How was your weekend?
It was good, thank you for asking. I went to yoga on Friday and then grocery shopping. On Saturday morning I tutored, then I went to yoga, then I went down to the mall to protest, then I tutored some more, then I went to the bar and saw my friends, then I went to my friends house. I ate too much pizza. This post sucks.

Sundays
So I switched to a new template and so haven't updated any of my links. They still say "edit me!"
It's Sunday, and so I am nostalgic for things that aren't even gone. I'm nostalgic for the festival of Ganesh and I've never been a festival of Ganesh.
The story of Ganesh involves decapitation, so naturally I think of it every so often.
Let's see if I can find a Ganesh picture. (As you can see, I have found a picture of Ganesh).
Hello Ganesh!
G-d! I don't want to go to sleep, because if I go to sleep that means I have to wake up and go to work and then it will be Monday.
I'm online at PEN Sound!
Hey, there's a recording of me reading in Segue at the Bowery Poetry Club in New York from December 6, 2003 online at PEN Sound. I sound good and young and nervous, and you can hear me clicking my tongue and mumbling to myself in between poems. Mark and I nearly didn't make it up that weekend. It was very very snowy.
Readings, Mice
Last night I read with M. Magnus and Megan McShea in the i.e. poetry series at Red Emma's Bookstore in Baltimore. It was fun. Being from DC (I guess I'm from DC), I like Baltimore and say things like "I'd like to live in Baltimore) everytime I go.
I'd never met Megan before--she gave a lovely reading and interesting and intelligent things to say about experimental music in Baltimore and elsewhere. She has work in Shattered Wig.
I know M and his work from DC, but he read new stuff that I'd never heard, including a hillarious T.S. Elliot spook! You can read some of M's work online in Your Black Eye.
And, ooh, Daniel Higgs of Lungfish was there.
Lester is signing/saying "Salt peanuts salt peanuts" and "Lester's a pretty bird!" in his little raspy robot bird voice--it's very cute!
Being in Baltimore last night, I didn't have the chance to go to an event at Kaplans, but I suspect he should say something about it on his blog, croissant factory.
Also, there is a tiny and brazen mouse in my apartament who is eating Lester's food. Does anyone have any advice about what to do?

I have no brain. I'm here with my bird sitting under my hair on the back of my neck, and I'm a little headachy from my wine. I thought I was going to work tonight but in fact I was supposed to work Wednesday night. Something of a screw up.
Hey y'all, my brother is giving a seminar on "Identification and Estimation of the Efficiency and Equity Effects of Segregation" in mid-November. I like the idea that the effects of segregation can be measured and understood. I don't know if I believe it though, but I like the idea.
There is a mouse that has been crawling into Lester's cage and eating his food. I don't like this.
I have a balcony. Near the balcony are some trees. In the trees there are birds. The birds sing when the sun goes down. This is something I like.
Things my students have mentioned about the United States:
1. Strangers come up to them and make (usually) nice comments about their children.
2. People in the United States like free things.
Some things I learned today teaching ESL:
I almost never use the imparative command form. Rarely do I even bother with some of the stronger modals used to give advice (I suggest..., we ought to..., we must...etc) or make polite requests (would you mind....?). Instead, I use a very meek and polite "Let's..." or "Why don't we...?" I used "shall I..." in a poem once.
In Papua New Guinea there are Sulfer-Crested Cockatoos. I knew one named Surf. He ate our bananas. I should like to go birdwatching in Papua New Guinea someday.
There was a very large bug in my classroom this morning. It was fast and had many legs.
Look at some pictures of Tabubil (ooo, I used the imparative form)! I was there when I was a youngin' and one could (maybe one still can) swim in the rivers--I forget which one we swam in--either the OK Tedi or the OK Minga. But there is STILL no real workable road to Tabubil, more than twenty years later.
If anyone would like to fund my inevitable return trip to Tabubil, send me an email.
