Odds and Ends ...

Lots going on. So much that it's making me a bit of a shut in, getting things done. And still it feels like there's not enough time ...

*Last night, I LiveBlogged the Grammys as a sort-of "test drive" to get a handle on the software for otherwise legitimate journalistic purposes. Despite some weirdness with linking to the CoverItLive blog, particularly from Livejournal, I'd have to say the experiment was a success. The program's pretty easy to use, and a bunch of folks hung out and snarked with me. All good fun. I'll be digesting the best bits for my column on Thursday.

*Also yesterday, I found out that my poems 'Letter to Louis, Ten Years Later," "On the Outside" and "Toxic Waltz" will be in a forthcoming issue of Chiron Review. I'm beside myself with glee at that one. I've been in Chiron before, but for fiction, not poetry, and besides, it's definitely the right home for those particular poems. It really is one of my favorite journals right now, and being in it again is terribly exciting.

*At the suggestion of my friend, publisher and occasional Foosball nemesis, Derrick Brown, I'll be posting a poem a week from my book, City of Insomnia, on Facebook for the next month.  The first poem, "15 Ways to Leave Your Labyrinth," is up now.

More soon. Gotta go do dishes so I can do more work with a clear conscience. Hope you're having a nice Valentine's Day, and remember, as my friend [info] el3mo   once famously saif, "Saint Valentine was beheaded."
