Today, my plantarium

Due to my incredibly boring disposition, I just have to post this picture of my growing plant (Christmas present from a niece-in-law who digs my boring disposition like a spade) and my favorite mug (which eloquently mirrors my morning face). Hee.
Do you see the teeny-weeny leaf? Do you see it? Do you, do you?

Publications received of late:

• Red Booth Review (fall 2k5): these print issues are always such a pleasure to read. The 2005 anthology contains poetry by Raymond Cavanaugh, Barbara Archer, Barry Ballard, Martin Willits, Dan Schillinger, Joel Van Noord, Alex Stolis, Amy Pence, Sid Miller, Jason Kelly Richards, Mariel Boyarsky, Jude Roy, Ann White, Caitlyn C. Bergeron, John 'Chet' Hicks, CL Bledsoe, Annie England, Maurice Oliver and -- ahem -- yours truly. I'm particularly blown away about Martin Willits' poem, How To Impale A Watermelon With A Playing Card. Made me want to light up afterwards for some reason. Hee. **currently accepting submissions, so check it out!**

• 'eye' (issue 3, december 2005): this is one of those magazines that are compiled with a lot of love (edited by Peter Schwartz).

Shroeder, Juliet Cook, CL Bledsoe, LB Sedlacek, Daniel Y. Harris, Louis E.
