not what I thought I'd do

Charity Larson's put up another lovely page of Busted Wonder.

Hands like sand falling through water, a smile too of something the same. Eyes that scratch the ceiling of shyness, colour storm-skirting the edges of decency. Laughter of coffee, small movements ducking the head away. Laughter of hiding like inside a box of perfectly warped glass. Hanging a shot to dry between the lips, watching wrist to elbow, it's recalled in an instant, the taste of soft intimacy holding hands with polished copper, the mix of colours, the white cream roses cloudily blooming in clear licorice alcohol. Lightning and thunder, the gravity hand of wind in the basement, part of later, not yet.

Pick up the gift, make the liquid vanish. Magic tricks, sleight of nothing up my sleeve. Everything will be alright. A toast to sitting here, a toast to being alive and smiling.

I joined a gamelan earlier, helped them carry heavy instruments to a waiting truck behind the Museum of Anthropology. I joined a lesbian burlesque troop the day before and scheduled the day I begin my fencing lessons.

Now Mondays are Korean Movie Night, Tuesdays are Gamelan, Wednesday will be Ghost In The Shell until we're done, Thursday have fencing, and Fridays will be the Funk-Motown night starting March 3th at the Waldorf, (the day a group of us are going to watch NightWatch on opening night, want to come?). Suddenly I'm having to peer around corners to find time for taxidermy. Unexpected, this shift of personal physics. I feel domestic, tamed.

Here's a trailer for Harry Kim's still-in-progress Dave Choe documentary.

I still think it's super-awesome you're going to Gameland again.

Which friday, the 3rd? Because it looks awesome.

Also, I want to watch Ultraviolet, is this also in your interests?

sp: gamelan

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

Yes the third, that's what it says. It's going to be brill. DO you like Motown?

[kurrs.livejournal.com]

I find funk decidedly uninteresting, not sure why.

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

Obviouysly you're broken.

So, that projector you had. If you've still access to it, we could move KMN to my house if need be and use that.

[kurrs.livejournal.com]

The projector is definately not something I am able to loan out.

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

No worries. This'll give me a chance to finally make it to poetry slams.

[kurrs.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's a non-transferable familial perk.

[quazar3.livejournal.com]

[kindelingboy.livejournal.com]

NightWatch! Yes! YES!

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

To follow a trend: Oooh, Nightwatch!
