cool jerk.

tinychat lief.

last night there was a party on ana c's tinychat after jacob steinberg's one-man ustream extravaganza (which i had to miss due to internet difficulties). luckily, my son invited me to the chat and my friend kelly and i joined in enthusiastically.


here are some things i learned on tinychat:

1. jacob steinberg has a lot to say about argentina, tao lin, internet poetry, scene lief, his exes... basically, JS has a lot to say. i like listening to his voice. i would probably listen to JS talk to himself for at least five hours straight, if he was interested in this kind of thing.

2. two internet relationships blossomed in ana c's tinychat last night. one between JS and david sorensen, who made it fb official, and one between spencer madsen and stacey teague, who are just plain cuties.

3. spencer madsen is a very sound sleeper and looks pretty great doing it.


4. everyone owns bandanas and can put them on at a moment's notice except my friend kelly. improvising with a napkin looks pretty cool but makes your face very hot and prevents you from making gang signs and in the long run just isn't very scene i guess.


5. jackson nieuwland's parents are really keut and his father is like also a talented poet or something.

6. stacey teague lives in the forest and plays on her laptop out there.

7. all new zealanders (kiwis?) are extremely tall and may be referred to as "giants," whereas ana c and i are the exact same height, which is short (5'3").


8. spencer is distraught that jacob is leaving new york. best friend love :(

9. a very young man named joe roberts is the best planker i've ever seen. (pics? screencaps?)

10. mike kitchell has the best hair. the best. hair. stealin' the show :)

things i've learned from stalking awp photos.

i can see poet aliki barnstone's photos on facebook from the 2011 awp conference in washington, dc. this is what i've learned:

1. my professors, current and past, are (one) friends irl--which i guess i knew already--and (two) extra.


2. my friend & fellow mfa candidate eva is 'that customer'.


and 3. john estes is a hottie.


seriously, such a hottie.


so hot, i might just go out and buy his books. (hey, it worked for junot diaz at awp. well, that and he's 'talented' and 'inspiring' and 'sexual' or whatever.)

am i a stalker? yes. is it okay? yes. john waters taught me that my insanity is alright as long as i embrace it.

this is pretty disturbing.

a behind the scenes look at my blogger... it's worth it, i promise.

found this in my stats for the day:


which landed me here:


um, great.

fuck it, skins is hot.


number one (and only) reason to see the new x-men: nicholas hoult, tom ford's fave lil cutie. yummm.


if he wrote books, i'd read 'em.

gosh darn this freaking rapture, u guyz.

i was rly into the rapture when i first heard abt it. when i saw this billboard (on google, would have been sweet irl too i'm sure) i thought, yes i will save the date!


i recorded the date in my iCal and started getting excited for this:


then i started thinking abt some of the downsides. personally hoping i'm one of the 200 million people god chooses for this, cuz otherwise i don't even get to go to hell, u guyz. harold camping says if u aren't raptured, ur annihilated, meaning u just cease to be conscious. that would be a bummer. um, if i'm gonna die i wanna meet all the baddies. and if i can't meet the baddies, i guess i'll settle for meeting jesus. i just don't wanna stop thinking. that's like, freaking terrifying.

while i'm like probably excited and all in general, i am pretty freaking upset the rapture is tomorrow, cuz i missed out on all the free swag.


freaking pissed i can't get some free stickers and stuff. guess i can still download the books, tho. there's time to read them all before tomorrow, rite?

a few poems (circa 2003).

The definition of sodomy is funny.

I really hope the dance isn't cancelled Friday.  We're all going to be so depressed if it is!

Mike kept saying "quality." I don't know what was so quality but something was.

I got my wisdom teeth out.  The drugs were great.

They're not letting me go back to his house again, because of the two hickeys.

scip (left) and two friends, university of maryland, 1970. american flags and chucks were ironic before you wore them. look at these hipsters.

drinking and missing out.

there are some things i missed out on in the internets last night due to drinking and merrymaking irl with friends. lucky for me and for you if you missed out too, much of it was recorded.

ear eater #5 is here.

this is me irl, a night with shaun gannon, dj berndt, jess dutschmann and someone i don't know doesn't seem to be recorded on ustream, but i found a bit of it on youtube:


have you found more of this glorious event recorded online? do you know where i can watch what i have missed? please, please, let me know.
