stuff i thought about today at work:

* i practice no organized religion, but i do read strunk and white's "elements of style" nearly every day.

someday, i might start writing it like this: str-nk and wh-te.

* if you come to my book store, i'm the guy at the kid's info desk with the temporary strega nona tattoo. don't point and laugh.

painted a winged jackalope on doc's back last night. ran to a nearby convenience store to pick up a disposable camera at 1am to get a shot.

read to her, and we fell asleep. emmett spent the night making rounds, going from her to me, purring and tapping us awake, begging for an ear stroke or a belly scratch.

I'm reading "Hard Boiled Wonderland.." love it.

Sorry it took me so long to reply, I'm extra busy this month. Yes, I've worked at a local bookstore for 5 years, I'm actually on extended pregnancy leave right now, but I still do thier graphic design.

I hope my babies first word is haberdashery! I will know I did a damn good job. LOL

Return of the Jackalope! Yes! Sometimes you just cannot beat that domestic bliss. I liked 'Snow Angels'; I think my favorite is 'In the Walled City' - short, gut-wrenching stories, simply written. Off to the library for a fresh batch. Anything striking, I'll let you know.

here's an update:

doc is here, and we're going to watch casino royale. she's roasting a chicken, and the apartment smells like rosemary and thyme. she just walked up to me with a bit of chicken in her hand, offered it to me.

it's peppery, and salty, and spicy....

Despite all the value we place on it, there is something very moving about the word itself: "Hasselhoff"
Thanks for the Gould recommendation. In return, have you tried Stewart O'Nan? He has written a bunch of stuff about Vietnam, however I like his short stories much better.
I just noticed your John Fante Aim.
Rock on.

great bands. the creation... wowsa...gbv...past the red dog bobby pollard's in the house.

I wouldn't worry about the cat thing. I openly admit to calling my cats "mommy's little poop factories" and people seem to like me anyway. Go to the block party and have lots of fun. If you drink enough it should be easy to find some new way of making an ass of yourself. Then you can stay awake at night burning with the shame. What fun!
