Lifting Boxes

Hey folks, as some may know, I’ve recently bought and started constructing my own webspace at http://lifeinoleg.com. With that, I will gradually be shifting my writing output over to that site (slowly, slowly). The first stage of that move is that I’m carrying my creative writing (poetry etc.) to a new space called my DRAFTBOOK located at the easy-to-remember http://lifeinoleg.com/draftbook.

All the poetry that’s been posted to this blog is there now, so if you’d like to take another look and comment again, that’d be alright.

I’m kicking off this move with a never-before-seen poem called “ohno comeon.” Head on over to my DRAFTBOOK to check it out.

Of Course!

Augh…The News!

Today’s Gill comic is delightful. I actually laughed out loud reading it. I hope I didn’t wake anybody up…It’s 1:15AM. ‘Course if I did, I’d ask them to come over and read that there comic strip.

Dear Twitter. Good bye.

Just wrote a Dear John letter to Twitter.

Will now be able to fill the hours a day I spent checking Twitter on more useful things, like checking FAIL blog and i can has cheezburger.

Grindin’…

three short narratives

Randy jumped aboard a passing train and traded for a guitar with no strap. His hands were full.
Lights out in the straw-cavern, he supposed and passed out. Guitar by his side.
In the windy night, the wind plucked a few strings and woke him. He was awake instantly, but his left arm snoozed another twenty minutes.

The party was just getting started with confetti already strewn and drinks a-pouring. There was an even gender-balance, except for one odd girl out.
By midnight everyone was drunk.
Later that night, one guy got extra lucky. His girlfriend had a tattoo of scales on the inside of her leg.

At four-thirty in the morning the Dolphin Club was already out on the morning swim, the seagull noted.
He swooped down for a wee snack, and snatched it easily. This was turning out to be a good morning.
Later, he and a couple of buddies bombed a boat-tour.
