i am keeping an 'update' window open throughout my day of grad school homework, burlesque poetess buis-nesss, ftp muckery, (mockery? halp! i am a phony internet guru of xhtml xxx stylings!) learning 'soul love' on the ukicorn... last night kev jammed on his 3 string cigtar with me, so i officially can move on from 'five years' now that it 'plays well with others' fait accompli! i am plotting the resurrection of my secret fantasy pipe dream all girl bowie cover band, "rainb0wie" named after my ollld screename! (you don't want to know how much time i just wasted looking for a photo i know i have somewhere of bowie in a rainbow-print jumpsuit from the pre-aladdin days) in the process of playing on my 03 dell laptopdinosaur i unearthed all these photos from 04 dresden dolls shows. aww.
my 10 day creative writing MFA residency begins this friday eve. let the BYOB mentor conferences commence! oh yeah, drunken poet laureate cohorts! damm it feels good to be a grad-ster. ok, shutting up. i just finished hand-numbering my current pursejournal composition notebook. i'm on page 77. i've been writing in it since may 13th? this is a wonder for me. normal-sized paper i float in the middle of the wide-ruled lines. it makes me feel like i'm weaning off of my psycho killer handwriting...just a bit. behold meta journalling. analog atop tumble log.
i'm also working backwards in it, in the back of the journal going in reverse one can find: driving directions, uke chord charts, army of toys songs (i think i'm the first person to tab these for uke, haha) and poem request-lists from VT and the super!secret amanda palmer twatter concert from this past sunday, june 14th. very exciting opportunity little me could not have imagined would happen, considering i started this burlesque mess only in nov07. gosh. the power of twitter? 48 hours after the concert my twitter (cult) following # had equal'd & surpassed my myspace of a year+. yeah go team interweb networking! here i am being awkward pretending i could hide my nakedness behind my tenor uke if need be (to twitpic? tee)

me and new pocket moustache friend.
wholesome balladeering from afplj.
it was a great show. surreal. loving. lovely. old friends from times long ago (LJ and jewniversity-- because the world is the size of a mousehole) had won the twitter contest to attend! so i got to reunite with lilithchilde & inkahootz quite delightfully/unexpectedly! and many i -did- know had won the contest too. it was a big love-in. and in addition to the magic of its unique/high profile-ness is the still-retained-glow from new friends/fans made, gifts... i get the sweetest gifts from people who see me perform, gosh. raver candy from @sinxkitten (here seen w/ her magic giving AP a crochet squid!) i also got pictures (i am waiting to see) drawings! post war trade bling to be rocked. i will post. i got to spend some time with bethofalltrades and kayla, the cosmonomad at the show. and i got to give beth one of my giant flavour flavictorienne key blings for her collection. key spam pictures now.

monday started with espresso at miss Mali Sastri's abode, and then a cloud club building hop skip and a jump over to bestow entertainment/keys/silly with the barely legals. AP wandered in with Neil Gaiman (her beau, don'tchaknow) on speakerphone. he was sweet and awkward and british. there def' was a hot girl work party i too was only a guest/privy to that day! definitely worth saying hi to! annnd i got to hear one of kayla/cosmonomad's original uke tunes, too. i feel very lucky. her Applause instrument is very covetable.
we were such a big band and bunny army of wonder sunday, gosh. there are lots of upcoming shows that i'll be uking AND hopefully poeti-comedically yakking it up at. i seem to accidentally be in a band w/ my best friends, folks! wot! and yes, as you may have heard, there are to be poems for everyone! yes, i'm a crazy person. and i am "taking muse requests" from folks at random occasions. i put them up at (>> http://poetesss.tumblr.com) once completed, and have plots for the visual/physical versions i'll make available in original/duplicate form for reasonable prices. eventually leading up into a 2.0 niblet/zine volume of "other people's love poems." and on that topic, "fall in love with strangers: other people's love poems" the first will be made available very soon for my grad residency independent study fair "what I.S. possible?" mid-day cocktail party meets 7th grade science fair poster session meets random carnival antics!
i drew Shakeshaft the contortionist. (mo' Polish cirk poster ripoffs) he does look Mona Lisa serene, which i'm cool with. look at those shapeley Elizabethean ballerina legs!
i bought a .com for my vaudeville/verse internet empire and am failing spectacularly at taming nvu/kompozer or making my dubiously received copy of dreamweaver behave/install. i need a patient mac-xhtml tutor in the area to be nice to me while i try and get this interweb mess sorted out. i'm going to put up an upcoming toys avec tag-along moi calendar at the bottom of this. oh, august 1st kevbeau et moi move to our opium den treehouse dream apt new nook not-too-far from us now, slumberville. and the toys and i will be drunk stumbling-out-of-the-ravine distance from one another! we are going to be adopting the lovely Lola kitten (soon Alma Mahler! muahah! mauler!) that Katrina Galore is foster mommying into a bosom-napping clever witchy cat. i went to visit her last week and she nested in my maryjanes, wouldn't let me leave. she has pretty green eyes and is a grey tabby tux'd creature that looks like a Burton skeleton drawing from behind.
i'm a happy/exhausted/soon to not exist camper. i will probably only be on twatter if that during my 10 day (and last one before my graduating semester!) residency the 19th through the 27th. i wanted to give you an epic blog before then!
wee calendar!
june 24th: 1030pm (most likely) i'll be joining Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys on WMFO.org 91.5 FM's "on the town" playing musics this time!
june 27th: 8pm, saturdee, the last day of my residency - Army of Toys at middle east upstairs. last time i joined them on stage i was a bunny and kama ended up face first in my lap ;) this time! different! i believe 18+ and avec Garvy J, Fluttreffect, and Mascara.
ok be well, talk soon, merch news en route, and i'll see you on twatter! xojojo, your @poetesss
