hello smutsters, ah, the in-ter-net. ah, tech-no-logy. mmm. so much stuff. i feel like i'm planting seeds inside myself and waiting for spring when all these plants will start growing out of me. maybe i'm feeling too close to nature. or nature metaphors... here is something interesting said by Dave Eggers in McSweeney's about people who are impressed by nothing: "I honestly think it's a result of too much time spent indoors, in dark rooms, reading critiques of criticism of opinions about trends. One needs, I think, very often, some exposure to the source material � that is, the world." And i thought of jenowl out in the woods talking to the trees. outdoors is good. but so are books and the internet. i guess we must strive for balance. there was poetry mentioned. the other day, my boy gave me 'the lost luna bedaeker', a book of mina loy's poetry, which made me very happy as i've been living for years with only a handful of photocopies of mina loy poetry. it is nice when people give you things you really should have bought yourself years ago. now i just need someone to buy me a vacuum (one that sucks up dirt and dust in my house, not a space devoid of matter. though that might be fun to throw things into and then wonder where they went and wonder also when and if they will come back. ha ha, but don't we all have enough metaphorical vacuums anyway, hum hum, har har. ah. er.) the week before last was my birthday. really, all of that week. i had five cakes! the best cake was a homemade one in the shape of hello kitty, with red paper bow and licorice border. i thought a good cake would be in the shape of the b&s bus, but it did not happen. maybe next year. or maybe a cake in the shape of le tigre. which would be the shape of total radness! i don't know what that shape looks like, but it would be great. great like outdoors. great like the new le tigre ep. i'll meet you in the street, robyn ===== I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything. ~Steven Wright ~~~ Robyn Fadden rfadden@yahoo.com Vancouver, BC __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
