ellyssianSo, unless I lose my nerve, five poems will be flying off to The New Yorker tonight. Not the easiest market to break into, but, hey, my mom says they should publish my stuff, so we'll see if she's right they agree. =)
With luck, Full Moon Poetry will also go out soon, to an entirely different market. First, I have to send it out for feedback - I already have one person interested in giving it a read, any other takers can e-mail or reply to this and I'll send it your way.
On a completely random note, Tazo's Chai is much bettererTM in their "filterbag" than it is as prepared by Starbucks and/or Seattles Best Coffee. Of course, Brueggers Chai is much, much bettererTM than all of them put together exponentially. The reason for that is, of course, that Brueggers opened three stores down here about 6-7 years ago, and each one failed within a year; two replaced by pathetic attempts at bagel places (who may have good chai, but I quit them after getting sick too many times after eating there, and never having that problem with bagels and cream cheese before or since) and the third became something completely different.
Ah well, no good pizza for 300 miles, no good bagels either (I'm sure NYC has a decent place for the latter, even if NY pizza fails utterly against Real Pizza.)

3. Dude, no TMing the betterer! That's, like, so mine!
Sort of. Maybe. I don't care if you point out you have years on me.
