I lie. We don't have parks with benches around here.

I'm so tired. I don't think I am going to make it out. I can barely walk across the house, let alone across town. I decided to content myself with changing the sheets on my bed. Guess who moved the sheets without telling me? sigh. it's just so... I might as well live in a hostel for how often my belongings travel from where I left them.

Why do so many mundane things make it into these pages but when I have a genuinely dazzling thought I'm not in a position where it can be written down? That happened a lot yesterday. I look around at things I've collected over the years and I wonder where my poetic imagination ran away to. I used to be a metaphorical minx but now I am afraid I am more literal.

Oh, earlier I went to Jeanette Winterson's page. It's good, her textual commentary is interesting, and it reminds me how I have a lot of her books which I haven't read yet (Boating for Beginners, The.PowerBook, most of Art and Lies and GUT Symmetries, a bit of World and Other Places). She's also put up some recent interviews - ones which weren't even entirely flattering. She's someone I think I'd very much like to know; a friend of mine has met her (in a professional capacity) and said that she was not at all the mad bitch she is often portrayed to be. Worth the trip.

oooh

yeah, the page is new! she had to sue someone in the UK who registered her name as a domain to get it back, and I think it's only been up for a few months. definitely check it out.

I've only read Sexing the Cherry, but I've been wanting to read some of her other work, too. Thanks for the link.
