Sean Lovelace offers a thoughtful and good review of AM/PM with cool pictures. Thank you Sean. Dan Wickett reviews the beautiful Annalemma #5 and my story therein. Thanks Dan.
- My ears are still buzzing from the show last night. I feel like there are metal teacups making an acoustic hoop around my head
- A man in the store said I looked too sad to be there
- “It’s a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to write or speak very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work”
- I intend to sing Hank Williams Jr. before an assembled crowd tomorrow
- I’ve been keeping a handwritten list of things I would Tweet if I had a Twitter
- Tell me your favorite Hank Williams Jr. song to win a copy of Annalemma
- Currently feeling mildly freaked out by the phrase “group dinner”
Starting to feel like I always say the same thing about your writing though – crazy ass beginning, can’t imagine what she’ll do with it, decide to sit back and enjoy ride, ride enjoyed greatly – I need a new description. Next time I’ll concentrate on the third word in each sentence and pretend there’s a secret message in the story.
number 3 can go fuck itself.
if you want tension quit masturbating.
put some voltage on your genitals.
walk a goddam highwire at a height you are not comfortable falling from
talk more than necessary to the point where all of your ideas sound stupid and then go home and write.
or not.
or learn how to talk about your work better so you don’t release so much tension all the time.
or i’m full of shit, which is pretty likely,
but still fuck number 3 and fuck all these fucking rules all the fucking time.
also, in regards to number 7: a group dinner is like a dinner party, but with less party and more group and but the same amount of dinner.
5: all my rowdy friends are coming over tonight.
5: runner up: his guest vocals on the kid rock song cadillac pussy, which consist of him singing “she had a cadillac pussy”
Dan, you’ve cracked the code!
Sasha, “fuck all these fucking rules all the fucking time,” spoken like a man in the midst of an MFA
amelia gray i am more or less in the midst or throes of some thing or another but i want my entries considered as well as my entirely valid point about number 7 on the list and i hope yr well as i have a cold.
I’ve always felt that “All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down” for it’s sense of making worthlessness sound fun or “A County Boy Can Survive” for its gratuitous West Virginia reference were far superior to “All My Rowdy Friends Are Comin’ Over Tonight.” Cadillac pussies are nice. But, personally, I like Hank III far more than Jr. “Legend of D. Ray White” is so much better than anything Jr. ever has done. Jr. sort of blows goats, really. Thankfully I have a goat leg here beside me on my desk. In this way I can distract him when he comes pamphleteering for the Republican party. Of course, cleaning off his saliva afterward is somewhat wearisome…
What’s the opposite of a copy of Annalemma
