sleeping people are interesting. wish i was one of them...

HAH! pure genius..and maybe a little creepy.
put this in my journal once before, but it bears repeating:
"when you have spent as long inside yourself as i have you learn a certain humility in the face of hardship, and then you learn it again. it takes years to become as softhearted and hopeful as i am. i had no business dancing with a young woman like that. i should have known...

Beautiful news, MEL. It just HAD to be so.
Consider this nugget from Playboy:
"We only rarely publish novel excerpts and if we do, they are by well known writers whose work readers are waiting for anxiously." Hm. Fuck me, then, I guess.
If you're up for it at all, the Sea and Cake w/ Califone are playing here on Wenesday, so they must be playing in Seattle this week. You should go. Take the Doc.
Good Luck.

i admire your diligence in scouting for me. must try college inn.
ninjatuner:
No. There are so many people, yet so few things to actually 'do' when we grow up. How about these two things that we are taught that actually cancel each other out: 'You can be anything you want to be.' & 'Just be yourself.' If I can be be anything, how do I know if I'm being myself. It's like a cruel riddle.
saw george pelecanos last night. he signed my copy of soul circus with a "nice to see you again. george pelecanos".
last year, he signed hell to pay with a "nice to see you again. george pelecanos".
like doc says, that george is one cool customer.

two friends came over last night, and we drank beer/bourbon and played the old odyssey2. i still kill at attack of the time lord, so don't test me.
doc arrived later.
this morning, she's feeling poorly, so no trip to the dog park, no rummy or king's in the corner at sully's snowgoose. just caring for the doc.

my friend made a super8 film, and he showed it at the little theater open screening last night. the theme of the night was "performance", so everyone made music to play with their movies. i made some beeping noises on an SK-1. the program said, "music by mather simmons"
my name is not mather. nelson has terrible handwriting.
his film was under a minute long....

over my heart tattoo sounds kind of appealing. i think i might consider that one. 
thanks
thanksi am, and always was, a person who ruminates. thus, the zoloft.
i have learned to channel my circles. it took at least 2 decades. you will notice lots of poker talk here, over the last and coming weeks. poker's the "kick". the "kick" keeps me going. keeps me nominally sane.
domestic bliss does, too.
