@damiengwalter<\/a> so you made it back to that island all right? i suggest going to a pub and reporting live on all exciting happenings. in reply to damiengwalter<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
RT @Templesmith: “Anthropologist Levi-Strauss dead at 100” http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/yjosy38<\/a> Check out … his research … on civilization+belief. #<\/a><\/li>\n
Maybe i should start a movement called neopunkcore. Followed immediately by post neopunkcore & retro neopunkcore. #<\/a><\/li>\n
@mynameis_shoe<\/a> it’s true. but nobody respects the old guard when the new kids are turning out fresh materials. in reply to mynameis_shoe<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
on the other hand, maybe i’ll start a movement called dash-suffix and envelop the entire movement of starting movements. #<\/a><\/li>\n
@smoonen<\/a> now that’s just silly. antidis is so last season. in reply to smoonen<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
and here i was thinking that “birther” meant that you were a fan of being born. #<\/a><\/li>\n
Got my accordion back from marsh woodwinds. They did a wonderful job. It sounds fantastic! #<\/a><\/li>\n
Band practice fin. #<\/a><\/li>\n
@Keffy<\/a> ante-post-retro-neopunkcore. this thing is moving like wildfire. in reply to Keffy<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n

In a bowl in the kitchen at my work, we have candy cigarettes. really, candy suppliers? IS THIS THE BEHAVIOUR WE WANT TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN? #<\/a><\/li>\n
point of interest: on this candy cigarette box, which holds 2 candy cigarettes, spiderman is crouching over the words “b\u00c3\u00a2tonnets de bonbon.” #<\/a><\/li>\n
@mkazoo<\/a> it has three treble switches and two bass switches, which means a wider tonal range than the other. but enough. what about dance? in reply to mkazoo<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n

@documentingme<\/a> a fair summary conclusion of our conversation tonight. in reply to documentingme<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
pre-clarion, i wrote most of a can-i-go-the-distance novel i was calling #gunstreetnovelt<\/a>hon. but a fragment of a novel isn’t a novel, so. #<\/a><\/li>\n
so tonight i finish #gunstreetnovelt<\/a>hon. i’m about two scenes from the end. onward. #writing<\/a> #finally<\/a> #futilesalve<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@lizargall<\/a> this novel is the literary equivalent of sitting on the can when one has bilious guts: comforting, but not something one shares. in reply to lizargall<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
breaking out the big guns: listening to tom waits’s alice while i write. this album is a focusing lens for all the sorrow i have experienced #<\/a><\/li>\n
