Best write up of Watch the Throne I've read so far
Seems like a cool writing collective
Been really listening to Jawbreaker a lot and writing some bad poems

An Interview w/ Andy Frazee
I interviewed Andy Frazee who won Subito's book contest last year. He talked to me about Ted Berrigan before I had actually read Ted Berrigan, but now I've read Ted Berrigan.
What if the entire interview had been done in sonnets.

oh this thing
John Brandon (writer of Citrus County and Arkansas) is writing for Grantland. They also had Colson Whitehead writing about poker earlier this summer. Awesome.
I finished my first week of teaching an intro to creative writing class and love it. I found out the "Golden Rule" of teaching: insult then assault.
Does anyone else wish they would have just downloaded Frank Ocean instead of paying cashmoney for Tyler the Creator's Goblin? I mean, my mom paid for that CD. But she could have kept the money. I thought since I couldn't get into his songs (other than Yonkers) that I could just listen to them enough that the uncomfortable feeling would turn into awe (which is how I usually end up liking poetry). Never happened. Oddly, it did happen with Kanye West's album. Though I think the feeling of discomfort was different.
When I play basketball I usually tell whoever is guarding me that I'm really into horticulture. I want to be underestimated so when I start dunking all over that person he/she thinks, "what the hell, I thought he just loved gardening, not dunking." Problems with this: 1)I can't dunk (yet!) and 2) The college kids at the rec center don't know what "horticulture" means (yet?).
I haven't slept yet.

Blog Post
I decided to build a website for the creative writing class I'm teaching in the fall. I drew some pictures and asked K. what she thought. She said "good, as long as you don't want the students to respect you. Looks like Mario mountains."
I thought, "damn."
So I decided to use the images for the robotmelon about and submit pages.
I also put a link to submishmash for robotmelon, which I've had since submishmash existed, I just never used it. It was a secret.
I've been learning a lot about html and css and applied to a few jobs, and they laugh at me because I don't know much about php.
I wonder how much a teacher makes versus a web programmer versus a crack/cocaine dealer.
A bootlegger would have been a cool occupation.
The domain "robotmelon" was chosen by me and another guy because we thought it would be easy to type, since the letters mostly alternate which hand is being used when typing "robotmelon." I don't think many people know that.
