Talking Image Connection at the Soap Factory...

...was so fun!

June 14th Ekphrastic Bonanza

Writers Alison Morse, Tammy Wenberg and I and musicians Peter Schimke and Bill Mike have all been collaborating in response to a collaborative art installation at the Soap Factory Gallery, and we're going to present our work on Saturday at 8:00. I'm really excited about it. Please come.

Ms. Asylum to you

Oh it's storming, and I kept rereading the same damn paragraph in my John D'Agata book. Behold the fruits of all my poor wittle brain could handle this evening.

You Are Punk Music

You've thought long and hard about what mainstream society has to offer... And you've pretty much decided that most normal things aren't for you. You're creative, expressive, and likely to do things yourself. You are a rebel and a fighter. You'll defend your point of view to anyone.

What Kind of Music Are You?

You Are a Question Mark

You seek knowledge and insight in every form possible. You love learning. And while you know a lot, you don't act like a know it all. You're open to learning you're wrong. You ask a lot of questions, collect a lot of data, and always dig deep to find out more. You're naturally curious and inquisitive. You jump to ask a question when the opportunity arises. Your friends see you as interesting, insightful, and thought provoking. (But they're not always up for the intense inquisitions that you love!) You excel in: Higher education You get along best with: The Comma

What Punctuation Mark Are You?

Your Goth Name is:

Amethyst Asylum

What's Your Goth Name?

You Are Ginger

Like ginger, you are a total shape shifter. You can be sweet, spicy, mellow, or overpowering. You are both soothing and unique. You are popular... yet you are often overlooked.

What Spice Are You?

Hey!

There's a moving sale going on over at Coffee House Press! Everything's half off until the end of June!!!!

Not a record

This is not the most pens I have ever come home after work to find stuffed in my hair, but I like how this photo makes it seem like Johnny Cash is participating in my updo.

Happy!

I am a slightly better player than this cat. To be fair, though, my theremin is a Moog Etherwave, so I have a technical advantage... The video proves that the cat has one more fan than I do, too.

Imaginary Press Reading Series Tonight!!

And it is going to be an outstanding installment: Cynthia Arrieu-King, Kristi Maxwell, Michael Rerick, and Jon Skuldt!
