Being green on Mars with Bauer

Aug 02, 2006 18:00

"You're still alive, she said." Borrowing from Eddie Vedder. If you know me, you know it's in my DNA to do so. So despite it being five months since I've written here - and said I intended to write every day - I am still kicking around the Puget Sound. Still doing too much Boston Legal stuff. Still ironicaly burnt out on Boston Legal. Still making ( Read more... )

Have you seen this? *g*

Wow. No, I hadn't. Thank you! What's you do, transport yourself two days into the future? This is about the only national press I've seen Spader or Shatner do for the fall season - and you delivered! I've already posted it, with acknowledgment to you, in my BL forum.

Acknowledgment unnecessary but thank you! Someone local who apparently had access to the WashPost weekend slate early sent it to me! I LOVE that the writer compared Crane/Shore and Aubrey/Maturin...

Ha! Inside track suits you. That explains it. I emailed the reporter, praising his finely-honed sentances - and he wrote back asking where I had seen his article, that he didn't think it was going to be published until Sunday. I blamed it on The Cruise Director :^)

LOL -- fine, get me in trouble! I often try to look for Poet's Choice early because I get the Sunday sections delivered Saturday (arts, books, travel, etc.) but can't find it on the web site till it goes live late Saturday night, so I don't know how my contact came across this!

Sadly, you may be going to fourth estate jail, but what a cause. You gave The People an early look and The People are Very Glad.

What is Poet's Choice? Our family used to get the Post when we lived in Silver Spring, MD, but I was more into kick ball than poetry at the time.

Poet's Choice is a column in the Book World that the Post has had for about ten years -- they have prominent poets write about poetry (Rita Dove, Edward Hirsch and Robert Pinsky have written the column in the past several years and they are all excellent critics, but I read it to discover new poets!) When did you live in Silver Spring? We moved out in 1972, when I was 6, and I mostly grew up in Potomac!

Who is your favorite new poet and favorite poet of yonder days?

AMAZING! We might have played kick ball together, except for the fact I was 14 when you were six. I lived there from 1969-1975, pretty much Nixon's tenure. I visited a couple of years ago - downtown sure looks nice with the Discovery building and all.

Pretty icon.

My favorite living poet is Pattiann Rogers (I actually have a tag for poems of hers I've posted, here). Yonder, if I only get to pick one I have to go with Shakespeare...am a big fan though of Donne, Tennyson, most of the Metaphysical poets and Whitman!

Hee, we did overlap in Silver Spring but were probably not running in the same circles! I was in early elementary school during Watergate...I thought "impeach Nixon" meant that people should throw peaches at his limo the way they threw tomatoes at Franco's. *g*

Thank you!
