Ron put this up. I thought it was such a beautiful piece that I wanted it here too, so I could access it when I need to for the next couple days. I have a feeling I will watch this at least four times. I like Kate's voice. I also like the narrative poem. It reminds me of railroad tracks that I would walk without knowing if a train would come or not, but walking just the same.

Funny Terrorist Names


Loren sent me an e-mail with the subject line reading, "Terrorist Names." At first, I thought I my name was going to be mistakenly on some watch list. That's how suspicious I am of bureaucracy. Thankfully, it was just a joke bit from SNL. Here it is in full.

Salinger's Death and Unpublished Manuscripts


J. D. Salinger has died. Publishers and Salinger fans are cavorting to see what will happen with his unpublished manuscripts.


Getting Ready to Boogaloo!


Our time in Boulder is almost over. That's why we're trying to get some pictures taken and more living done quickly. Yesterday, we went out to a basketball game at CU with Sean, Mike, and Kelsey. Sohee kept asking questions about the game. It was her first basketball game. It was also her first sporting event in America. For every question she asked, I would simply refer her to Sean.

"Why did that guy blow a whistle?" Sohee asked. "What's happening?"

"One of those boys kissed the other boy too many times," I said.

"What?"

"Sean will explain it."

"Sean, what happened?"


"The guy fouled out out of the game. You are only allowed five fouls and he reached the limit," Sean explained.

"Oh, that's a very easy-to-understand explanation," she said with a slight scowl in my direction.

"I thought they were kissing," I said with a smirk.


Lately, I've been prepping my body and computer equipment for the trip to Korea. I've got Pro Tools loaded on the computer, so the new album should be super-fantastic (you must say this phrase in your mind like you were born in Brussels - "Super-fantastic!"). I also have all the guitars cleaned and ready to go. The only other business before starting on the next record is to update the Sangha Films website and get a meet and greet party going in NYC. Thomas and I have been talking about jello wrestling. I think that'll be the bomb, but we'll probably just do an auction of some paintings and then make a funny video with me in it. That could be as good as jello wrestling.

ARAB PARROT KEEPS ROCKING AT THREE YEARS OLD


Reza is at it again at THE ARAB PARROT. I really dug these vid calls to random strangers. Here's a picture from a couple that he's done, but to get the real experience you'd have to visit the PARROT. The site is now officially three years old.

Jim Behrle Writes a Note about Poetry Domination


Jim Behrle explains how to become the greatest living poet in America. Of course, I don't know why anyone would want to do that. I do like opinions though. I also like handwritten notes. The image above is from his website.
