Today is the birth of my blog. I will post flash fiction, short stories, poetry, prose poetry, book/ album/movie/t.v.show reviews, sports commentary, pictures and random thoughts. I am a junior creative writing major at DePaul. I dream of being published, being the youngest author of One Book, One Chicago and running around New Zealand. I am currently sitting in my parent's kitchen, watching the dishes dry themselves. I am wearing a Croatian soccer jersey. I am not Croatian, I think.
What I'm reading: Live Nude Girl by Kathleen Rooney (amazing DePaul professor)
Tinderbox Lawn by Carol Guess (lent to me by KR)
Love Drugged by James Klise (my high school librarian)
On Deck: Slow Trains Overhead by Reginald Gibbon
Daddy's by Lindsay Hunter (also lent to me by KR)
The Middle of the Night by Daniel Stolar (DePaul professor I'll have next quarter)
In the hole: Ruins by Achy Obejas (another amazing DePaul professor, who gave me a free autographed copy of her novel!)
The Devil in the White city by Erik Larson ('bout half way done)
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote (reread)
I also did some early Christmas shopping for myself a few nights ago. arriving in my mailbox shortly: Tinkers by Paul Harding, Trash by Dorothy Allison, Zen in the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel and Best European Fiction ('11) edited by Alexander Hemon. I had also ordered films: Reprise, (which arrived today, and a review of it will be up shortly) The Fall and The Prestige. I also ordered some new shoes and a new coat.
What's coming out of the ear phones: Sidewalks (Matt and Kim)
Soon to be downloaded: All Day (Girl Talk)
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (Kanye West)
Best of Gloucester County (Danielson) featuring Jens Lekman AND Sufjan Stevens!
I think that is enough. The 'Hawks and Sharks are calling.
