Tangled Rope

• I've spent two hours working out some rhymes. Now hoping that I didn't waste my times. #
• Not much rhymes with "duologue", and it's still two hours before I can take a skate break. #
• Yes, ABE Books, you /can/ have $55 for 4 1st/1st copies I've had on my list for a year… #
• Early skate break to AF to learn to carve that bowl. #
• Logged another 2 hours on couplet rhymes. Rewrote half of 1st stanza. Still need half of the 3rd. Ignoring the 4th and final. #amwriting #
• I wrestle with meter and rhyme not in hopes of winning the match, but in gaining from the strengths and weaknesses of my opponents. #
• @poetrynews You misled me. in reply to poetrynews #
• Finished a short story that's turned out a bit Chandler-esque. Pure fiction that sounds dangerously like autobiography. #
• Too enamored by the act of literary creation; quite different from the practice of writing. #

• “No satire, violence, hatred, drugs, or whoring— / Transgression must be decorous, and boring.” — J. Salemi, "Respectably Transgressive" #

• Found P Slade's page on British broadsides via @bryanalexander's post on Victorian hoaxes (http://bit.ly/cWtTUo) Love this internet thing… #

• Watched French film "Tell No One" this morning. A pretty good, if generally derivative, modern thriller entry. #
• Great little description of conveniently lost revolver in Greene's "Dream of a Strange Land": "The dark object made a pocket in the snow." #
• That reading Hamlet aloud can still provoke tears is my best testimony to it's enduring power. #

• Taking some inspiration from Peter Gabriel tonight as I revise character traits in Holiday novel: "Be authentic about who you are…" #
• Skated the driveway with cousin David. Lots of tail stalls and nose picks on the curb. One kick-flip = big fail, resprained sprained wrist. #

• @cosmopoetica Which have you seen? Orpheus Cycle is a must (though from center-out). in reply to cosmopoetica #
• @cosmopoetica First 1/2? Did Orphée bore you so terribly? in reply to cosmopoetica #
• @cosmopoetica I'm fond of Orphee beyond reason. Also L'Eternel Retour, and of course La Belle et la ete. in reply to cosmopoetica #
• .@cosmopoetica The Man Who Laughs blew me away. Watch it when you have nothing else to do… #
• @cosmopoetica I'd start the Orphic Trilogy with Orphee, then Sang, etc. in reply to cosmopoetica #
