Bulletin Board of Bad Behavior

sounds like you gentleman are having a good time. keep up the good work, because when it's all said and done, that's the only memory worth reflecting upon. as of now i'm being chased by an angry sublettor because i owe her 300 dollars. i have the money yet i am habitually lazy and have not mustered up the ambition to send it out. she sent me an angry email today saying she's taking me to small claims court. i emailed her back with "don't worry honey, the moneys on the way!" i don't own a check book and i'm quite skeptical about sending 300 clams through the mail.

anyways, cheers to all.

Well, my daughter and I met Martino this evening. Seems like a pretty nice chap, though I think he thinks I must be one mean lady to Mc. No worries Martino, it's just good natured ribbing. Someone's got to bust him out since the sloth is abroad. We were supposed to have veggie burgers tonight but some things came up that prevented it so we will do it tomorrow night instead. We can sit and listen to music while happily stuffing our faces. I will be sure to use my verbal facial expressions to their fullest capacity.
Twas truly a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Martino.

i am in new york, but green with envy hearing about the fun.
i am staying in spanish harlem and all the men are beautiful and they are very friendly. eating puerto rican food is the best. i am with friends from seattle. we visited the guggenheim yesterday. there was an amazing exhibit called moving pictures. this one islamic woman filmed a burial. women were chanting and digging a grave with their hands while the men walked the body to the grave. on the side playing was a young girl building what she was seeing with rocks. i also stood an inch away from piet mondrian's paintings and chagall. i could almost smell the paint. the moma is being renovated so i guess there was a procession of art that was carried in a parade to moma in queens. smoked pot in central park and dreamed about living here again.
today is shopping and gay bars!!!

so i am posting sober, for a change. from vancouver, also for a change.

this seattle thing has been a bit too exciting for me. it causes too strong feelings, this meeting all these people i have been reading about for months. for a person with certain social anxieties like me, it is a little difficult.

but it has been wonderful beyond expectations. my thanks to everybody i have seen -- everybody has been extremely kind, generous, warm and funny.

there was mc who stayed in seattle extra for me even though he was moving to az. we had a lot of drunken and sober fun and have begun what i think is gonna be a super business relationship and a warm friendship. i miss you already, ya bum!

who would have thought i'd meet the whole mccutcheon company gang including zac! what a strange and nice bunch.

tony was the definition of the nice bloke, notwithstanding his slobbering dog.

mav with his kevin kline looks and sunny disposition was a great drinking buddy and a lesson on how a totally unpretentious guy can be much more interesting than all those artsy types.

h. invited me over for veggieburger and i still can't get over what a sweet and sexy and intelligent person she is. i was expecting some kinda superbitch but she is the business, as the brits would say. and obviously a super mom to boot: daughter k. is a really rare child, one of these bright shining things that give me the deep feeling (ever experienced it?) that in the long run, everything is gonna be as right as rain.

back in seattle on saturday, and with luck, i'll see rosie! and thats what i call putting the topping on a desert.

I miss you too ya bum. Martino is the shit, as they said to me today at a truck stop in cazy fuck oregan. I miss you too, really, and it was worth the wait and delay. Meeting you was the highlight of my year. I mean these things, internet friendships, not to mention literary buisness, is supposed to work out, is it? My life just got better.

And I agree with you, Mavrick has no artistic talent. (just kidding Mav- as they say in Wisconsin)

Now I have Amanda waiting in bed for me. A sober Mccutcheon in the hills of Southern Oregan. were they sure in hell don't all look like Amanda.

Gee, but I feel left out. I wish I'd known
what you guys were doing on the 3rd. I would
have been able to be there and everything.
McC, you could have introduced me to Martino!
Oh well, I guess we said our goodbyes, but here's
another one, goodbye McC! You better come back or
I'll hunt your ass down and make you put a needle on a record.

Ooh- congrats on your wedding...
Thanks to your kick-in-the-pants post in another
section, I've made a commitment to myself to visit "the Motherland" (what I call the U.K.)
next summer. There have been some barriers to keep me from leaving here in the past few years but since they're no longer there, there's really no reason for me not to at least visit, if I can get the money and time together to do it. I intend to visit London and Glasgow.

Glad I could be of service Mark. Word on the streets is that jobs are easier than ever to get for Americans here.

Anyway, it sucks that Canadians and Jamaicans and Aussies can work here without special permission and Americans can't.

Long live the Commonwealth.

Martino...It was great to meet you, I had fun drinking, carousing, and even djing for a while. I'm glad you weren't a euro-stalker or something, out to kidnap mccutcheon and hold him for ransom from the paxaciduscommunity....The company was great, and I know you have made Mc very happy to know that someone cared enough about his writing to want to represent it. Best of luck with that! Everyone here has said how great Martino is...hope you can come back again! I'll even forgive the neverending Sting teasing.

McCutcheon, I hope you're having a safe drive...and as for my lack of artistic talent...who ever heard of a writer who doesn't understand the difference between "artsy" and artistic!
