Productive Evening
I spent about 3 and a half hours at Filter. I drank a crapload of coffee, and revised the poems that I had separated out as my “strong” poems. Most of it was slight edits (a comma here, a comma removed there). I did get a few substantal revisions in, which felt pretty good. On…
Cement Graffiti
They’re tearing up North Avenue (and have been for about a week or two). I keep meaning to get shots of all the construction, but most mornings I’m running late. To be honest, I’m not sure what they’re doing to the streets. But they’re ripping the hell out of the roads and traffic is blocked…
Lazy, Indecisive Day
For most of the morning (and into the afternoon), I couldn’t get motivated. I was going to run errands, but ended up just watching television. It got so bad that, after a point, I was watching cooking shows on PBS, getting hungry, but then being unable to decide if I wanted to make food, order…
Fill This
Fill This! is a monthly collaboration project (with roots from the Thunder Dome, I believe). Each month a new canvas is posted, which anyone can then download and play with. Feel free to upload your own images or browse what others have done. (Site created by Bastian).
Forum > Thread > Trailer > Album
On Twelvestone, I came across this thread thread, which led me to the Garden State movie trailer, which features a song called “Let Go” by a group called Frou Frou. I got hooked by the tune, and ended up buying the album last night. Been looping that song a lot. The general consensus seems to…
Flash Programmer Position: Second Story
Second Story, a great web design house based in Portland, is looking to hire a Flash programmer. Saw this earlier today, and thought I’d pass it along. I’m not sure if I have what they’re looking for but, if I weren’t already happy where I am, I’d be all over this job like nobody’s business….

Bituminous?
by Shel Silverstein The hard coal’s called bituminous,Or is that the anthracite?Stalactites grow down from caves,Or do I mean stalagmites?Those fluffy clouds are nimbus—No—wait—they might be cumulus.And that kid who was raised by wolves—Was he Remus—or Romulus?The brothauruses ate no meat.Does that means they’re carnivorous?Or were they brontosaurusesAnd were they herbivorous?A camel is a pachyderm—Or…
A Day of Meetings and Free Meals
At work today, we have some folks visiting from Terre Haute. We all went out to eat lunch and, after an afternoon of meetings and chat… headed out for dinner around 5:00 PM. I am full with steak and mashed potatoes, and expect I’ll be sleeping somewhat soon. Here’s a nice snapshot of the evening,…
With Three International Students on the Olentagy Bridge in Ohio
by Michael Lohre It is twilight and the river barely winds.The east arches remind me of Dresden far away on the Rhine before we destroyedour minds. Bomb us to the river. It’sthe only place that’s safe. Sandbarsbelow like the back of a whale to rideaway. The lights of the city comingon like eyes in the…
Preface
Alright. Enough of that shit. Let me tell you about this poem that my friend Mike wrote. It kicks ass, and you should read it out loud. I first heard this poem some six or seven years ago. Reading it again today, that line about Kenya still gives me the shivers,
Beating Myself Up
I was going over some pictures I took from the AWP conference a while back (which I’ll post soon, I promise). Looking over things, I feel very distanced from my writer friends who are still working, still writing. It’s not a lack of faith in my own work, or in myself… it’s just that I…
all your oebase are belong to us
While looking around for The Unicorns and Menomena, I stumbled across a Portland music site called OEbase. Pretty damn cool.
Sidenote
I’m On Standby ain’t too shabby either.:loops:
