It’s amazing how an hour and a hot bathtub can give you a new perspective. My new perspective is: my fingers and toes are shriveled.

I did indeed send the essay in yesterday. I’ve written about 34 pages so far, though I haven’t yet formulated an ending. I was also somewhat surprised while I was working on Saturday to find that I had about five pages worth of letter to send in.

Now I’m up for some serious po-gossip, but alas, most of the blogs I read were quiet today. Here’s about all I gots:

• Emma has a chapbook coming out. Yay!
• Anne has a chapbook coming out. Yay!
• Deborah Ager is making September 2007 “Memorize-a-Poem-Every-Week Month.” I’m down for that.
• Inch contributor Jeffery Beam has work up at The Dead Mule.
• Courtney Love continues to wow the world with her experimental prose.
• Scientists may have figured out how to levitate. I give it six months before I have me a MODOK chair, people.

I’ve spent the last couple days getting things in order on my sweet new 320 GB hard drive. Turns out, even an USB 2.0 external drive is faster than my old 200 GB internal. I’ve been cleaning up and transferring music from the office drive to home and vice versa, getting ready for a sweet new laptop at work. That’s a lot of new toys, you feel me?
