We went on a hot air balloon ride this morning.

Monday, October 24, 2011

Getting the basket ready. Unrolling the balloon. Inflating the balloon. More inflation (now with heat). Franklin area from above. (This was really cool, but I didn’t get a whole lot of impressive photos.) Me. Treetops (on the descent). Alan getting left behind, briefly. They had some people get out when we landed, to help walk [...]

View from our cabin. Blue heron posing for the paparazzi. We went to the aquarium. Jellyfish. What up. Penguins! We will be going back to pet them. Gourds cleverly disguised as penguins.

Once I finish working out the kinks for epub I’ll put that up too, and add vendors (Apple istore, B&N, etc.). I’m having a few technical difficulties with my process for epub which I expect to straighten [...]

I’ve posted a fundraising appeal for the Seven by Twenty anthology, 140 And Counting over at Kickstarter. Go check it out, and delight in the charming yet awkward stop-motion video that took me way too long to make.

I now covet these sofas they have that have three distinct upholstered backs, which I have just this second learned are called medallion backs, like this (only theirs had [...]

So I’ve been busy

Saturday, June 18, 2011

This is some of what’s been keeping me busy: In writing news, I sold a poem to The Furnace Review! Yay! I love them. Also, I have two poems in the recently released issue of The Magazine of Speculative Poetry, including my sci-fi adaptation of Gertrude Stein’s Tender Buttons.

Some of them, often the best of them, will go undercover—wear suits and carry briefcases, returning to their writing desk only after the sun has gone down and the city has gone to sleep.

Last Sunday I went to see Reverend Father Ernesto Cardenal Martínez read at Vanderbilt. I don’t speak Spanish, so I had to rely on the translations, which is always a bit dodgy with poetry. If you watch the video linked above, you’ll see he read a number of poems including “Gazing at the Stars with [...]
