Haven't updated my journal in a while. All the little silly things in life swell up to exagerrated importance, like work for example. Still plowing along with my ideas for my novel, and the usual distractions of poetry.

Actually poetry is more of a way to keep me sane from all the other distractions.

Still working on "The Other Sacrament" (previous title, "Blessed Sacrament"), which feels fitting since the poem is yet another of my references to Borges, and its previous title is redundant. Besides which, sacrament seems rather specific to Christianity, so it is more fitting this way.

Its going through its fourth manifestation, hopefully it will be finished soon, it's been a bit of a pain lately. I keep thinking how annoying trying to fit a metre to it is, but without any flow I only rely on assonance, and I'm not sure if I have enough of that to make it worthwhile. Hmph. Troublesome toothache of a poem!

Still working at the natural foods co-op, but hoping I'll get some cross-department training and more morning shifts soon.

Living with two male roomates, purely platonic, been friends for a few years now. Lots of musicians about, lots of good music.
