'Bred Crumbs
08.15.02
I wonder if true creativity means the artist not just expresses something new or in a new way, but also uncovers something about himself he didn't know was there.
Which is to say: I'm as surprised as you are to present 'Bred Crumbs' new offspring: Sonnetblog. It's sonnets. It's a weblog. It's hard to explain.
(Note to Jane: though I mention within that a note of yours helped start this new creation chugging, it occurs to me now that by building it on a framework of sonnets I've chosen exactly the kind of poetic artifice that turns you off. Sorry.)
(Note to everyone else: check out the new thing as you wish; 'Bred Crumbs continues regardless.)

Exchange at the office:
"You iron your jeans?"
(appalled at the suggestion) "No, I don't iron my jeans!"
"Then what's that crease in them?"
"Oh, that's from the dry-cleaning."

A fantasy I had on the way to work this morning: the annoying dance hit "The Need to Be Naked" is transformed by an ambitious Christian youth group into "The Need to Be Sacred."

Wow, I'm nearly as sick of hearing about Elvis now as I was when he died!
