links, the daily poem, the usual

fox wants to remake the rocky horror picture show as a tv movie. sorry, i meant a "taped event special". (isn't an "event" special by definition?) i think i speak for if not everyone, then at least most people when i say WHY, GOD? WHY? and also, WTF.

just... what the hell.

deeply dogtacular confessions - like, someone apparently gave their dogs middle names so they'd have something to yell when the dogs are in trouble.

have a bunch of graphs and charts and observations about baby naming trends. well, baby naming trends in the us, anyway.

avengers in the wild! by which i mean, doritos at the cvs down the street.



you may note that a. natasha is JACKED, b. thor is spicy, and c. there's no dorito boy on any of the doritos. (steve is cool ranch.) but still. i have now seen them out in the world.

look at that sky.



and today's poem:

The dog of time pitchfork canter laced with mercury after-crave
any semblance to human is speculative, we’ve unburdened the
mass, the massive body signage, bondage, turf implant
unwiring programs and last resort paradigms
indicated by the spikes in goneness unknowable
flash how it feels to be a terminator
to be livestock replenished
caretaking around the pain
dogs of the animal in motion in deliberation
carrying on over cloud cover
as the twilight descends the animal is secreted
ocean compression and endless body spills
the edges are dissolved
animal highlight
animal awareness
animal forever
the light is diminished
water spills over and the heat is a harbinger
and who is subject to this authority
rescue and an epistemological critique
and cross a proscribed threshold where the forest once was
now an emergency living space

--"The Dog of Time", Brenda Iijima

wtf, doggie love, baby names, april is poetry month, i love where i live, avengers assemble
