Other People (and me)

By Poet With a Day Job

Other people are saying lots better things than I could dream up today, so go visit them instead of me…

Brent Goodman has posted correspondences he had with Ted Kooser. They are terrific.

***********************

Poet Mom has a great post with a hilariously poignant video regarding the writers’ strike.

***********************

This site called Quickmuse let’s you watch as a few well-known poets write for 15 minutes off prompts…it’s very, very cool.

***********************

LOL Cats continues to be my one-stop source for levity.

***********************

In support of all the striking writers, would it behoove the blogworld to go silent one day? Would it be possible? How can we make something like this happen?

***********************

When he was here, my dad said this: “What is wrong with kids today? They are all skinny, and they live on red bull, and their sunglasses are from Mars. What is red bull, anyway?”

***********************

    Look at you getting all organized and stuff! Very nice indeed. Now if I start getting pop-up advertisements when I stop by you’re going to hear about it!

    My Dad made a similar comment aboout the youth of today not long ago. ‘Why are they so obsessed with Paris Hilton,’ he said. ‘She looks like a hooker. Who would want to look like that?’ You’d be surprised, Dad, I thought.

    Love the new look. Thanks for all the contest listings. As I am presently collecting rejection slips, I think I might enter one.
    Have a great weekend.

    I’m with you. Come January, I’m ditching my .com and it will redirect to my blog. I’m sick of posting the same info in so many places. I feel like I’m littering the web. lol
