Friday, August 22Off I go lonely-ly and happily to Penn Station, but first, some words from Jennie, with whom I will be spending the weekend swimming naked:
The year has fallen on its face between the two legs of a prince. I have been a viper in a lake; my wreath is the border of my shield until I am tamed.
[...]
Are you reading Shakespeare? If you laid out all my limbs, blow my whole life in ice, and small deposits of drugs, and tell me that it hurts to be shot, I would still come to you. Pulled nearly to death.
The voices happened like this: It was not quite personal. I deserved better. I was skewered in the heart by a kitchen fork because I was a peripheral character promoted by circumstances to a role I was ill equipped to play. I was a deep draught of wine. I was too busy to be available to early death. Someone newly arrived from a grim impoverished place, deeply puzzled. So you can understand. I am pretty much a fellow creature.
How can I sleep? Where do I put my hand? ⊕
Thursday, August 21Still at Gawker this week, but two things:
1. A few quotes:
"There's a face behind this mask."
"I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the dirt."
Also, as Lil Kim says, "I'm still the same bitch on the escalator."
2. Take a little time and read Looking for Something Stable, one of my favorite pieces of writing in ages. Fucking great. ⊕
Monday, August 18The USS Squirrel has boarded the good ship Gawker. I have raised my skull-and-crossbones, and sent the dear Elizabeth Spiers out the plank to a watery, unliquory temporary grave. AVAST!
Uh... Anyway. My point is: I'm posting at Gawker this week while its lovely editor is otherwise occupied. Join me there, won't you? ⊕
the xml feed is here, and if you really must, you can delve into the past here.
