Back in Eugene for 24 hours.
*
I ate the best grilled-cheese sandwich in the history of the world the other night. Two cheeses, one goaty, the other creamy-melty (fontina? muenster?) w/ sundried tomatoes, arugula. Thai food at a shady restaurant. Bad pizza last night at one of the pizza places with a video arcade, lots of balloons, and trillions of ankle-biters.
*
Evil coffee twice.
*
My box of Canaries, red issue (#4), finally arrived. If I owe you one, drop me a line with your mailing address.
*
Semi-finalist. Again. Time to retool the ms.
*
I can't keep up with Jonathan. I leave for two days and now--I can't be current. Too much to comment on. Reb too. You guys, slow down--at least when I leave town.
*
Send me email to my gmail account. It will make me feel important.
*
Mountain Goats coming up twice--Monday in PDX, Tuesday in Eugene.
*
This week, at least, I'm allergic to a) the Covert couch, or b) the Covert cat, Loaf. Itchy itchy. All better now. I had to take Benadryl. Benadryl should not be sold over the counter because it makes you fucking CRAZY.
*
Stayed up very late on Thursday, talking to Jack and Julia. Jack is convinced I'm a thug. We're, you know, still friends and everything, but he finds me thuggish.
*
Cop or Thug? I could star in a film in which I played both leads.
*
The manifesto for the New Sincerity is in the works. Suggested titles: "Constantly
Risking Sentimentality" or "Please Excuse Our Failure" or "Why the
Long Face." Titles courtesy of Andy Mister.
*
If you are interested in New Sincerity and all that it entails and think you'd like to join, email me a short paragraph outlining your qualifications.
*
That's it for now. I'm out. Rock and Roll Suicide. Time takes a cigarette...

I like "Why the Long Face" -- I wish I could join your movement, but I doubt my poems qualify -- even though they are quite sincere, nobody ever reads them that way. I fear I'm doomed to the life of a groupie.

T. will listen if you talk.
O lord, now I'm going to have Bowie in my head all week. Thanks.
I once had an argument with Perry Meisel about whether or not Bowie's lyrics could be taught as poetry, and was crushed when I lost. I think he hypnotized me.
I want Laura in the boat.
New Sincerity Movement.
Count me in.
Hey Tony, what about the Envious Nonentity & Destined For Total Oblivion School of Poets, the one to which you & your Attack of the Blog People pals all belong?
Wow!
Someone is really hostile!!! I can't imagine being so empty inside...
xoL
I think Franz Wright left that comment!
-Massey
Wow- a movement barely 24 hours old
and it has detractors before there are any
official members! That's fierce...
Hey -- that sounds like a movement that might have me! Cool.
You should have called, written, something, anything... don't know why I feel sad leaving, and yours one of the faces I will remember. We'll miss you, Tony. -- always, and ever, Homer
Wow. This is weird. Who's Homer?
What's the Attack of the Blog People?
Someone help me.
