i'm sorry the journal has been so terse and unhappy lately. something sad is happening.
but, i hope you don't avoid it here because of that.
tonight, i was treated to a forty dollar meal at a restaurant in seattle. an author came to town to schmooze the local booksellers, and the folks in my events department and i went out to schmooze back. nice...

why was this at the bottom of a piece of spam sent to me under the title "fix your computer":

let's all give emmett a hearty "good boy." we have just returned from the vet, where he took his booster like the little man he is. Perfect health, they say. he's even lost that extra pound he was carrying around.
after the vet, i went out to woodland park to renew my zoo membership and see the new jaguar enclosure.
i went by the pallas's...

mushrooms
walking me home from school dizzy says mushrooms
are weird, and miss potts told us it was only
fungus, but he could swear that in the salad
at dinner last night they were glowing like magic,
likebulby bright things dipped in moonshine light
and i say shut up dizzy, or well be late for the party
its nearly dark when we get to the party
and dizzy wants acid but i take mushrooms
because i like organic-type things, and the light
is hurting my eyes and i think if only,
if only, but its only dizzy doing a magic
trick with my buttons and afterwards we have salad
i hear someone singing then, see her throw salad
and cake and chips, the life of the party
has arrived, fat imelda they call her, hey magic
melda, show us some ass, and when i look she mushrooms
till she fills the house, reaches for me, only
shes choking, and i retch as her flesh clouds the light
music starts in another place, i need a light,
my hand are shaking awfully, drenched in salad
dressing im all alone now, just two hours, only
a while longer, usually i love to party
but tonight is strange, i cant stop thinking mushrooms
mushrooms mushrooms just fungus, shining magic
dizzys back oh dizzy please please magic
me home, but hes talking again; three birds alight
on his head, hazy red against the mushrooms
walls, chirping words flitting through the salad
house he says lets head back to the party,
was i gone from the party? if only
but the noise, the music, has fled and only
smoke remains, dry ice fog after a magic
show, then drifting thick black to end the party;
we go, through hungry licking orange light,
dizzy holding my hand sticky from the salad,
breathing fast and watching clouds of mushrooms
walking home its only midnight, under the lamplight
dizzy asks if magics real; i think about salad,
the party, and looking up hes right, the moon shines like mushrooms

New York. ... I don't know. I hate winter so I don't have a lot of good things to say right now. Get back to you on that one sometime in the middle of June.
Oysters are good, mussels are my favourite from that 'area' no... maybe garlic shrimp. mm. shrimp.
