updates from the alternametropolis
(I apartment-hunt and I literary-mag-hunt. some confused observations)
1. only yellow apartments in foggy environs will be considered. all other submissions will be recycled unopened. (actually, we read all unsolicited apartments. go figure).
2. I am intrigued by these guys: bateau and I want to order a copy but I don’t want to pay bank! when I am famous I will open a paypal account and people will donate money to it and i will use that money to buy literary journals. so that I can make money and get literary journals by having my stories accepted. ;)
3. I DO NOT LIKE ANTS. Ants, beware. come into my new home and you will be ruhlessly slaughtered with no mercy.
4. Since coming to SF, I have run into 4+ people who, for one reason or another, I did not expect to run into. I said hi to 2 of them. both times it was awkward.
5. overheard: “I think I might be a politician. What do you think?” “Pretty fiery.” “I don’t think you’d like me; I’m not good at being moderate enough.”
6. I am going through a list of litmags alphabetically. so far I am only at bateau. this is not a good situation!
7. on recycled notebooks I’m making: currently finishing “the liminal book” which is made from muni/bart transfers and unused rental applications. someday I hope to make “the book of rejection.” yup. it will be made entirely of rejection letters.
8. can you tell my storylines are disintegrating? yeah. I’m also running out of space in all my notebooks and finishing more knitting projects than i would have thought possible.
