haven't watched the 2nd half of pistons - lakers since Joseph & Carmen Thomas (well, I've completely forgotten her real surname) and Richard Flynn came over last night for some really wonderful conversation -- ended early (Carmen teaches middle school language arts) on a joke about a cruise ship ventriloquist having the dummy read poetry -- a spicier poetry reading -- "Aspodel that greeny flower" -- in a Charlie McCarthy voice

I haven't posted digital pics of Joseph's reading with CSUN students yet -- it was an exciting simultaneous reading -- four readers -- reading everyone's poems (except Joseph carefully rigged it so he's read fewer poems) (I expect the Nosferatu into binary poem was his, though!)

he'll be reading at Dawson's with Kenneth Goldsmith and Ian Monk

(wish I was reading with them when they're in LA!)

will be watching THAT LORD STANLEY'S CUP THING tonight -- go flames! oh, canada!
