Never underestimate the restorative power of getting together with good friends. I swear, I feel more like a human being today than I have in weeks! The girls, besides workshopping poems, also threw me a little suprise birthday party, complete with fancy chocolate cake and presents. Very sweet. Also Kelli brought fortune cookies and we all read our fortunes, and mine said: “You will solve difficult problems.” So thanks Kelli, Annette, Jenifer, Janet, Ronda: You guys reminded me that life is more than packing and problems.
Today, my review of Ivy Alvarez’ Mortal and a new review of Becoming the Villainess up at the new issue of Galatea Resurrects. God bless outlets for poetry reviews.
Boxes surround, and I am planning the layout of my new home office. Comcast’s cable has been acting up, and I’m hoping to catch the last episode of Heroes – because we can’t record it with the current conditions, and the cable’s been blanking out at various random intervals. Like me, Comcast apparently stops working when I get stressed out.
C. Dale Young will be in town to read at Open Books, the world’s best poetry-only bookstore, tomorrow night. I’m hoping to make it – you should too!
