This finally came in. Thought I would share in case anyone else was waiting: http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/20080903_why_we_were_falsely_arrested/ I survived the DNC here in Denver... I stayed home! Heard a few interesting stories, though. -- Te wo Tsunaide '07: A Pair Go Tournament Saturday, December 1st, in Boulder Colorado http://cyberpsychos.netonecom.net/PairGo Also home of the Te wo Tsunaide photo archive!

It'll take a few years, but I want to become a certified Rocky Mountain Gardener. If I work with it, I would like to do freelance gardening consulting. Some people probably saw that one coming for a while. I'll be stuck in classrooms with PEOPLE, but it will be people who want to be stuck outside with plants instead of people. And then it'll pass and I'll be with plants. And of course plenty of class time will be spent with plants anyway. Plants are nice. They're easy to get along with. ;) The next step toward a flourishing preserve for Cnidaria! Well, my yard has been becoming one anyway. I'm actually pretty nervous about this. I hope I do well with the classes. *wringing hands* I do love plants, though, and it's easy to be creative with them. -- Te wo Tsunaide '07: A Pair Go Tournament Saturday, December 1st, in Boulder Colorado http://cyberpsychos.netonecom.net/PairGo Also home of the Te wo Tsunaide photo archive!

Jasmine's going to be a Northern Australia storm. Cyclone Helen was in January. The only other one before Jasmine is Ira. I had a close call with Josephine, it's not my middle name but is the name of the person my middle name was a reference to. When I was told Josephine was turning into a tropical depression I thought "Yeah, that's about where I am right now...". (Reference great-grandma Josie Pearl Sailing and great-great grandma Josephine Liberneck, Liebnecht, Libernecht... ugh... both that and Sailing were German names with 500 spellings, so take your pick... I finally found out when I was at Grandma's funeral last Spring that Sailing became the name of choice when it arrived misspelled on a tax form. I guess 'those were days', when you could say "Yeah, I'll stick with that misspelling, it looks good". Anyway, I hadn't even known where my middle name came from until Hurricane Josephine made its depressed little attempt at forming. This was pretty neat for me.) *spent a few hours stuck with the border police due to liking my rare and unusual last name over the Summer* *amused to finally know it's a rare and unusual last name because the US government couldn't spell German names properly* -- Te wo Tsunaide '07: A Pair Go Tournament Saturday, December 1st, in Boulder Colorado http://cyberpsychos.netonecom.net/PairGo Also home of the Te wo Tsunaide photo archive!

Except I suppose I was a warped anti-social child living in the mountains, and the only place I felt any real solace was sitting out amongst the trees and rocks. I loved the silence of the vacuum. Then everything turned into condos and I finished going insane. Maybe I live in the city now because I don't want to keep watching everything else disappear. Here, it's already all gone. ={ But I can try to surround myself with plants as much as possible... I still feel a lot more peaceful when it's just me and the plants. I always liked the look of plants over-growing sidewalks, and coming out through the cracks. It's a reassuring reminder that all of this can be buried and forgotten when people are gone. Over the Summer we took a roadtrip to Canada, and it was nice to see that there are still largely uninhabited places out there. > Good luck! > Thanks!

That story which happens to have a character named Jasmine who can't seem to keep her cigarette lit? It sold recently to an anthology called Horror Library Vol 3 from Cutting Block Press, and is supposed to come out this fall! (The story is called "Fish Bait" and includes homages to a couple of CPAOD characters :-) Also, my novel COVENANT (www.amazon.com/gp/product/0843960183) finally came out a couple weeks ago in paperback from Leisure Books, so to prep for it, over the summer I redesigned www.johneverson.com and started a regular monthly e-newsletter outside of the cobbled thing I used to do via Yahoo Groups (to sign up, go to www.johneverson.com/list.htm) I'm doing a couple dozen signings, readings, etc. to promote COVENANT, all around Chicago as well as in St. Louis, Indianapolis, Cincinnatti and near Milwaukee... If there's anyone in the midwest on the list - check out the dates here, and come on out: http://www.johneverson.com/wordplay/?page_id=7 Still a CPAOD voice in the wilderness...

Gordon just left my house after watching Monster with me all day (got a phlebotomy this morning, good day to be useless). (Monster: not to be confused with Hairy Monsters.) Congrats on getting it published. => Can't remember not being able to keep my cigarette lit (it'll probably come to me), though I remember plenty of drunk moments of not knowing how to light cigarettes over the years. -- Te wo Tsunaide '07: A Pair Go Tournament Saturday, December 1st, in Boulder Colorado http://cyberpsychos.netonecom.net/PairGo Also home of the Te wo Tsunaide photo archive!

Jasmine: "Should drop some acid down there or something." Silence. Jasmine: "Oh... That didn't come out right. I meant we should put something corrosive in there." Bruce was pretty much just looking at me funny. As usual. ;) I suppose this must be a Freudian Slip for someone who liked acid more than sex. Honestly, I swear my thoughts were wholesomely violent -- picturing corrosive acids dissolving everything and wondering what would eat the pipes along with the gunk.
