We heard this song from the banks of the river where the green glass siren slept

I am so tired, I spent all night dreaming about being unable to sleep.

I got out of bed and found my poems "Blueshift" (for time_shark) and "Natural Phenomena" (about sirens and their listeners) have been accepted by, respectively, Goblin Fruit and Not One of Us. I am meeting rushthatspeaks at Kickass Cupcakes in a couple of hours.

I'm okay with being awake.

AND THE HITS KEEP COMING!

I don't know why I never remember to send poetry to Not One of Us... If "The Golden Stringed Guitar" fails there, I should shine one up and send it.

Speaking of which, MD still reading? I should go check.

Art, friendship, and carbohydrates!

Yay!

Er -- Unless there's something you're not telling me, I'm pretty sure that "Blueshift" was accepted by Goblin Fruit earlier today.

(I am extremely amused.)

I'm impressed. Congratulations, and enjoy the cupcakes...

That's excellent!

I had an amazingly long dream about Loki...a considerably less Marvel-like version, one was cruel in inventive ways, but also capped the dream by transforming a version of Thor he'd cursed in babyhood back to an adult so that he could participate in some sort of punchline Loki had just invented, ie: "Too bad you won't appreciate this 'till you're older again...oh, fuck it."

The night before, meanwhile, I dreamed about this very specific landscape I visit every now and then, which is simultaneously wild and unforgiving yet somehow familiar--a bit like Scotland, a bit like Tasmania, a bit like Northern Ontario. There are cliffs and a lake, woods with pine-needle carpeting and big rocks, an overhanging, dark and varicoloured sky, lots of grey and green and black, with vast ruined buildings and weirdly decayed small-town streets. Sometimes I wonder whether this is someplace I'm going to end up, and if so, if I really want to. There's not a lot of company.

Yesss!

I would make Kate Beaton's "Awww Yissss" duck into an icon, to use on occasions like these, but... it's just not that photogenic, alas.

Have you broken your landspeed record with the second one?

I raise a pint of cheap, cheap, cheap rainbow sherbet to you.

Great news! (Well, except for the lack of sleep...) Can't wait to read the poems.

Kickass Cupcakes'... have you compared them to Finale cupcakes?
(cool beans on the poetry)

Congratulations on the poetry acceptances and cupcakes!

I'm sorry for the tiredness, but I'm glad for the things that make you okay with being awake.

I hope you have a good evening.

I'm looking forward to a night where my ear won't keep me awake.

(Which may or may not be tonight :-P)
