When I was flying back into New York a week ago, I had a window seat on the airplane. We were coming into La Guardia from the west, after having flown over the rust belt of Pennsylvania and the chemical factories in New Jersey. Outside my window (16A), it was very Sprawl. And much more interesting in my imagination.

Typing all day trying to
get words out faster and fact-check
with precise clarity
grand figures that lack identity
finding population stats
meaningless when correlating
productivity
slide...

Shanghai broke the heat record Saturday.
I don't even want to know.
Standing up requires another shower.
It was 130 years old, or so the paper says.
The cat hides in the stairwell,
waiting for the afternoon's abuse of electricity
called air conditioning.
The morning is for understanding one's surroundings,
the afternoon for changing them.

fireworks are pretty expensive. you can also blow your hand off. you can also blow other things up. if you do it on purpose, it's quite fun. by accident, it's really only fun if you run away.

Just the time to be popping out to Chicago for a couple of days, where it's been above 90 and equally oppressive. Elsewhere, I got a mention in the "Recent Press" section of the Void Books website for my review of The Sluts, by Dennis Cooper. Nice. -Jason.

You would not be the first,
entirely ok with it the rest of us would be.
In other news, the weather center today proclaimed
that Shanghai "feels like" 43 degrees C today,
because of humidity (56%) and city smog.
Assuming US 'Lounge readership,
let me save you a trip to Google.
109.7 degrees F.

(06/24/2005; 09:19am) - a small aside
there's a thing on this website. it's just to the left of what you're reading right now. originally it was going to be a section where people did stuff and put it on the internet. nobody did that. maybe someone should. maybe i'll do it. but, probably not until someone else does it. i don't want to look like a loser, you know?
