My Mind Was Blown Again: noon panel with Frank X....
Saul Williams speaks in poetry. With his words, body, and voice. He’s mesmerising. He unconsciously lives his work. There were times when his answers left us all speechless…including Mr. Walker. I exerienced a rather powerful conversation today with two amazing voices in modern American poetry.
Here are some of the gems I thought were worth passing on:

How To Safely Open the Spine of a Book Without...
I’m a firm believer of treating my books with reverence—I want them to last since I’m a frequent rereader. I strongly dislike dogeared, broken backed, mangled, & otherwise “slightly” damaged books. They’re uncomfortable to read because of the strange hand contortions I have to employ to read them. My mom, who I most frequently share books with, has none of...

Recipe: DINNER IN A SQUASH. A high-protien, good...
On a whim I bought an lovely green squash one day (I thought it was acorn. I was WAY off.) But it tasted like…well, like nothing. So I devised a recipe to spice it up. I took the idea of my mom’s “dinner in a pumpkin” recipe, nixed the rice, and then just threw stuff together. It turned out really really yummy. Now I make it all the time. And it’s what I’m...

My 7 Week Round-up of the "Moe's Big Fat Loser"...
I feel like I should’ve been keeping track of my progress since Jan, I meant to. I even started a Twitter acct just for a exercise outlet so my FB friends wouldn’t have to put up w me complaining about aches & pains & motivation problems OR an acct of what I was eating/caloric intake. BUT I was too busy actually working out to document much of anything extra. I also...
