WRITTEN AT: Murphy’s Pub and Grill
TYPED AT: University of Illinois Bookstacks, on my
break

No, I would never, ever drink on my lunch hour. The
photo of my lunch, which I shall hopefully remember to
send across tonight, must have been photoshopped to
include that bottle of whatever it is. Or perhaps it
was taken at a different time entirely.
There was a tragically empty ashtray at my table.
It’s been eleven months since I had a cigarette. God,
I really want one right now. I mean, then, when the
picture with the bottle of something was taken, which
wasn’t at lunch today.
Do me a favor, my miniature weasels: I – like Johnny
Five – need you to input data. I wanna know what you
think of this listserv (or LiveJournal, if that’s
where you read it) and the garbage I pipe through it.
Especially if you, too, write, or create art.
I originally intended this to be something that I
would occasionally use as a place for simple writing
exercises, but I’ve ended up putting some good ideas
into it. So give me some input. Go back and read the
three parts of “Receiver” that I posted. Read “Ghost
in a Bottle, pt.1,” or go waaaaaaay back, the one
about the League of Nations assassin, his hit in
Michigan and how everything smells like bacon.
Is “Receiver” on its way to being a two person play?
Would “G.i.a.B,” work well in a comic book format.
Joe recommended novel, something I’ve never tried.
So pile on the L.J. comments, even if I don’t know
who you are. E-mail me through the listserv, or at
moxy@tmbg.org, or on the dead-horse@yahoogroups.com
list.
Help me, Obi-wan, you’re my only hope.
Well, you and Smirnoff Ice. Which I am not drinking
right now.

In the mean time, Jimmy the Spook’s body and
circuitmind are beginning to deteriorate…

I need to send out query letters.
I need constructive criticism.
I need honest praise.
I need a goddamned cigarette.

CURRENT MUSIC: “What’s Going On,” Marvin Gaye, one of
my jukebox selections.
CURRENT BOOKS: still the same, FaLotCTi’72 and TcoT
LAST MOVIE: Vaguely rewatched STRANGE DAYS last night
as I cleaned the upstairs, and started WHEN THE LAST
SWORD IS DRAWN very late at night and fell asleep
partway in…
Remember that picture I mentioned, of me definitely not drinking during lunch? Here it isn't.

Sara says the mustard packets look like origami.

Origamustard.

Heh.

Oh, and I still want input, ladies.

FOOD! WRITING!
