Sinister: smashing dandelions with a stick

[Jenny Payne]

I'd just like to take a few seconds to thank my SINISTER SECRET SANTAS.... 
both of whom came through (via New York and Australia) with lovely and 
thoughtful gifts!  And of course, thanks are due to The Llew for 
organizing the grand scheme as well!

My secret Santas received a copy of my latest winter mix.  Anyone up for a 
CD mix trade?  

I hope you all had a good New Year's Eve.  I went up to DC super 
last-minute and ended up having a blast at a party where it seemed all the 
boys were librarians and the girls, DJs.  Lots of sushi, soul & indie 
music, window-markers, remote-controlled cars, Italian cookies, jackass 
noisemaker horns, monkey masks, and dancing all around!  

I've been reading Jack Kerouac haikus (the plural is technically 'haiku,' 
but JK preferred the 's' at the end) lately and have found them 
interesting, especially how he took the traditional form and ran with it.  
I'll leave you with a couple of my favorites:

Those birds sitting
 out there on the fence -
They're all going to die.

You paid yr homage, 
 to the moon, 
And she sank.

Nightfall,
boy smashing dandelions
with a stick.

Jenny
