Concentrate on Snaketown

Interesting book. Begins with the murder. I now (kinda) understand something of throwing a pot. Have to resist actually taking a class. Another derailment. Also, things in Vancouver are not to my liking. I want to go back to Tucson. Not not not happy here. The sky is so grey! Is it a manic episode or is it a real detachment? I do not want to grow old in a place I hate!

PunkinElf Charms

Did you know PunkinElf owns the domain Punkinelf? Did you know that Punkinelf is my name to buy and sell on Ebay? I've listed 10 lots on ebay, lots of charms, Sterling and silver-tone. If anyone actually reads this blog, have a look!

Hallo New Year

Wait. I have to turn off the heat. BRB I have a pumpkin pie in the oven (& Punkin LOVES pumpkin!) and my lil studio apt is prong shaped: one prong kitchen, one prone this desk and the base the rest of the apt. Anyway, it's heating up in here.

I sent my friend Deb in Buffalo a copy of Snaketown, because she's a professor and this is break for her. I sent it, even though I didn't rewrite as I wrote, because I'm stalled and she is honest, and because there's an odd incident in the book, which I've googled and it doesn't seem scientifically possible but seems to me within the realm of probability. To me, a poet. Anyway, a professor of computer science thought it was wonderful.

What's with the Route 66 heart? Don't all Americans love the idea of Route 66, the mythology of the mother lode? I know I'd love to set a novel on the old Route 66, or on the patch of Route 66, in a documentary I once saw (and will now google), contemporary part of the route that had been reclaimed but tumbleweeds and sage brush. Ok, I don't know if either of those plants were there, but they should have been.

Snaketown begins in earnest!

Mysteries featuring potters. The next two are The Cracked Pot and A Fatal Slip.

I have read all of Tony Hillerman, but I will be glad to read them again. The Blessing Way is the first, so I bought the audio. The next on is Dance Hall of the Dead, which I still remember after all these years. Will it make me cry again?



Books about Archaeology. I read this a while ago, but don't mind rereading it for Snaketown

Sing a torch song

dressed to undress, finger zippers
rip seams pallor wrapped, shouldn't
talk shop, match my bite marks
my bites bite for bite. It's a look
pumping me, feigning interest,
check out the competition, eat
my heart, a mushroom, a truffle
grows underfoot, no breakfast
no answer, no interest, where it
failed. Disappear in that direction
old snake eater trick, she asked
about you, do you have the match?
