They are tearing up the earth outside of my office - and while the noise and dust from it has been bad for oh, say, the past six months, today they are doing this thing - I am not sure event what, but it makes my desk vibrate like someone left their hitachi on high about 6 inches from my arm Now I am on the third day of this - and it SUCKS! My back, my arms, I think I am developing entirely new muscles just to absorb the chuga chuga chuga of it. My whole world is running on a low level vibration for 8 hours a day as if the world of admin work wasn't hell enough

run do not walk to your friendly limewire or otherwise non-income debilitating music provider and find this song: Title: SMOKE SMOKE SMOKE Artist: Tex Williams
You may doubt me, this may seem odd, but do it, do it now, it will make you smile
second things going, of course, second
I read at a wonderful open mic last night - it was good, it was intense, and I liked how it turned out. The feature was Daphne Gottlieb, who is always wonderful - reading some work that spoke to me in those pit of my stomach, my mind has to churn and enjoy and pull on the words like taffy for awhile because it's just that good. Right on thing, is that this new space, The Dark Room, is small, intimate, and just the right size to tempt artists to read the risky - it's been good to me this week.
I am liking where my mind is turning these days
