California #<\/a><\/li>\n
Lamest border inspection ever. “do you have any fruit?” “um– no?” “ok, move along.” #<\/a><\/li>\n
Safely arrived in san diego. #<\/a><\/li>\n
O excellent day. #<\/a><\/li>\n
Swam in the pacific this morning. Oh yes. Climate is perfect here. #<\/a><\/li>\n
Should probably find some wireless and check everything. I’ve enjoyed living off the grid, but now is time to return. #<\/a><\/li>\n
Reading pynchon’s “the crying of lot 49.” #<\/a><\/li>\n
@schy<\/a> congratulations! she’s beautiful. (other news: swam in the pacific as soon as we were able. cold & excellent. san diego is fantastic.) #<\/a><\/li>\n
@jodikatherine<\/a> thanks! it’s pretty great out here. all the lads are flying safely home, had an enjoyable trip, etc. how’s moving? in reply to jodikatherine<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@hmapple<\/a> sad. hope you’re all enjoying yourselves anyway. in reply to hmapple<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@vyemoran<\/a> no worries. definitely worth calling for. hope you’re all well. in reply to vyemoran<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@rsdevin<\/a> i’m attending #clarion. took a cross country road trip from north carolina with some friends and got to san diego a few days early. in reply to rsdevin<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@elleeffect<\/a> such a wonderful trip, and there’s more to come. let me know what you’re up to, how your intensive is going, etc. in reply to elleeffect<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@ken_schneyer<\/a> glad you enjoyed the travelogue. can’t wait to meet you all & get started… in reply to ken_schneyer<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@bcb212<\/a> we were driving, as they say, very fast indeed. san diego is gorgeous. hope you’re all well. in reply to bcb212<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@mynameis_shoe<\/a> the drive was fantastic. next time, though, i might fly to colorado and start from there. in reply to mynameis_shoe<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@apopa<\/a> i suppose all i can say is: aww. now i’m going outside to walk in the park in 65 degree, slightly overcast san diego. in reply to apopa<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@rquat<\/a> guess what i neglected to buy before this trip? a camera. in reply to rquat<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
my glasses shipped! only sad part: they shipped to nc. glasses #fail. #<\/a><\/li>\n
In the ucsd special collections reading room, looking at a full box of stories from #clarion<\/a> 1969. #<\/a><\/li>\n
There’s a sury here entitled “selective service, 1999”. Reminded of team building exercise 99. #<\/a><\/li>\n
Reading octavia butler’s “crossover” from #clarion<\/a> 1970. Complete with scratched out bits and revisions between the lines. #<\/a><\/li>\n
i have no idea what hour it is. regardless: “the crying of lot 49” with “america’s got talent” in the background makes for a surreal evening #<\/a><\/li>\n
finally got wifi at the library. geisel is a pretty sweet library: http:\/\/bit.ly\/5rPeY<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
and the first thing i read after getting access: farah fawcett is dead. #<\/a><\/li>\n
@tofermoran<\/a> pretty well. i need to read him when i’m less tired, though. and he will require rereading, for sure. in reply to tofermoran<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
feels weird to check my email at discrete points, rather than having it open all the time. #<\/a><\/li>\n
today’s reading: selected #clarion<\/a> archive stories from: chiang, @doctorow, @jeffvandermeer, @nalohopkinson, crais, robinson, et al. #<\/a><\/li>\n
@rsdevin<\/a> it’s really interesting: some of these stories aren’t very good, but their writers grew into giants. so strange, and encouraging. in reply to rsdevin<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@ken_schneyer<\/a> yup. the special collections room. box after box after box… it’s pretty cool. give them 2 days notice to collect materials. in reply to ken_schneyer<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
so michael jackson is dead now, too? #<\/a><\/li>\n
clothed owls? probably: http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bibliodyssey\/3652426981\/sizes\/o\/<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
finished pynchon’s “the crying of lot 49” last night. quite good, though i’ll need to reread it to enjoy it properly. #<\/a><\/li>\n
marshmallows are the mushrooms of the candy world. #<\/a><\/li>\n
@mynameis_shoe<\/a> it is good not to be alone. in reply to mynameis_shoe<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
Reading ezra pound’s “abc of reading.” recommended by samuel r delany. #<\/a><\/li>\n
http:\/\/twitpic.com\/8hu4g<\/a> – #<\/a><\/li>\n
“Music rots when it gets too far from the dance. Poetry atrophies when it gets too far from music.” — ezra pound #<\/a><\/li>\n
reading paul park’s “a princess of roumania” & it rocks the party. #<\/a><\/li>\n
Enjoyed park’s “a princess of roumania.” reminded me of pullman; definitely sets up the series. #<\/a><\/li>\n
last half of pound’s “abc of reading” starts with chaucer and goes on; gives examples of why each writer is worthwhile. need to learn greek. #<\/a><\/li>\n
RT @fantasymagazine<\/a> Lowell Francis talks about #wuxia<\/a> #novels<\/a> and #Chinese<\/a> sword and #sorcery<\/a> novels for #Fantasy<\/a> – http:\/\/bit.ly\/aWFGp<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
now it begins. #clarion<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
Checked in. Our apartment is larger than i thought it would be. Finally got online. #<\/a><\/li>\n
@bcb212<\/a> ended up staying with a friend of a friend, actually. pretty cool. in reply to bcb212<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@themattlondon<\/a> seconded. so rad. and it’s only just begun. in reply to themattlondon<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
