WARNING: Numbered Items

1.) Health Care reform is confusing.

2.) I shaved my head. I was going to shave it to an inch, but I used the wrong attachment by mistake so now it's 3/8 of an inch.




3.) I am reading A Thing Among Things, a book by John Yau on Jasper Johns. This is my favorite nonpoetry thing I've read recently. Here is a good section:

"Formally speaking, Johns distinguishes himself with the modern ocular tradition- the manifestation of formalism dating back to Cubism, which in its earliest stages was a vehicle for speculation upon the existence of the fourth dimension. He focuses on what it means to live in time, rather than on the possibility of transcending our material state."

$.) I finished a second manuscript of poetry and titled it Ben Mirov. I was like "What the fuck, really? Who names their manuscript their own name?" But that is what it's called. Ben Mirov.

17.) I am also reading China Mieville's new book, The City & The City. So far it is not so great, but I like China's writing. He wrote two great steampunkish novels before this one, which is a detective novel.

f.) This is a recipe for a drink I drink everyday:

1/2 apple
1/2 medium cucumber
1 large handful spinach
juice of 1/2 lemon
ginger (to taste)
honey (to taste)
ice
blue berries (Optional. Makes the drink look brown and gnarly)
apple cider vinegar (Optional. Makes the drink taste gross, but is supposed to be good for you.)

Blend all ingredients until well-blended. Drink quickly while standing over sink.

Twitter.) I've been Twittering about once a day. It's pretty fun.

1,037.) People need money. I am a person.

9.) This is still a rad song: Lowest Part is Free

10.) I'm starting a new publishing project with my friends Alina and Kate. It is called ex machina. It's being born. We are going to publish audio files and "issues". We have no platform bias and are going to use free apps like Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter to disseminate our "publications" instantly across the universe. I can't say any more. I've said too much already.

11.) I'm probably going to get a burrito in like ten minutes.

ok,
Ben
