Less than a month away, June 16 is Bloomsday. I have appropriated Bloomsday as my own holiday. This coming June will be my eighth celebrated Bloomsday.
Rule #1: Take the day off work as one does when observing holidays.
Rule #2: With the exception of rule number one, do not plan anything. Nothing. Not before the day. Not during the day.
Rule #3: Be symbolically aware.
For further details e-mail me and hopefully I will recieve it.

Poetry Daily Date Archive Cento
As fog lowered and lowered the navigable ceiling,
We are frantic families here. We are all bitten up.
You Mama's son. You
Seeing this plain
Those wonderful rhymed lines with their metered flow
Blockbusters are only
Five years shy of the century's end
My body is so much bigger, and I am always wanting
Too quickly the fields unfolded
Evanescent engine in its ether-housing,
Now that I am up here in the sky I can see
I found the orchard anxious with bees and a bowlegged dog
The Prize Patrol has inflated the balloons and loaded a raft-sized check in a van,
God is my secret; he knows I'm his girl. You don't
The trick is to leave yourself behind,
It helps to know her body wept:
A wedding in the restaurant's small garden.
Everyone's happy, catching candy.
The Ninth makes no difference to canyons,
The one on the ground lofts two at a time
At the National Aquarium in Washington D.C.,
Let's thank our mistakes, let's bless them
Praise the cook with a shaven head
When people say they miss me,
I am no longer meeting with losers
You've lit a candle on the counter between us,

Audblog now supports Radio, MoveableType, and upcoming LiveJournal and TypePad.
Audblog sound cool, but like Jordan, I refuse to pay for almost anything, no matter how cheap. I hope that Jim Behrle keeps the audblog going and especially that he uploads more poems. Even though I am not longer on the Crush list.
Note: I revoke the previous announcement about Blogger's anchor/archive feature. Though the anchors no longer create an error page, blogspots apparently need to manually update their archives frequently.
