Unless you disagree, help me out

This weekend. A lot of stress. Which is why on Saturday I booked an hour in the Japanese wooden hot tub at Inman Oasis for myself and derspatchel, which we bracketed with dinner at the Friendly Toast and a successful look in at Lorem Ipsum (rushthatspeaks THE CLERK SOLD ME THE IAIN SINCLAIR POETRY ANTHOLOGY FOR LESS THAN HALF THE STICKER PRICE THAT SORT OF THING NEVER HAPPENS EXCEPT I GUESS WITH IAIN SINCLAIR), and last night we watched another double feature of misunderstood film with Titan A.E. (2000) and Mystery Men (1999).

I don't see the stress letting up any time soon, but it would be nice. A lot of things are fun to do even when they aren't coping mechanisms.

Which Sinclair?

Conductors of Chaos: A Poetry Anthology (1996). It's his secret history of British poetry of the twentieth century. I haven't heard of most of the poets, although I approved months ago of his inclusion of David Jones. The book was an extremely expensive, bashed-up, just-shy-of-five-hundred-page paperback which I kept checking the price of longingly every time I was in the store and then regretfully replacing again. This time I asked if it would ever go for less than the sticker and to my great shock the clerk asked me to name a price. I named slightly less than half, figuring it would get bargained up again. He sold it to me.

That poetry anthology sounds wonderful.

I hope there will soon be less stress!
