Having grown up in Virginia, and lived a decade in the Carolinas, my body was programmed to expect heat by now. Long before May.

You’d think that I’d be adjusted to Portland weather after nearly eleven years. For the most part, I am. But by May, when it’s still raining every day, and cool, and worst of all: grey, I realize that I am still Southern.

Today it all changes. Today it is already sunny and I’m told it will be warm.

Tomorrow it will be hot. I need the heat and the sun.

I’m proud to not have A/C.

And sometimes proud to be A.C.

And now we know that the THREE can recognize the other Cylons, the Final Five. You do realize that if you unbox the THREE, all will be revealed? Every single IP, I mean — Cylon, will be known. Is Xena your warrior princess, or is she a turncoat THREE? Is she a slutty SIX?

All will be revealed.

K1 gave a reading and did a workshop today for Art Beat.  I was pleased that K2 extended an invitation and that I had nothing to do with it.  Only a few people from the library attended.  That’s the problem of AB — someone has to keep things moving at the college.

K1 appeared in MM’s Intro to Poetry after and held a modified workshop.  It was fun for me too.  There were some great poems in the bunch.  But why did I only recognize a few of the students?  They should come to the library!

More Art Beat this week!

Is there anyone who can explain to me why my IP now shows my ISP as Google in Mountain View?  Seems I’m not the only one.

Maybe someone from Google could tell me.

I’m conducting a test to see if someone is teflon.  Can he endure?  I doubt it.  He gives and I forget.  He doesn’t give and everybody knows, laughs uncomfortably, sits him down, shares the bad news.  You are probably going to destroy yourself.  It’s a sad way to go.  They’ll want you and you out.  And with them out, that means you, you, and you too.  Best wishes on making the right decision.  I wish I had more faith.

Will you listen to the word?

Or will you be a fool?

You say you’re so busy, but is there anyone else in America with your cushy job*? I mean, come on, you visit this site constantly. Don’t whine about no free time.

*How’d you get that job again? Oh yeah. Now I remember.

1. Mock them
2. They fight back
3. Apologize for being dicks
4. Too late

I have more friends than you.  Trust me.
