I'm the Guild of Outsider Writers' featured poet at the moment. Do please go have a look. They've got my poems "That Left Turn At Albuquerque," "Koan" and "15 Ways to Leave Your Labyrinth" posted.
Terribly, terribly excited.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Request to the NYCistas on behalf of a friend of mine: Could anyone recommend a good psychiatrist who is good at helping people figure out the right ADs and who can help w/ OCD? Someone who is good at drawing people out?
She's in Brooklyn, but is willing to go to another borough to work with the right person. Her current doctor is beyond incompetent.
Profile addy is good.

Howdy, all! That site I occasionally write for, girl-wonder.org, is holding a fundraising auction [link] which is something I'd probably announce anyway, seeing as I'm associated with them and all, but what may be of real interest to y'all is this: [link] the Tim Sale cover line art for the Tales of the Slayer trade.

[link] New book review by me of Peter Barnes' Capitalism 3.0: A Guide to Reclaiming the Commons. Peter Barnes, the founder and retired CEO of Working Assets explains how he thinks our current system is fundamentally flawed in dealing with global warming, the environment and other commons, and how it can be improved rather than replaced.
It is a good book, and (IMO) well reviewed. [link]

Giving you lots of time to shake your couch for pennies, I wanted to announce that Deborah Grabien will be visiting me in Cleveland, Ohio from around the 13th through about the 16th of December to celebrate the first print release from Drollerie Press, her novel Still Life with Devils.
We have some couch and floor room (first come, etc.) and if necessary I can force the relatives to give up a couch or two, but if enough people want to come hang out for our release party, I'll gladly twist a hotel's metaphorical arm and get a group rate. Scheduled activities so far include an author talk at the local library and a champagne reception at a local art gallery where Deb will be reading and signing, my art will be hanging on the walls, and my son will be playing the guitar and singing. I'm working on a bookstore signing and a radio show, and will let you know what's the what when I do.
We've done it before, we can do it again. I'm calling it DebacleCon. Drop me a note in e-mail (serasempre @ gmail.com) or post in F2F if you want to know more or to snag some couch.
