Fashion Fashion Fall O9 MAJOR shopping spree. Did NOT go to Nordy's I went to Stein Mart. Got everything you see in the outfit but the boots are taller and the purse is PERFECT and I already had the scarf from Paris. I'll wear it tonight to Back in Black. Oh the belt - the belt hooks together with Pheasant feathers!!!! It is wide like this one. I have gained weight but hubby says I'm just approaching a healthy weight. :) Denim leggings is a GOOD idea.

Ampersand Books invites you to a book signing and launch party for "Dodging Traffic", the new poetry collection by J. Bradley. Meet the author and hear him read selections from his newest publication during this book signing celebration on Saturday November 14, 2009 at 7:00 pm (620 First Ave S - St. Pete, FL 33701). Orlando poet Tod Caviness will also read selected works. Admission is free. Books will be available for purchase.
J. Bradley is the author of the poetry collection, Dodging Traffic (Ampersand Books). His poems have appeared or are forthcoming in PANK Magazine, decomP, Dogzplot, Welter, kill author, The November 3rd Club, Suss among other journals. Some of the places featuring his performance work include Pedestal Magazine, Indiefeed, and Idiolexicon. He founded the Broken Speech Poetry Slam, Orlando’s longest running poetry slam, in January 2001. In 1985, he dabbled in journalism when he interviewed Emmanuel Lewis with a Spider-Man PEZ Dispenser

The Buzz

"J. Bradley is the Veruca Salt of the literary chocolate factory, writing with a satirical brazenness that leaves cavities among the readers eyes. There is a sugary darkness to his work and a lackadaisical charm; that of a black-market dental hygienist. J. delivers new audacity, important romance, and certainty. He acknowledges the sensational ugly without apprehension. His ideas are of an entirely different species and his wit knocks at postmodern... stunned today, laughing tomorrow. Dodging Traffic is the classic, the sequel will forever envy." - Sarah Morgan, author of Animal Ballistics
"Reading J. Bradley's Dodging Traffic is a lot like actually dodging traffic--both are unpredictable, thrilling, surprising. Prepare yourself, because these poems hit hard." - Jason Jordan, Editor-In-Chief decomP Magazine

Tod Caviness

A longtime Orlando resident, Tod Caviness snuck into poetry through the back door of theatre soon after his arrival in town. He is the author of three chapbooks and most of the bathroom graffiti in the greater Orlando area. He currently hosts the long-running Speakeasy spoken word nights at Will's Pub, where he gets a free bar tab to keep poets off the streets. He gets the rest of his beer money as a news assistant and books blogger for the Orlando Sentinel.

From Wired magazine: Sporting a stainless steel mesh suit and a Tesla coil capable of producing 200,000 volts, Austin Richards ('Dr. Megavolt') puts on an electrifying performance at San Francisco's Exploratorium.



All I know is, I want one, and then I'll be ready to fight Spider-Man ...

Z-Burger: Best burger&shakes place in DC, or best burger&shakes place ever???

Who here has not experienced the magic of this? You are a heathen and must get your ass over there immediately. Vegetarians are not exempt, they have a veggie burger too.

Okay, so I went thru the archived post on vets.. And found most of them to be about cats, so I'm posting this since it's about my dog. I appologize if it's not in line, but I could use some solid advice and appriciate the help.

I have a 14 year old dog, whom suddenly isn't doing too great. I'm fairly new to the city and am looking for advice on where I should take him. I live in Friendship/Bloomfield.

I'm not against driving somewhere. I just want a honest vet office, with a staff with good bed side manner. I don't need a cold doctor.. I want someone who will treat him with kindness. (I say this because my last vet wasn't the greatest in this department.. And I'm thinking my guy doesn't have too terribly long left. I just want him to be treated right and get solid advice and help.)

Thanks for your time reading and for answering.

Huh.

I just figured out what the deep thematic structure of Dust is about.

Well, that only took four years.

I feel much better now.

I have just discovered Junior Brown, thanks to Pandora. (I just wish it would stop trying to turn this into the All Allison Krause Channel. SRSLY) I mean, I kind of vaguely knew about his existence, but I didn't know I loved him with a deep and abiding passion. Dude.

I also wrote 2001 words on Grail this afternoon, which is pretty damned good for a girl who spent three and a half hours at the gym this morning.

I also did the stop-in-the-middle-of-a-sentence thing, because, well, I want to write the next bit I have to write, and that will encourage me to get a move on in the morning.

Tomorrow night, on the other hand, I will be here:

batwrangler will be my wingman, because she is awesome, and will drive down with me so I don't die on the way home.

13011 / 100000 words. 13% done!

Mean things today: second-guessing your ancestors, jihads and crusades, fear of alien invasion.

I loved this movie as a kid:



I am so there. Hope it doesn't suck but I don't care!!

Which bank/credit union do you use? Are you satisfied with it?

I have been using Bank of America for a few years, but I am thinking of switching.

The sad thing is, I'm not sure my students are old enough to get the reference.

Restraint bias:

In a series of four experiments, Loran Nordgren from Northwestern University showed that people suffer from a "restraint bias", where they overestimate their ability to control their own impulses. Those who fall prey to this fallacy most strongly are more likely to dive into tempting situations. Smokers, for example, who are trying to quit, are more likely to put themselves in situations if they think they're invulnerable to temptation. As a result, they're more likely to relapse.

The restraint bias stems from the fact that we're generally bad at predicting the future and how we'd feel in circumstances that are different to our current ones.

Related, perhaps, by my inability to judge whether I can take on more work in the future without going completely mental.

I think Glee had two of the most emotional musical numbers with Artie's solo and Kurt singing from Wicked.

Love this show SFM

I wish I had a button for this:
