I put the books where the voices tell me to put them. Except in the fridge, the fridge is for the infant god.

It is indeed an honor to see one's words on the breast of the great equanimity-bot. Thanks, Jordan! Hope you are staying cool in the office...

Went on a picnic with Karl Merleau-Marcuse . There was an earwig in the duck pate. He called me a rueful fig. I said his hat was tawdry. He drew his revolver. I drew mine. I was shot in the arm, spleen, gullet and shoe. Karl was shot in the kidneys, lips, ear and knee. Afterward, we laughed and wept bitterly at the folly of it.

New favorite Google search resulting in a hit to this blog: "what's wrong with Masonite siding?"

OK, so I'm a little pathologically iconoclastic today...

I didn't see Blue Crush or Blue Juice, but I'd venture that the best surfing movie of all time is Surf Nazis Must Die or, alternately, the "Skeet Surfing" scene from Top Secret.

While I find the idea of engaging in activities actually related to surfing somewhat problematic and antithetical, what say you Tieger, Rizzo and Mick (or anyone else for that matter) to Shin Yu's idea about an outing to said surfing documentary?

I generally find sports movies to be odious, but since it's at the Kendall, maybe it isn't all that bad. "Best in Show" was pretty good. Is dog showing a sport? I never saw any of those skateboarding movies because I thought they might give me flashbacks to when I used to work at a youth center with a skatepark: shining a flashlight under the halfpipe to try and recover the teeth that had gotten knocked out of some 10-year old hotshot's mouth...

This is a prelude to something else...

ARMILLARIA OSTOYAE



1.

Mycelium of frost on frail grass

lit up at this hour by saved

daylight says	spring's been born still

like a record is born	    only quickened 

by revolving		    the way my tongue

on your palm is a revolution

	     the way this starched town shrinks 

from its own ankles



          put the needle on the



huge orange moon hung

over Biogen by unseen forces		

        In runnels:      	sacramental wine

exceeds its object



2.

Easter morning: 	    all the spoons

bend around Holger Czukay shouting

        You've made a believer out of me



Long lines at the donut shop



Under Oregon

mycelium garners a rapture

           specimens as large as 1.6 million square feet



I shave poorly		      thrust the key 

into the lock		

                        not quite believing

Sticking your head in the fridge is not necessarily the polar opposite of sticking your head in the oven...

Argh.
