takes a lot to piss me off, but polaroid has certainly done it. one of the last holdouts for actual film photography, and a kitschy and awesome one at that, those pussies have decided to switch to digital, which i understand, but are also halting the production of polaroid 600 instant film. i know this happened last year, but i have been able to scrounge up some packs until now.

5packs, thats 200 shots, are going on eBay for exactly $305.82

so, home in delaware. i've been here less than 24 hours, for sure have had more than 24 beers, decorated my tree (i'm going to put up pictures of the house it's insanity), gone to a crack house with curran, smoked indoors thank god, watched jack actually fight over led zeppelin vs the beatles (hint: if you're around jack, the answer is always zeppelin), witness pat chug a bottle to the face, nothing unusual there, and have gotten to snuggle up between my two oldest friends. now i'm going to shower, finally, and go back and do it all again. happy 21st carolyn. all our friends are going to be terrible. it is going to be lovely.

these are the songs i'm listening to by the fire

"I am tired of working for candidates who make me think I should be embarrassed to believe what I believe. I'm tired of getting them elected. We all need some therapy, because someone came along and said that liberal means soft on crime. Soft on drugs. Soft on communism. Soft on defense. And we're gonna tax you back to the stone age because people shouldn't have to go to work if they don't want to. And instead of saying, 'Well, excuse me, you right-wing, reactionary xenophobic, homophobic, anti-education, anti-choice, pro-gun, Leave-it-to-Beaver-trip-back-to-the-fifties,' we cowered in the corner and said, 'Please, don't hurt me.' No more. I really don't care who's right, who's wrong. We're both right, we're both wrong."

Eating Poetry by Mark Strand

*for christina

Ink runs from the corners of my mouth.
There is no happiness like mine.
I have been eating poetry.

The librarian does not believe what she sees.
Her eyes are sad
and she walks with her hands in her dress.

The poems are gone.
The light is dim.
The dogs are on the basement stairs and coming up.

Their eyeballs roll,
their blond legs bum like brush.
The poor librarian begins to stamp her feet and weep.

She does not understand.
When I get on my knees and lick her hand,
she screams.

I am a new man.
I snarl at her and bark.
I romp with joy in the bookish dark.

pretty hands do pretty things when pretty times arrive
