I feel luscious today.

Ever want to just see someone you know naked? You don't want to fuck 'em or get saucy with 'em, just see 'em plain ol' naked?

My wife and I bid on a super juicy house today, and our bid was accepted!!

TODAY = DELICIOUS

I'm obsessed with graphic novels this week. MY GOD, there's suddenly so many of them!! I'm just talking about the non-super hero ones from Fantagraphics, Alternative Press and Drawn and Quarterly!! The whole genre of comics has changed over the last year or so --- that latest issue of McSweeny's an indication of the change.

The latest issue of Eightball blew my socks clear off...

Feeling overwhemed, but in a good way...pls forgive my rather conventional journal entry today.

Put our house on the market Monday and will be hunting for a new, bigger house this weekend. Looking forward to the bigger house, as I'll finally be able to have library and a studio, like I've always wanted my entire life! Worked hard to get to this point...

...but at...

SAMANTHA SODA

Human history pauses.

Reaction motion full stop, sputtering figures,
Samantha and you, two and two,
voices fading in an undefined space, a concrete
hallway that absorbs word and noise.

plummet hammer, Samanthas
face straight on, eye on eye, pop dropping drink,

The story is this: over a period of about 3 months, the model has a brief, but intense relationship with a member of a rock band that travels through time. Though there is no evidence of the male lover in the photos, he brought a Polaroid camera with him and took some photographs of during his visits.

In the artwork, a fictional third party (a...

MILK TATTOO

I am the eater of bacon and bread.
You are the princess, milk-face, ultra tattoo.
Rulers of the hackneyed corners of this hairy, flustered,
dish cracking room.
Landed in softness. Hampered in loom.
