I finished my Weird West story. It's 5K too long. I am AWESOME! Head desk.
At least I'm not alone in this.

It was good news because the rest of the day was pretty fucking annoying and then I came home and learned someone I've known since my Elfquest fan days has lung cancer so I'm rather bummed out about that.

Tomorrow I have to have a needle put directly inside my hip joint to put the medicine in. I'm betting this will be a barrel full of monkeys.

The BBC makes a bit of a boner when reporting on the large Hadron collider.

I'm not sure I knew Margaret AtwoodMore and More

More and more frequently the edges
of me dissolve and I become
a wish to assimilate the world, including
you, if possible through the skin
like a cool plant's tricks with oxygen
and live by a harmless green burning.

I would not consume
you or ever
finish, you would still be there
surrounding me, complete
as the air.

Unfortunately I don't have leaves.

Instead I have eyes
and teeth and other non-green
things which rule out osmosis.

So be careful, I mean it,
I give you fair warning:

This kind of hunger draws
everything into its own
space; nor can we
talk it all over, have a calm
rational discussion.

There is no reason for this, only
a starved dog's logic about bones.
