thanks chef sean

the kitshickers' own chef sean left for china last summer, and he runs the show at attica shanghai, which is a szechuan spicy show indeed. he smuggled this out of commie china for me, it's smoking hot mao waving.

betsy gave me a painting

the coolest thing about GLOK modelfest may have been the painting betsy gave me that she made & i've been pining after since i saw it 2 years ago & fits right there and matched the duct tape & scissors

dukie bingo

a game played at carolina by mcbabe wester & i & a few others mainly during an election law class taught by a wonderful professor whose voice reminded me too much of pat (it's time for androgyny - here comes pat!) from saturday night live to ever focus on what she was saying.

you make a bingo square (tic-tac-toe with a square around it), put the nicknames of fellow classmates who went to duke undergrad in each box, FREE in the middle. wait for them to raise their hands to ask/answer questions, cross off their nicknames X out their box and try to get 3 across, up down or diagonal - first one to do so says in street voice "BINGO" as the dukie is spouting and his or her box is x'ed and they win.

as i recall, i was the only winner and i won twice in 2 different classes and said bingo in my normal voice. many classes ended with nobody getting 3 across. sometimes it came down to the last box and so many dukies would have their hands up, a sea of dukie hands to choose, it was exciting.
it really made endless tuesday thursday classes okay.

the skies are not cloudy all day

only getting better

a day that starts with 'collecting' urine & fecal samples for your dog has nowhere to go but up

take that 80s

peace haiku 30-36

respite from the clock
released from the pressure of
time for a second

mind races finding
new categories spaces
then snacks interfere

evergreen ever
moist ever fresh every day
a garden to tend

how do we know it's
not lightning hitting ocean
creating cells life

sometimes dancing by
himself was the best way to
know he was alive

it's hard to work hard
on a tropical island
don't blame the natives

good stuff on sale &
cute boys from different schools on
good days at the mall

fire across the street last night

the house across the street is burning & it's surreal



fire trucks are there, doesn't seem to be any real danger, they're letting people get up close, just a lot of smoke

that's how close it is - the white part is my door
