Today & Other Days

LIT Magazine was a new website & they are accepting submission.



I've been cat-sitting this week. This is Ethan. I've known him for almost a decade. He lived with me in Cobble Hill. He's a nice guy.

From the stolen from Captain S files, I recently discovered Daytrotter which has a ton of music downloads featuring unreleased or alternate tracks. Here's who I downloaded thus far:
Asobi Seksu (who have an acoustic show on Sept. 15 at Joe's Pub)
Bon Iver
Crystal Stilts
Enon
Sunset Rubdown
Times New Viking

Last night I ate corn on the cob and plantain chips. Today my stomach hurts. Not sure if the two are related. I think I want bread. Chinatown, Little Itlay, Soho, Nolita kinda sucks when you want a bagel.

Here comes the sun or so some say

I went to bed around 2 or so, yet woke up at 6:32. I could not fall back to sleep. I watched Battle Star Galactica. I read. I somehow made weak french press & did my dishes. I went to eat yogurt but found out I am out of granola. I thought I just bought granola. I have not eaten. I have not gone back to sleep. I fretted over losing my fourth class, which is the only class I was looking forward to. Spent hours crafting the perfect syllabus & making a packet containing poems by Gingsberg and Reyes, as well as, short stories by Barthelme, Wong & Borges.
