thought i lost a post last night. figured what the hell, but when i logged in tonight noticed that it was there. so i republished, but since sometimes there is a delay of several hrs before i can see the update on my blog, don't know if it is there or no.

all things tech seem to be sucking for me right now. tried to order tickets for the california state fair, we go every year, we look forward to it, if we didn't live in sac we probably wouldn't give a shit about it, but anna and i, and now nicholas, grew/growing up with it, and we love it's fried-foods-on-a-stick insanity, but i get off point. i had a bit of trouble logging on to their site. very frustrating as hell.

think i've got a working manuscript now for my loops chap. once that is in the can, i'll go back to my ed wood sonnets. then from there, perhaps i'll stop thinking about poems as series and write them as episodic and random as my life often seems. am interested in journal poetics, the kind practiced by william corbett and james schuyler. one step at a time, i guess.

i've not watched any movies for several days. every free moment has been spent reading/writing, often till the early morning hrs. there ain't much showing at the local cinemas. god knows why the fuck the tv show miami vice was made into a feature. are there no good, original ideas in hollywood no more? each morning i pass a shop that displays photos and drawings of pin-up extraordiniare bettie page in its window. one of my loop poems is about page and her photographer irving klaw. i can't wait to see the recent biopic about her.

here's looking at you kid
