Watching Charles Simic

I do not think about the two
hour drive to see him read
in a minivan packed
with classmates, Professor Jackman
at the wheel, nor the fish and chips
we will eat at the pub
with only one beer
before the same ride back,
me sitting shotgun discussing
philosophy of education
and grandeur of writing
dreams. I do not think
of his reading of loopholes
as I fell into an absent iris,
or the genealogy of a poem
birthed at a country fair—
the kind that displays Cinderella
pumpkins, Foghorn Leghorn
chickens—and he still
let the poem tell of the six-
legged dog. I thought
of none of this after my book
was signed by the former
Poet Laureate as I climbed
the stairs, but of the two
well dressed women,
who would have
been ticket takers
had there been tickets
or ushers had they shown
us to our seats,
discussing a department
store advertisement
for toilet paper
one had found on sale.

I want a new journal but I don't know what.

Rest @ xxxhotmess; posts are public, but please join.

the best thing about yesterday's match is Nicky B at the tunnel, hanging out with the bois. And looking so fucking fly while at that. He did, however, wear something around his neck (scarf maybe?)

And if you gais knew by now, you know that my only logical reason/thought is that he wears them to cover *cough* lovebites (ohey Az's biting fetish *waves*)



And I think I know why Shava was such a shucks in that match. After that buttslapping from Nick, he probably spent the whole 90 minutes fearing for his life and the wrath of a certain Welshboy. Hahaha.


Ummm match gifs available on demand?

Hello all, I have a quick question for those of you who bake and do not consume dairy. I am looking at a recipe that my boyfriend and I would like to make which has "dry milk" as an ingredient. I have figured out that the creator of the recipe means powdered milk. Do any of you know of a brand of powdered soya milk? and for future baking reference an evaporated milk? or know of any good substitutes? Here is the recipe in question, http://joepastry.com/index.php?cat=161 Thanks in advance.

hi all,

I am looking for recipes/directions/input on making your own solid shampoos. if at all possible, i'd like to avoid lye. the idea that it can burn my eyes out or kill me by accident kind of freaks me out and seems to contradict the idea of natural living.

i have used the burts bees solid shampoo bar a while back and found it to be too waxy, and leaving a grimy residue on my hair.

i LOVE LOVE LOVE LUSH products and would buy only them, but things are going to be tighter than ever before with my husband's student teaching coming up.

when i have used solid shampoo - LUSH products in particular - the solid shampoo bar lasted a good three months even with two people using it.

OR is there a good home made shampoo (i am using the term shampoo loosely as i know some are on the no poo mindset) recipe that can be liquid, but still be great? I used Dr bronners, evern diluted, and it was not a great experience. I used it also as a base for home made shampoo mixture and it didn't work... way too harsh - i think it's going back tot he dr bronner factor there.

I have thin, fine hair that gets oily very quickly. i have used cornmeal, and in a pinch, i'm game, but i dont want to go to work with little tiny bits of yellow flaking out of my hair, have me itching my head in front of my students all day. I may know that i dont resemble Pigpen from Peanuts, but my students might wonder...


i'm also looking for input directions etc for a natural deodorant. i have developed an intolerance or allergy to normal commercial deodorant/antiperspirants. I have been using Toms of Maine for a while now, and while it works, it's not great, and i have to reapply frequently or else it gets a little boggin.

i'm very into make your own because i'm pretty skint right now, so give me what you got :) thanks :)

You promised me the world,
A world that is beautiful and free.

I see a world with poverty
Heartbreaks and lies.
A world with crimes and addiction,
That's how we'll all die.

Everyone wants to be different,
Which makes us all the same.
Sex and teen pregancies,
Society is to blame.

Children on the streets
Without family or education.
Even nothing on their bare feet,
Forgotten by this nation.

No one is ever alone.
We're all just victims on their agenda
Waiting for something to happen,
Until this evil is overthrown.

The bureaucracies conspire
They all promise change,
But all I see are wars and gunfires,
We all find it strange.

Religion is the greatest downfall
Grenades, AKs, and corpses sprawled.
Planes and bombs in God's will
But really, just another excuse to kill.

The media tries to make a quick buck
Defamations and gossip,
Damaging more than they can make up
We’re all screwed and fucked.

Humanity is baffled
Inebriated with love and greed
Obliterating this planet into shambles,
Just to satisfy our own needs.

You promised me the world,
Is this what you had in mind?

This way!

After reading a few posts on here touting the benefits of D3 I pick some up at Whole foods and started taking it. It says to be taken with a meal, which I have been doing. I have been taking it for 4 evenings now and each evening, about a 1/2 hour after dinner I have been feeling nauseous and have a slight stomach ache. The nausea lasts through the whole night and the first night lasted the whole next day too. Has anyone else that's taking D3 experienced nausea with it? I can't determine if it's the D3 causing the nausea or if maybe I have a stomach bug and it's a coincidence that it started the same time I started taking the D3.
