hahaha

I had an appointment in midtown on Wed.  Afterward, on my way back home I stopped by Jim Hanley’s Universe to have them hold a Scott Pilgrim for the signing they’re having 2 weeks from now.  The store was packed with people buying the above comic.  It’s an Obama Spiderman comic, I read it, it’s pretty idiotic, but whatever, I guess Marvel needs to sell stuff, Obama on anything probably sells pretty well, and I bought one.  It’s the second printing, which means they’re already done with the first printing, at this rate I bet a third printing will be happening soon too.  If you didn’t know Obama has expressed that he is a Spiderman fan, and that probably got those smart guys at Marvel thinkin’… !!!!  Otherwise I’m quite relived that the change of presidents has finally happened.  Good riddance.

Watched LOST, which was insane. I used to be able to keep up with what was going on sort of.  but now? like… yeah… pretty whack.  

I love it.

Also made some plans for the new loft.  A bedroom needs to be built.  Maybe I’ll post them soon.

AN UPWARD LOOK

Oh heart green acre          sown with salt
by the departing          occupier

lay down your gallant          spears of wheat
Salt of the earth           each stellar pinch

flung in blind           defiance backwards
now takes its toll           Up from his quieted

quarry the lover          colder and wiser
hauling himself          finds the world turning

toys triumphs          toxins into
this vast facility           the living come
dearest to die in           How did it happen

In bright alternation           minutely mirrored
Within the thinking           of each and every

mortal creature           halves of a clue
approach the earthlinghts          Morning star

evening star           salt of the sky
First the grave           dissolving into dawn

then the crucial           recrystallizing
from the inmost depths           of clear dark blue

An Upward Look By James Merrill

Better late than never I guess, apologies this took so long to put up.

An Upward Look was our (Jefferson, Laura, Hannah, and myself) entry to the Chicago Hole Competition “MINE THE GAP” which won an honorable mention. The content consisted of the two boards above, you can click them to enlarge if you want to see some of the detail, or at least as much as a online image can offer.  I hope you enjoy.
