Sinister: it feels so 80s, or early 90s

[Robyn Fadden]

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
