I feel like I know Italian today. I’m eating roasted Brussels sprouts and typing about online education. I have 33 tabs open.
I preordered MLKNG SCKLS by Justin Sirois. I remember this summer I picked up Matthew Simmons in a rental car and drove him to his house, and as we were getting into the rental car he was telling me some convincing words about MLKNG SCKLS. It was sunny.
Also I ordered Aaron Burch’s chapbook HOW TO TAKE YOURSELF APART, HOW TO MAKE YOURSELF ANEW. PANK is contributing all proceeds from all sales (between now and 2/13/10) of the chapbook, and PANK 4 to the Red Cross and Médecins Sans Frontières.
Tonight I’m meeting with Stacy and others to do the last round of Five Things contest judging. We got some very strong and varied entries and I’m proud of Austin writers. Well anyway later.
I’m good at convincing people of things in rental cars. I use this power for good.
Thanks again, Amelia!
It will be in the mail this week.
Love brussel sprouts now. HATED them as a kid. I’d hide them in a tall glass of milk and either pour then down the toilet when mom wasn’t looking or gulp them down trying not to taste them in a frenzy of red-faced milky green hell.
These days, I just saute them in a little olive oil with some coarse sea salt. SO GOOD.
Lots of great reads in this list, couple more I need to go pick up. Man, I need a part time job just to pay for my indie lit habit.
