It is Friday (not): Go Right Ahead

Sorry. I was mara-stumbling (stumbling through a marathon)

Sorry. So drunk to not realize my drunkenness

Sorry. But you must order your life for it to fall apart

Want an hour to vanish politely? Well…gin

Anyone can panhandle at night. Even the afternoon. I’d like to see you properly panhandle in the morning

Strange. All whiskey is “fairly good.”

Is that you, trembling in the bed?

I can’t seem to click my tongue with my teeth. Maybe that’s only for novels, or sober people

Disgrace will dive at you!

Drunk as a fucking postage stamp

Me? I prefer an array of siphons and a punch bowl big as a synagogue

Ceiling up your honey! My Sara!

That’s cold

NYC Area Event Announcement: Agriculture Reader #4 Launches on Monday at the KGB Bar

From Chief Agriculturist Jeremy Schmall:

It’s been a year in the making, but the new issue is finally here! After all the letterpressing, stamping, stickering, and in some cases fingerprinting (you’ll see), the only thing we want now is to show it to you! That’s why there’s no better place to be than the wonderful KGB Bar this Monday night, as part of The Monday Night Poetry Series. Always at 7:30. Always FREE. The reading will feature Mark Bibbins, the author of The Dance of No Hard Feelings (Copper Canyon Press, 2009) and the Lambda Award-winning Sky Lounge; and Douglas Crase, author of The Revisionist, Both: A Portrait in Two Parts, and editor of The Library of America editions of Emerson’s Essays: First and Second Series.

Facebook invite is here. Jeremy and I will be hosting, and we’d love to see you there.

Paul Constant offers one of the funniest, angriest movie reviews I’ve read in a while. Seriously, don’t mess with that guy. BONUS QUESTION: Should we start a letter writing campaign to get movie studios to stop making comic book movies for a little while? Like, a five year break or something? Maybe until someone interesting agrees to direct one?

Louise Bourgeois on Writing

“Art is manipulation without intervention.”

“I am not what I am, I am what I do with my hands.”

“Surrealism is anathema for me. Because the surrealists made a joke of everything. And I consider life a tragedy.”

“I like Francis Bacon best, because Francis Bacon has terrific problems, and he knows that he is not going to solve them, but he knows also that he can escape from day to day and stay alive, and he does that because his work gives him a kick.”

“Once I was beset by anxiety but I pushed the fear away by studying the sky, determining when the moon would come out and where the sun would appear in the morning.”

“Art is not about art.”

“It is not so much where my motivation comes from but rather how it manages to survive.”
