I’ve posted the first chapter of my novella, Adrift on the Mainstream, in the sidebar, immediately following all links.

Please feel free to share any comments/criticism. If you’re interested in reading more, I’ll happily supply.

I have several new links to add… and I need to replace a couple old, that disappeared I know not how or why.

Let’s begin with my friend chloegoth at Nifty Catchphrase – http://ubiquitousmoe.blogspot.com/. We have had many entangled connections over the years… we were residents of the same house (though not at the same time), shared the same comrades, the same scavenger hunts, and in some cases the same fascination with circus freaks and the like.

– Friday after work I had a couple hours, so I went to Marshall Fields on State for a cup of coffee. I love that place… in fact, it’s one of my favorite icons of capitalism. There’s something a little off-kilter and cool about the emphasis on green, and the marble rails climbing seven stories up the arcade.

COMMENTS
– The last 24-hours have been metaphysically surreal in the best sort of way. I got out of work early yesterday – 12:45 – and took care of banking and business. It started snowing and snowed densely through most of the day, but was surprisingly warm for all that.

Evidently three people posted their celeb crushes while I was writing the last post.

So:

The new question of the day:

Would you be a DC or a Marvel superhero? (If you like, you can take this a step forward, and name off some of your favorite superheroes…)

– Yesterday I was late because I slept through my alarm. Today, early and determined, I hurried out to the stop at 7:03 and boarded at 7:10. But there must’ve been an accident on Lake Shore Drive, because I were at a standstill, just a few miles from work, for about a half-hour.

COMMENTS
– I arrived to work 45 minutes late today. In the four months I’ve been on assignment here, this is the first time it’s happened. That said, considering that next three posts took me until 4:30 in the morning, I’ve only myself to blame.

Last night, Sam commented that all the news is bad news.
But it’s not all bad news.

If dorms are built in downtown Flint, that will salvage one fatality in Urbàntasm, represented by Northwestern or Southwestern. Central and Northern as still non-negotiable.

GOTHIC FUNK MANIFESTO #2

Like Francesco, the Great Cenci, I’m hungry, but 400 years have passed, so let’s divide, Mitosic like, this manifesto, into two parts:

Part 1. The Boring Part
Part 2. The Interesting Part

* * * * *

PART 1.

I just want to make it,
but still can “excuse”
how
by saying
well
I never want to get caught
by someone who says
“This is something you should have said
but never said,
at least without pressure, pretense, or ceremony,
so that the rest of us might hear.”
