Take the Bit Between Your Teeth




	http://mmebovary.livejournal.com/742551.html On my way to class tonight, Phil called and offered me an extra ticket and camping pass to Coachella. And do you know that I actually thought for a second, and even said aloud, "I don't know if I can afford it." And then about .007864 of a second after I hung up the phone I went, WHAT THE FUCK AM I TALKING ABOUT? I'm going to Coachella! More... Published by :mmebovary 2008-03-14 01:52:11.0

	Guess what I'm doing today! http://mmebovary.livejournal.com/741890.html After great pain a formal feeling comes-- The nerves sit ceremonious like tombs; The stiff Heart questions--was it He that bore? And yesterday--or centuries before? The feet, mechanical, go round A wooden way Of ground, or air, or ought, Regardless grown, A quartz contentment, like a stone. This is the hour of lead Remembered if outlived, As freezing person More... Published by :mmebovary 2008-03-13 16:05:50.0

	Would it keep you strong if I said it with a song? http://mmebovary.livejournal.com/741475.html I bought Low's The Great Destroyer on vinyl while we were at Amoeba records in the Haight . Even more than the re-released Tigermilk or the four-volume Decade, I think I like this record best. Evenings, I drink a glass of wine and toss a salad together, the Mavs on mute, listening to Low on rich, lipidy, gorgeously astute velvety vinyl. I think about the surreal Low concert J and I passed through More... Published by :mmebovary 2008-03-13 01:57:28.0

	http://mmebovary.livejournal.com/741168.html Softest of Tongues To many things I've said the word that cheats the lips and leaves them parted (thus: prash-chai which means "good-bye")--to furnished flats, to streets, to milk-white letters melting in the sky; to drab designs that habit seldom sees, to novels interrupted by the din of tunnels, annotated by quick trees, abandoned with a squashed banana skin; to a dim wa More...

	http://mmebovary.livejournal.com/740916.html Visible Woman In the dark museum we see the pump of her heart, brightening with each beat, her pulse big through the speakers. We listen until the seats fill, until the floodlights come on & she speaks, Welcome, this is my body, spinning slowly, her palms upturned My brother builds a wall of airplane glue around his bed, the fumes become dreams as they ha More...

	http://mmebovary.livejournal.com/740757.html The Corrections was as minutely imagined and far-reaching as a Russian novel. The book, I'll grant, dealt in platitudes, and was overly precious, but my friends, my enemies, my stalkers, my disinterested sometimes-readers, it's a novel about the Midwest. A minutely-imagined, farcial sleight-of-hand too good to be missed. So much to love about the Lamberts and so so so much to love about Jonathan Franzen More...

	http://mmebovary.livejournal.com/740056.html 1. Mackerel's growth came back an inflamed fibrosarcoma, which was the pathologist's way of being nice. I'm not gonna say it's a vaccine sarcoma, but. Because the growth was almost over his spine he is not a candidate for amputation. We put him under anesthesia the afternoon we found out and took wider margins around the site, hoping to have gotten every errant cell this time. Now I wait to see if it comes bac More...

	http://mmebovary.livejournal.com/739830.html Unfamiliar What village, abandoned, what farmland, a house you move toward, how will it announce itself? A light dim in the upper window, a baby born open-eyed & full of words? Years pass, look around you. This garden, overgrown. This glass box. There must be somewhere else, but how will you recognize it? Archangels More... Published by :mmebovary 2008-02-11 01:24:53.0
