My version of spite: I'm publishing my first poetry collection next week. I'm not entering it into the library system because I'm not giving that petty little man another chance to insult me. The library system will never see another creative work from me again. Only my journal articles.

Was excused early from meeting (because I did all my work and everything's been checked) so let's try to submit the article now before I head home.

Story day!! I’m so delighted to debut in @unchartedmag.bsky.social with ‘Love Story in Colored Glass:’ an inter-dimensional love story about a starship that breaks reality - and a pair of lovers who find themselves, again and again, across the fracture.

Love Story in Colored Glass - Uncharted
“This,” her father says, the stone a matte black promise in his hand, “is how your ship will travel.” With a bravura flick, he throws it out onto the lake, but all she can focus on is the spike of ten...

What The Woods Mean -- the collection I plan on publishing next week has poems written between 1996-2006 (mostly). Some have been published, some have been on my websites, and a couple of others I've performed at readings. The original Cupid/Psyche poem that led to Watermyth is contained.

Early morning meetings three days in a row. Although I was a bit late yesterday on account of my spine AND asthma acting up.
Was awake by 530am today, though. So, I should be there on time, flood warnings notwithstanding.

Tarantino, who never saw an old movie he couldn’t rip for content, is the most hilarious spokesman for this message.
Self-awareness is a great virtue. He has never been burdened with it.

Kill Bill director Quentin Tarantino has said The Hunger Games "ripped off" Battle Royale, and expressed surprise that the Japanese writer of the cult classic original didn’t sue The Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins. https://bit.ly/44fDUkf

I’ve been lighting my self-care candles (peach scented) so often lately that I guess it’s nearly time to stock up. Forever a candles and sparkly lights girlie.

Deleted that promo about my upcoming poetry collection (mostly so I can satisfy myself that I brought out a book this year, even if it is a smol book) because I'm not in the mood for a boasty rah-rah promotion (I never am, tbh, but especially not now when my sense of self has been sorely bruised).

Anyway, I will continue publishing my blog posts that serve no value to society, whether pedagogical or otherwise.

I don't want people wondering/worrying too much over what's going on too much given how much I've been talking about tears and such so I'm just going to tell you: I will have only two scopus-indexed articles this year even if most of my other evaluation rings will be 100% full.

Huh. I actually made the formatted/templated version of the What The Woods Mean poetry collection years ago but never got around to publishing it. LOL @ myself.
Maybe over the weekend or next week...

Things I have discovered from over 2 decades of the internets and social
media w/ American friendos: green bean casserole is a thing; oddly enough it works and is delicious.
American friendos, you have a lot to answer for.

Unchecked development threatens Cameroon’s Manyange Na Elombo-Campo marine park
If such development continues unchecked, Cameroon is at risk of further damaging its protected marine ecosystems and sabotaging its long-term sustainability and conservation goals.

Couldn’t submit article earlier. But almost done. Suddenly realised I was alone in the corridor, it was late, and raining. So I skedaddled home. Long drive through rain and traffic jam so all I want right now is my spaceship.
