Untitled #53
Having just purchased nearabouts $50 worth of used paperbacks at Adobe, I have to ask myself: why oh why did I just spend more money than my net worth? Is it because I just won the lottery or received a fat advance from a publisher? Did some cultured magnate decide to bless me with his patronage? Did I get a new job, a raise? Did a heretofore unbeknownst to me trust fund come into maturity? No, no, no, no, no, and--to my deepest dismay-- no. Is it because there is copious free space in my grand, penthouse pied-a-terre and empty bookshelves crying for some book loving? No. Is it because have leisure time enough to read these books? No, it is not.
On second thought, I don't have to ask myself anything at all.
Caroline and Zuzka were boozily enthusiastic about starting a reading group. I seem to recall there was talk of make-out contests and squeeze-a-boob fundraisers. I don't know. I'd been drinkning.
My homepage is still an embaressing blank, but I decided on at least one more project I will be using the hissycat domain for. Since my big, fat lesbian pulp thesis is just burning a hole in my desk drawer, I decided I'll be putting it up as a web document so that that information, whatever it's worth, is accessable to anyone who wants/ needs it. I'm going to be doing a whole lesbian pulp resource, actually, with extensive bibbliiographies and directories to further resources. There are a few pages out there already like this, but there is definately room to make one more up-to-date and comprehensive. Plus it gives me a chance to rescue some of the dead darlings I had to cut from the thesis-- writings about the historical backgrounds not directly pertinant to my critical argument, but still possible of use to someone looking for that type of information.
I told Brett and Ameeth I'd meet them an hour and a half from now, which means that in Joannatime, I need to start getting ready to leave the house now. I cannot leave my house without spending at least forty minutes making sure I have everything I could possibly need with me for the next 72 hours, and I can't leave without a bag of supplies to see me through any contingency that might arise, including but not limited to prison, earthquake, famine, psychic discomfit of the type alleviated by pills, pyschic discomfit of the type alleviated by fiction, extreme heat, chapped lips, excessively oily skin, a spontaneous shower in which to condition and comb my hair, frigid cold, draught, a gang of drag queens in need of concealer, mascara and a few other necessities, an on-the-spot assignment, a meeting with an agent or editor. I leave the apartment and return about half a dozen times before I'm satisfied that I have enough of what I need and I have double-checkd that the lights are off and the cat is not on fire.
