Category: field notes
// was asked this weekend if i still blog: yes, no, blogging is so 2004… blogging is not publishing, publishing is not blogging…
// you’re a coworker, not my friend. happy friday…
//
my library fine is over eight dollars… maybe i should just buy the book…
Field notes
// somedays, i can go a whole day at the office without saying a few dozen words to coworkers or clients… i don’t do this intentionally… it’s just part of being involved in special projects… maybe it’s the whole out-of-site-out-of-mind equation… & it’s not that i’m goofing off… working on a design for sales sheet promoting new media advertising opportunities… still, if i knew it was going to be this dull today, i would have taken a personal day & worked in the garden…

is it possible to have a literary hangover? i’m thinking in extended metaphors while drinking bold coffee from my new french press…

coming up on the 3-year anniversary of 1st publishing effort… almost 10,000 books sold…

read a german sonnet from the sixteenth century during lunch… it was delicious… i’ll have some russian stanzas for dessert…
//
in an escape from the bias and collectivism of wikipedia, i discovered and am enjoying the encyclopædia britannica’s blog. some of the interesting stories of the day include: Do Americans Support Capitalism, and Which Capitalism? and Starbucks Not the Answer for New York Freelancers. My favorite post so far is Creative Design (Space-Saving Coffee Lids).

looking for my lost poems… if you find them let me know… the assignment is due before wednesday…
//
50% of the book division’s catalog achieved breakeven/profit status… a case for small press publishers?

kidlinger at breakfast: you spell rose ‘r-i-o-s’ (& points to the last 4 letters in cheerios)…
//
is it counterproductive to edit a poetry manuscript while listening to metallica…
//
from seeds, i now have 18 pea plants, 18 pepper plants, 10 spinach plants, 18 cantaloupe, 20 cabbage… the rest are still germinating…
//
i should reply to all the emails i’ve neglected… but every time i start, the kidlingers turn berserker & search for lands to plunder…
//
trying to figure out if this poem will work better in a 6-line, 3-stanza form or a 3-line, 6 stanza form…
//
rubbing snow out of my eyes in an attempt to wake up… i could really use coffee… it’s been almost 30 days without the dark elixir…
//
binge writing… equivalent fractions… bulimia nervosa… three-step allegorical algorithm… snow ‘makes me rush/my poem…’
//
still hear a hajhuj ringing in my ears…
is old europe out of business?
i was wandering downtown a few nights ago in search of a jamacan coffee, but the lights were out and looked like old europe has closed shop.
//
co-worker: what are you eating? your so healthy. that’s not like you to eat something like that. where’s that from?
me: it has jalapenos and monterey jack cheese…
co-worker: oh, i can’t believe it.
