What is great? (Some examples.)
2) Great job on your presentation, Woodrow!
3) Aw man, this goulash is great! You gotta try it, Eleanor!
4) Oh, be sure to watch the bonus materials; they got some great outtakes!
5) Great Scot, is that the reanimated corpse of Richard Nixon, come to eat our brains?!
6) Say, I've got a great idea for a new invention, but who will help me fund it?!
7) Mmm...this sliced bread is the greatest thing since...OH MY GOD. IT'S THE GREATEST THING EVER.
These are just a few examples.

Heads up to David Orr
Dave. Dude. Relax. It's gonna be OK. Greatness? I got your greatness right here. Suck on this greatness. Say hello to my little greatness. No, scratch that—say hello to Noelle Kocot's new book, coming out on 1 April. I saw her read tonight. I'm sorry you weren't there too. If you had been, I'm sure you would at this moment be hastily typing up a renunciation of your silly article from the other day.Wednesday, February 25, 2009
I have finished reading Sorry, Tree, by Eileen Myles

People talking about risk
"Risk: a game of world domination being played by two guys who can barely control their own lives." —Seinfeld
The excellentness or excellenthood of the screen door
Was not lost on the way to picking up
A head of lettuce, a shy beet, the usual
Customs observed while in debt to honorary doctorates
I've held my own hand slightly
Without bothering anyone too much in the dark
Of the allegory, where chimps are observed to have
Been singing the national anthem, or a national anthem
Until it was over I never looked away
And people came up to ask where I was
And in doing so found themselves if mostly by accident
Later we hung out, we always do this time of year
Their company is overrated but is all I have
Their daughters leave nothing to be desired
Except for real social change
Of which I'm a lifelong contributor

*He doesn't write every day.
*When reading a book of poems, he tends to skip around rather than read it front to back.
*On whether poetry would be helped by a wider audience: "It's sort of like people are alarmed that more people go to rock concerts than go to chamber music performances, but the people who go to both enjoy what they're doing. Does it really matter how many of them there are? I suppose it would be alarming if there were only a dozen or so people who read poetry. But as I'm sure you know there are many more than is dreamed of in the mass media..."
*On political poetry: "It's got to function as poetry. It's got to satisfy the particular hunger that poetry and only poetry can supply, that kind of satisfying meal, as it were. There are certain overtly political poets who do have that capability and it's hard to know exactly why. I've always quite liked Charles Bukowski's poetry, for example, and in fact I even once gave it a prize. I was asked to choose the best poem in an issue of New York Quarterly, and, having read all the poems, I said, well, this is really the best one. It does what it sets out to do, it is what it is without pretension of any kind."
*Even though his work isn't informed by literary theory, he thinks that "if readers who are into theory find it offers a way into my poetry, I think any way in should be taken, probably. It's not that I'm putting theoretical concerns down, they just aren't mine. I guess because I'm writing poetry instead."

Like, at least 60 or 70 things about me
I stole this idea from Jessica Smith. Thank you Jessica. The contents of my backpack as of 11pm on 2.18.09. I'm not sure how many items there are. Depends on if you count each stray staple separately. If anyone wants to challenge me, you can put up your own picture, and if you have more items in your bag than I have in mine, then you can brag to people that you have more items in your bag than I have in mine.

The "yule log" of hi-fi
The music is reversible, but time is not. Turn back, turn back...
So basically what happened was I was listening to Bookworm the other day and heard about this band I've never heard about before, not one word, not even a Family Guy reference, in my 27 years. After listening to some of their songs online I've been thinking, What a curious choice for one's all-time favorite band. But that's cool. In other news, I learned in a Believer interview I read yesterday that Ashbery digs Bukowski. He didn't say digs, but that was the gist. But anyway how did Sparks escape my detection all these years? I had no idea such a huge gap in my pop culture awareness existed. I'd've thought I'd've heard of anything that's ever been on VHfreaking1 forcryingoutloud. I'm not really upset, I'm just coffee.
Um, I hope you plan on clicking 'play' on the above video, if you haven't already.
You did, right? ... Don't read this blog again until you have. Thank you. Listen to it a couple times so that you won't be able to get it out of your head all day.

I mean, I don't want to miss out on miracles just because I didn't ask.
I worship far too often at the altar of consumerism.
I have too much stuff + yet I want more stuff.
I read about these nifty Start Here™ notebooks on Bloesem.
I eat too much. I drink too much. I want too much. Too much! Yeah. I guess so.
Why not? Yeah. Huuuuuh. Too much? Nahhhh. Maybe I want too much...
but I am confused about choosing an external hard drive. The situation is this...
I just received my new iMac and my niece's suitors
want to know too much too soon. "Religion poisons everything", screeched the atheists.
Indian companies want too much software control.
I want too much house music.
Is it too much to want my e-b/f to show up with a red bow
for my birthday and Valentine's Day? I think not.
Is it too much to demand a common mondegreen?
Sometimes, the most agonizing part of love
is realizing that I cannot limit what I put in the tank.
How much is too much to want?
If you want enough that it regularly makes you or your partner raw or sore
in a way that you find unpleasant,
that is too much to want.
How do you say
I ate too much and I want to go home
in different languages?

Drinking on an embassy roof
With the ambassador's wife
I tried to enjoy the best blues drummer
I've ever seen perform
The British expatriate
Dicky Jaws, ambassadorial esthete
The cold-blooded envoy
Went out of his senses
As I took stock of the world of sex
The starving children delighted the novelist
Tonight the farewell banquet
Generally regarded as perverse
Seeps into rivers
And there is a form to sign

The Third Reich sucked pretty hard.
The first two were classics though.
The Third Reich sucked balls.
I never realized how much the Third Reich sucked
as compared to the other two.
The Third Reich SUCKED!!
I swear to god
The Third Reich sucked.
I know many of you may not agree with my opinion
but the truth of the matter is
Cheech and Chong
is better than the Third Reich.
I think the Third Reich sucked balls.
The violence was excessive and gratuitous.
The Third Reich sucked, and you all know it.
The First Reich was great, the Second Reich was almost great,
the Third Reich sucked.
The Third Reich sucked like hell.

Tuesday evening
I watched the laundry spin
And spin and
I said to myself
"If you think about
Fabrics for too long
You may begin to
Think you are one
And you are but
Only in the sense
Of your being what
Your clothing makes you
Appear to be in
The eyes of other
People. They see you
As fabric, or more likely
Fabrics, plural, but you have
Them beat because you are fabric, and
Not in the figurative sense I just described. I
Was lying. Gotcha! You are literally denim. Hahahahaha!"
I have not yet fully recovered from this incident.

I have been drafted
Get your clickeration on right here.
UPDATE: The bio they wrote for me says I'm a self-confessed recluse. I don't know why it says this. I'm neither a recluse nor self-confessed.
FURTHER UPDATE: Ok, some very weird things are going on with that bio, and I'm not sure what the deal is, so just disregard anything you might read there.

I have finished reading Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, by Tao Lin
Lately I find myself becoming detached from the world
2/14/09. Pitchers and catchers.

I rolled my eyes
To help identify wildlife
Involved in a three-way
With my friends—people
Who seemed almost morally
Opposed to my extension
Of walking to ice-skating
Their minds are not equipped for
My self-inflicted horizon
I never read the books
The Queen gives me
Permission to say that
I have other things to occupy my attention
