please tell me, if you lived through the late 80s or early 90s, that you listened to erasure. we had an "Erasure Interpretive Dance Party" the other night at Addie's house. you could also call it an early 90s synth pop power party. Feel free to listen while i take you back to my teenage years. i spent that entire day in early 90s mode, listening to such classics as dave matthews band, sheryl crow, and yaz....my own old weird blend of synth pop and jammy-folk-pop-rock. this was my favorite dress in about 1993: royal blue crushed velvet babydoll from contempo casuals. i called it my "magic dress" and felt frisky and powerful any time i wore it. like i was up for anything and the world could never hold me back. i used to wear my make up like this too. you might not be able to tell, but for me it is A LOT of make up: black eyeliner, heavy mascara, eye shadow in a bright hue, white face powder, and of course: brick red dark lipstick: revl...

we gathered at stan and lesley's home for another meeting of our " freewheelin poets' collective ." people read poems that move them, from byron to bukowski to blake. i didn't bring anything; i read from my journal instead, and took notes about the books everyone is currently reading. just for fun, here are some of the titles: Dhalgren , (So howled out for the world to give him a name...) Just Kids , One Day (wanted to live life in such a way that if a photograph were taken at random, it would be a cool photograph), Beans and Bacon from a Gold Pan , Lolita , Colette's Vagabond , ( I dance and dance .) Clan of the Cave Bear , Walk Across America , and the Urantia Book . if you've read any of these and care to comment please do; what did you think? or guess who's reading what, or give recommendations, or tell me what you're reading...this is my favorite kind of conversation, really when you get down to the fact of the matter. ...
