The Perverse: April 2008
http://theperverse.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Documented Reckonings and Noted Absurdities. Friday, April 25, 2008. At Haute Trash Fashion show. Never post pics of me; they tend to be rare. Being in the back row, in a corner, apparently gives one a nasty double chin. Tuesday, April 22, 2008. Glibly and brisk: “It’s when I get to forget about all of this, it’s when I get to feel alive! Sunday, April 20, 2008. Haute Trash was a blast; Bree strutting Michelle's. Dress stood out in the bunch. But the rain! Tuesday, April 15, 2008. Worse, I woke up the ne...

The Perverse: December 2008
http://theperverse.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Documented Reckonings and Noted Absurdities. Tuesday, December 16, 2008. I will try and make the best of today, but most of the people here see me as a threatening pariah and unknown quantity. Most of them do not approach me; I have to sidle up to their little groups, show my affable side, and undo whatever. Have been bandied about in grumbled spite at my general affluence. Can I be blamed for my anticipation, or for a situational providence? 8220;And what was his name…? 8221; She looks away from me.

The Perverse: the trees
http://theperverse.blogspot.com/2009/01/trees.html
Documented Reckonings and Noted Absurdities. Sunday, January 4, 2009. I liquidated my anxieties, thumbed my rosary beads, burnt a votive, and nothing happened. Selective attention and self-fulfilling prophecy: aren’t they a little like Tweedledee and Tweedledum, with their exasperating agreement to never disagree? I drew a mental geometry in my head, figured if a tree fell it would fall short of their home, and wrote them off as saintly for their concern. There is one other reason. Where The Action Is.

The Perverse: July 2009

Documented Reckonings and Noted Absurdities. Sunday, July 12, 2009. The cigarettes were good for him for they measured the time. He did not look like someone positioned to start. Slouched in an armchair, a terry cloth robe his better off brother bought him at Penny's, draping his flanks. Not that he needed a nice robe. What was the point of owning a nice robe, unless you are independently wealthy and making your way about in it, all the day? That isn't half bad. And he deserves a little treat. Curving to...

The Perverse: She's a BOOK
http://theperverse.blogspot.com/2009/07/shes-book.html
Documented Reckonings and Noted Absurdities. Saturday, July 11, 2009. Curving toes, tightening sphincter, arching spine and heaving chest - way back now; arching parallel to the earth's surface and robbing the eyes of their power completely). Or, instead of looking at who is in control now.it wouldn't really be necessary, declaiming it so, having directed the eyes to look into the sun: "So, while the cat's away, the mice will play!

The Perverse: June 2008
http://theperverse.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Documented Reckonings and Noted Absurdities. Monday, June 30, 2008. I can tell you what was there.". This from a man sidling up alongside him. Only it is a strange voice: as though he were a talking animal, only here it is coming from the mouth of a human being. Is he wearing mascara? That was the question you were asking yourself, right? I can read your face. The look on your face is.obvious. It's obvious to me; it is obvious to all of us.". You were the one who let it go.". In this direction: Oh shit.

Documented Reckonings and Noted Absurdities. Monday, July 28, 2008. 1 Tore out ten more feet of fence, and one post. This post was heavier; had to wheel it to my dump staging area. 2 Removed the sod to create a 5' x 8' garden. There Will Be Blood. The latter I watched twice. 4 Visited Jen and we picked up a surprised Mark while waiting for the bus. Hit Talrico's. Nobody told me everyone is moving Westside! 8 I begin writing Mercurial U; doubt I'll publish it. 10 Visited Marika. Briefly. 13 My sister drop...

The Perverse: May 2008
http://theperverse.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Documented Reckonings and Noted Absurdities. Thursday, May 29, 2008. The Getty's Cove Redress. My stress level was at a boil. Days before Sasquatch, I still hadn't secured a camp site. I combed a 30-mile radius around the gorge: several places reminded me that it is, after all, Memorial Day weekend and they had been booked for 8 months. Not one to give up, I would call them weekly hoping I could catch a cancellation. Someone had to be dying, somewhere. I asked my sister - an avid camper - what the place ...

The Perverse: October 2009
http://theperverse.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Documented Reckonings and Noted Absurdities. Thursday, October 22, 2009. Since I haven't written in awhile, I took a look at all the things I never finished. These pieces have occupied my mind in many ways.woolgathering on the bus, mind-wandering on the elliptical at the gym.they just never worked out, regardless of my hopes at their maiden voyage. The crux of it is, I'm in love. It's so much easier to write when you are lonely! A dozen trumpets and tubas and saxophones arc and pitch against one another ...
