Happy new year!

So long 2005, you son of a bitch!

From the Cannibal to his Dying Love

My sweet,
Your beauty is not what it once was.
Do not weep,
Beauty changes, does not diminish.
I cannot recall your shape and form
Young and supple among the lush reeds
Where long ago I caught your scent
And fell to grass as though drunk.

Memories fade through years
Like colorless daguerreotypes
missionaries bring.
You have seen...

I hope your holidays were as beautiful and delightful as a pumpkin-pecan-cheese pie!

My parents sent me shoes for Christmas!

This was very kind of them. They didn't have to send anything. And I sincerely appreciate that they did.

The thing of it is, though, the shoes are awful. They are all-white sneakers, with no color whatsoever. They look like something the denizen of mental...

A Waking Dream

Are you real?
Are you really here?
Or are you some phantasm,
Some desire conjured to flesh
By a hungry brain
And a heart overflowing
To emptiness?
Suddenly your weight in my hands
Has meaning;
The lines my fingers trace
Speak a sensual truth.
Fantasy, poetry crumble away,
Bags of dusty bones,
Murdered and buried
By the cold hard fact
Of your...

Merry Christmas, all ye creatures!

Rub my belly?

I simply opened the window and in flew Enza.
My girls are in the grip of the stomache flu.
Poor little chickens.

I am working at home today ... but somehow find myself distracted.

Katelyn and Julie are watching the Grinch. I am trying to burn the Stone Reader DVD, but I can't figure out how it works.
Fuck the instructions.

2. Grappling hook
3. Surgical scissors

12. Plastic dropcloths ... big ones....

Bored now.

I am bored as a bored dragon in his boring lair on a heap of boring gold and the old bones of his foes. I feel like making trouble, performing mischief, and tearing shit up.

I want to fight a rhino, wrestle a dwarf (again), bitch-slap a ninja, seduce a barbarian warrior queen and eat a really big sandwich.

But I must keep...

It is literally true that for all of yesterday I had a live shark in my pocket.

And I got a nice belly rub ...

1. I am going to have lunch with Allie this weekend, and (most likely) you are not.

2. Work: I am surrounded by cowards. This is the second investigate article I have written that they bitched out and refused to print for political reasons. May their anuses be stopped with boils.

3. This noodle concoction with the mushrooms seemed like a good idea at the...
