Well, glad to hear that all the poets are still alive and kicking their verbal socks off...it was weird not seeing it at the top of my group activity list!

and yeah, there's a lot that's killing me about the new layout too...like the fact that clicking on someone's name takes you to a weird profile page instead of a profile cum blog. weird. all the snarking on SBs is killing me too, but that's neither here nor there.

I really wanted to thank all the poets, esp. you, Huck and Vasilisa. I would do that by making ya'll my top 5 (whatever significance that has), but every time I try to do that, SG seems to meltdown on me. Obviously I wasn't meant to have "top friends" here

i'm happy to hear that my presence here might be helpful in some way - sometimes I feel that my work, and my aesthetic is so far off the beaten track here that, I don't know, I (might) =

and there were other things I was going to say...but I forget them...

oh, yeah! re: my "maturity" questions...maybe you should meet my gf. you'd be perfect for each other!

That's a fantastic profile pic.
Thanks for the birthday wishes. It's been a good 'un.
Damn groovy you might even say, if you were so inclined.

i love the fool card, love your characterization of yourself as the fool. your bluntness, while it may be offputting and surprising to others at first, probably serves as a steam valve for your "circle of friends," i'd guess (?)

re: what i "have," http://www.cfids-cab.org/MESA/ gives as general idea as is possible.

sorry about my careless / selfish flinging about of random s/m lexicon.

i like your new profile pic, posing with canvases

Yah, going to spain tomorrow

hows you?


pfft. being two is really no excuse for being short xx

well, glad you liked the vitruvian at least.

and my testimonial, you holy fool!

oh you big lameass. it took me ages to think up "a beard with a hero hanging off it". suit yerself.

have you heard of Jay Munly?

p.s. to elaborate on my disapproval of your testi-purge - "true"? they're true to us, and we're your friends, so just grin and bear it, ok? :p

Me too

One of these days, when I get a chance to read this stuff before midnight, I'm going to sit down and compose poems based soley on the images presented to me here, in this blog. You never cease to fascinate me with what you come up with.

incidentally, i love that turner piece. mostly, i really dislike the 'popular' stuff by the likes of turner and constable, but turner did some great work regardless, and i respect anyone who can work in a medium like watercolors that i'm. . . bloody useless with. just totally useless. i was better with those crappy round blocks they had in high school, back in the day - paintings my mother loves to haul out now and again. she loves that crappy old stuff, hates my work NOW, but loves. . . still lifes of skulls and onions. ugh.

berlin is awesome. i have kind of been chilling out the last two days though, reading hemingwayand some bukowski (what else?), cooked dinner for my hosts and have really just been catching up on lost time with yvonne and. . . entertaining the baby, which. . . is kind of cool.

the 'seeing art til my brain aches' starts tomorrow.

and t'will be good, so it will

apologize for the willy waving - it wasn't meant for your eyes

I hope you weren't permanently scarred

I forget that this interface collects and broadcasts attachments (however private)

have a better one

dude, seriously, if you look into it you'll see the "flat rate" is a block of ten. i would imagine the ISBN Agency would argue that selling in multiples encourages a healthy rate of publication, but the truth is probably that they just make more money this way.

i was going to send you a free copy of my book without thinking twice; after all, you are providing the cover image. but if you really wanna buy it, i can't stop you.

Bouville - yeah, i get ya. it's true i'm not exactly reliable. and to be honest i would have courted yourself and the others for more pictures these past months if i hadn't been so wrapped up in my pretensions of authorship. anyway, the Summer/2nd Birthday edition will be badass, and you should anticipate my bothering you some time in June. for now, have a look at paltry Spring. not much to read, but we've been doing some Spring cleaning of the previous posts, which includes the introduction of a new image rendering system i think you'll like. "it's all gravy", as they say.

Here it is. Who is the artist? What's the Rapunzel reference?

alright WittyJack, I'll pick up the gauntlet. Tell me something about St. Patty that'll make me hate the bastard a little less.
LOL
And yes, please send me a print of that woodcut!

try some gingko biloba. I take that and tends to make my dreams more vivid.
