Stuff and Nonsense

-WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING LATELY-

Avoiding sinkholes, mostly.


-WHAT I'VE BEEN READING LATELY-

Only Forward - Michael Marshall Smith
I love a book in which you cannot guess the next twist. And love better the book wherein you shouldn't, but do, and then the narrator calls you a 'smartarse' for having done so. Best narrator ever. Genre-defying, exciting, freaky, esoteric, brutal, horrifying, true, fantastical - loved this to bits.

Ring - Koji Suzuki
Compared (unjustly) to Murakami, the book makes the film look better (the Japanese version, I mean; the USA film isn't nearly as good). Still, a decently creepy read if you can get past the appalling translation (or wooden writing, I'm not really sure which it is.)

The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold
Chick lit for morbid people. Beautiful, strange, uplifting. I also find myself suddenly obsessed with sinkholes.

The Riders - Tim Winton
This book gutted me. Gorgeous. Sad. Funny. Read it.

The Invisibles - Grant Morrison
Makes Gaiman look like kindergarten.

Focault's Pendulum - Umberto Eco
Dan Brown, for people who don't breathe through their mouths.

Probably because I didn't log in for a while. But yepyep, here I am, offering a very belated THANKS to ^neurotype for giving my poem Thirteen a Daily Deviation.

Just goes to show, I oughta log in more often, eh. :bucktooth:

Tonight I'll shave the mountain


I'll cut the hearts from pharaohs
I pull the road off of the rise
Tear the memories from my eyes

I drink a thousand shipwrecks
Tonight I'll steal your paychecks
I paint the sheets across my bed
The birds will all fly from my head

Take every dream that's breathing
Find every boot that's leaving
Shoot all the lights in the cafe
And in the morning I'll be gone

I haven't written any poetry in a long time, and after reading some of yours I am truly inspired. It feels like just when I was starting to break through and find some great lyrics it died. It might have been a good 3 years now since I've even thought about it, but I like to think I'll get back on the horse now. Thank you. Please keep being inspired and inspiring.

Hi Sal,

wanted to let you know that you had a poem at PFFA that made it as a "Picks of the Litter" poem.

Now you're on the wall of fame.

Way to go,
Mike

Honestly, you've made me so impatient as of late that I agreed to do something that I knew would upset you and take another fight.

You've nobody but yourself to blame.
