I MISS HAVING PAINT ON MY COMPUTER

So Sara and I are making a chapbook to give to all of our pals and family members and those people that blur that distinction. 6 of my poems, 6 of her recipes. EXCITING.

Today, I made the cover on her computer in Paint. Here it is:


It's gonna be called "JUST WHAT YOU WANTED: POEMS AND RECIPES."

I used to make awful pictures in paint like one time for a chemistry lab cover page, I made a picture of Michael Jordan shooting a head of cabbage into a beaker. I think the assignment was something like that. SWISH

I am reminded now of my friend Kyle's old Paintings.

Does MAC have a similar program?

Life Like Jello

1. School starts tomorrow. Okay. Cool classes on their way: Creative Nonfiction, Book Binding and Manifestos Senior Seminar, Spanish 3 (okay maybe not cool), The Broken Plate Literary Editing, and Experiments in Creative Writing. My head is filled with words and hands with paper.

2. Mary Miller has an awesome story called "Cedars Of Lebanon" up at The Collagist. She talked to me about it here.

3. Kyle Broyles has a nice little blog going, with a nice reminder to Muncie Drivers here.

Friend of the Week: Kyle Broyles

Kyle has a face really, but dude doesn't have facebook (currently). Pictures are super hard this way, and I suck at having photos of my friends tucked neatly into my computer. Kyle also has an apartment, and it is right over there. I'm pointing across the yard. Seriously, I can see his door from my back porch. Watch out! Kyle had a full stomach last night and lots of manners as my wife made delicious chicken enchiladas and peach cobbler. I'm excited for more neighborness. Kyle once had a secret admirer named Sara Habegger. Yes, that's my wife! I'm dealing with that. Somehow they knew each other as children. Kyle and I went to shows together (ITFOW, AWV, etc.) as teens and now we hangout at watch cool movies or see shows at VGR. Kyle has a friend in me.
