2 cheese "string" sticks (net wt. 1 oz. each)
1 apple
1/2 pack of cigarettes
function/form:
Went to the Philadelphia Museum of Art last weekend (pay what you want - $1) to see the Japanese Screen Show and the closing of the Thomas Chimes exhibit. After scoping out the two shows, went upstairs looking for the Dan Flavin installation but couldn't find the piece. (A.A. entry 1, A.A. entry 2)
According to the information desk, the fluorescent lights on the second floor are part of the construction that is going on there *not* an art piece. too bad. think Flavin himself would have been very pleased regarding the placement of the lights in the windows as seen from outside the museum during nightfall.

TOBEORNOTTOBE*
Just found out that the James Joyce Book Club (Book Corner**/Philly) has morphed into the Shakespeare Book Club... not sure if I'll continue to go.
Am currently reading the gospel of Luke. I have plenty of issues in regards to Christian theology but will start attending this weekly "Alternative Seminary" ... seems interesting.
Think someone should publish a bible where every "book" was its own hard cover being but small like a paper pocket book. The editon would sort of be like an encyclopedia series with large slip cases for both old and new testament. Would give more weight to them (gospels) by being presented as *separate* (yet part of a whole) which they were/are.
*couldn't find which actor, though think it is Michael York, who says this really fast on stage because the audience always expects it to be said very slowly and with great (over)emotion. Instead, that bit is over with quickly, in the blink of an eye... well so much for that. find that funny.
**just picked up A Confederacy Of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. was in a brown bag of donated books outside that I noticed while sitting in the shade at one of their tables drinking coffee and smoking a cigarette. told one of the employees about it and he said I could snag a book, free of charge, if I wanted to... which I did.

entry for Bad Poetry Contest (march '07):
Wake Up And Smell The Coffee
Sometimes, just before my eyes open
I hear rustling and feel the coolness
of an empty bed.
I wonder where
has she gone?
My armpits and breath
smell like sewage
that cannot be salvaged!
Then I smell an aroma
and miss her more.
Wish I had a girlfriend
instead of a maid.
Would save me money
bring some comfort
though my clothes wouldn't be
ironed so crisply.
underwear included.

re: handbill/flyer schedule for week of May 7th
Dear Ms. (name withheld),
Thank you for taking the time this morning (May 4) to speak with me over the phone. I'm sorry we were not able to re-connect concerning the rescheduled shift that was moved to this a.m. If you have any additional handbill/flyer shifts ($10/hr) please email me with date/time/location.
As per our conversation, the Free Library of Philadelphia has approved distribution of said items at the Main Branch (20th/Vine) plus other branch locations. It is suggested a stack definitely be dropped off at the Rittenhouse Square branch location.
The Main Branch will place two flyers (showing both front/back) on the bulletin board located on the ground floor next to the elevators. They will also place a stack next to the information desk just inside the main entrance.
If you would like, I could drop off the handbills at the library locations plus other optional locations (coffee houses, record stores, and bars/taverns) in Center City and Old City where registered voters congregate.
Regards,
(name withheld)
postscript: my access to a telephone is *extremely* limited, hence the email. pls use this address for further correspondence/information.

Thanks for taking the initiative to do the library queries. I would be able to give you flyers to drop at the Rittenhouse and main branch and for some coffee houses. I can get you five hundred flyers by Tuesday, ok?? Also if you want to work on Tuesday at the Hour of Power site in center city and then do some lunch time/afternoon distribution, that would be great. Let me know.
