It's Medication Time
Friday used to be a day where I'd write some new anecdotes and then a bunch of cool folks would gather to joke, add witticisms, talk shit, and wind down from the long week. That hasn't been the case recently due to the following:1. I've been working on a longer piece and I need to focus what little discipline I have left on that. Plus I've had these headaches for nine weeks and you're tired of hearing my reports of imminent death, particularly where I blame the west nile or a piece of uncooked pork I ate three months ago. I'm going to see a specialist Tuesday and in the meantime I've been watching the NBA and popping Ultrams like it's my job (gee sorry for the incoherancy, and mayo i promise i'll email you back this weekend).
2. Gorbie decided he hated us and NT really is missing his humor, sarcasm, and recommendations.
3. I realized that at 31 I didn't want to read any more weekly recaps that began, "you missed kingjulien fighting with ________ (although I see uberdesigner has a new boyfriend and perhaps he's dealing with other issues today. btw, did that guy really use Erik Dickerson's gerrycurl on his profile image or is that just me?)

Anyway, the point of this is that I have a new story over at www.slippymagazine.comIt's called "Exits" and it's an experiment for me. I wrote three separate mini-narratives and tried to link them under the idea of people crossing paths, or coming and going from our lives--the little people whose experiences tend to stick with us unexplainably. I think the story is interesting, funny, disturbing, and strange, but I'd be curious to hear your opinions and criticisms. I was supposed to have this awesome photographer http:www.brianmilo.com do some pictures for the story, but last night at the deadline I got an email from him asking for additional time, and well, at the last minute I had to use a self-portrait from the Harrah's bathroom in Tahoe, just after my ex-gf won two grand.
I also wanted to take a minute to compliment mattyd. The Teddy Brushi and Bono designs on the slippy site are fucking beautiful, and it's clear what a talent and a cool muthafucker he is. I wish, in hindsight, that I had asked him to do a design for my piece. I'm sure it would have been sweet.
Anyway, I hope everybody has a fun and productive weekend.
