I'm reading David Lynch's Room to Dream and revisiting most of his films as they're covered in the book. This gave me an excuse to pick up a copy of the Criterion Collection Eraserhead. Very much looking forward to indulging later this evening.

ust achieved a sort of holy grail for my book collection - picked up a (relatively) affordable copy of a first edition of Cormac McCarthy's Suttree, what I currently consider to be my "favorite" book. It has some condition issues, but presents quite well. Basking in its glow.

That is the attitude that will get you places!

That's a good point. If I went off with something like, "What the fuck are you looking at, it's a tub of hummus, like all the other tubs of hummus you dumbass bitch!" in Whole Foods, it would likely be frowned upon.

I don't currently drive, so I apparently experience my version of road rage at the grocery store. Today, a woman was lingering too long gazing upon a package of hummus, thus blocking my path to the refrigerated case, and I wanted to crush her skull.

Saturday night. Wine and old Herzog films as self-care.

Woo hoo!

It could also be a good Ray Bradbury story, in which once a year, all the people of the earth must endure six minutes of consequence.

Today at Whole Foods a lady was chastising her sullen toddler. She sternly told him: "You. Will. Have. Six. Minutes. Of. Consequence." So that's my new band name, Six Minutes of Consequence.

Far worse than Trump himself, worse than his vampiric cronies, is the fact that so many in the country actively support them and all they do, even now. This normalizing of the glorification of willful ignorance and cruelty to such a degree is disheartening, to say the least.

Yes!

I've taken performative reading to a new personal height by reading Lawrence Ferlinghetti's copy of Swann's Way on public transit to and from work.

I think they did Carl Sandburg a real disservice by having "Fog" represent his work in most textbooks and anthologies. I mean, it's a nice little poem, but it's not like you're going to read it and think, "Goddamn I need to read more of this dude's shit!!!"

Thanks, man!

Hey, I've got two poems in the new issue of Misfit magazine. With many thanks to the kind editors.

I subscribe to the idea that no one's gonna save you but yourself, but also it's a bummer, as I'm not sure I'm up to the task.

I officially don't enjoy listening to poems in which the reader busts out with a portion of a song at some point in the midst of the text. It's an overused schtick. Come at me.

Great song...and you DO have some Mascis style goin' on there!

Hey! My next poetry collection, The People are Like Wolves to Me, is due out in November from Roadside Press, just in time for my birthday. I'm excited about this one. #WritingCommunity #poetrycommunity
