Tonight's Poet Corner: Introspection

Can't talk now. With my girlfriend. Um. Introspection is introspective. Poetry is awesome. Girlfriend is hot. Recommendations now.

Recommended Book: Ask the Dust by John Fante
I recommend this because it has one of the most interesting characters I've seen in fiction. And by interesting, I mean frustrating. Which makes for an alarmingly good read.

Recommended Poet: e.e. cummings
Yes, I'm writing out his name the way he would write it out. So there. Nyeh.

Recommended Music: Sara Bareilles
Her music is fun and catchy, her lyrics are clever, and her voice is great. Plus she's a friend of my stepcousin and performed at her wedding. So I listened to her CD before she even got big.

Recommended Drink before Bed: Warm Egg Nog
I'm running out of drinks, so my girlfriend volunteered this one for tonight. So enjoy it, damn it.

Writer's Quotation of the Night:

I am a galley slave to pen and ink.
- Honore de Balzac

Have a great night and a great weekend, everyone.

Her curls lay in wet swaths around the warm nape of her neck. The statues would crumble in due time. The deluge was impending. We both would drown.
