be like antiparticle

it's my latest attempt at emulating antiparticle. yes, i'm going to attempt to FINALLY become a true, regular blogger. to launch the pursuit of this most-ambitous goal, i am going to try to blog everyday this week. that's right, EVERYDAY...even if its a short blog, i'm gonna write something.

on saturday, i went to a poetry/literary reading with teresa. the reading was at jack kerouac's old house in college park as a part of the jack kerouac project of orlando. wine and food was served and there was a decent size group of people on hand to listen to author fay hart read, as well as recite from memory, many of her works.

fay has been living in the house for three months and now she's about to move out. her residency has come to a close. i really enjoyed her writing, though much of its appeal may have stemmed from her funny and charismatic read.

fay is a woman who has had her share of experiences to draw from in her work. she lived in london for 27 years and has been married three times. i was told elvis costello wrote "pump it up" for her. this woman has met some interesting people in her time, and clearly, based on her writing, fay has spent a fair amount of that time in bars.

i met some interesting people there...including a cool, artsy, probably-slightly-too-young-for-me girl that i liked. i chatted her up before the reading started and then we sat together and joked about how mediocre one of the wines tasted...only to both agree that we should refill our cups nonetheless. we exchanged phone numbers after fay finished up. i'll keep you abreast to where that goes...if anywhere...
