Just when I thought I was out...

... they pulled me back in!

I'm probably preaching to the peverted..er, converted but this Saturday night at the SecretRoom i'll be spinning, drinking, dancing,and spinning some more with Super-Rock-Star-DJ Nemesis!
Join us for the Siouxsie After party (show up with your ticket and 5 dollars makes ya hollah!)This will also be a Resident Evil 2 theme event (Cheat codes,life plants and hidden caches of weapons not included!)-I guess it'll be 'all your Racoon cities in Dust!'
OW! Jesus kid put down that rock! Ow.Stop it! Ok,ok no more bad puns!

Anyway we will return with our regularly scheduled cryptic and moody posts after these messages...

Rimbaud 2- First Blood!

Since i've run out of books to read, and my four color habit just isn't doing it for me right now,i've blown the dust off my old Baudelaire, Rimbaud & Verlaine reader I got for my birthday over a decade ago and revisted some dead frogs before passing out last night. It'sfun to realize how many of the nuances a 20 something me didn't pick up on at the time and going back now and rereading the prose poems I can remember the imagery and rhythm I wanted to appropiate(what an artist says instead of "stealing")into my own work.So I got French decadence on the brain right now and I thought I'd share...
"The worn-out ideas of old-fashioned poetry played an important part in my alchemy of the word.

I got used to elementary hallucination: I could very precisely see a mosque instead of a factory, a drum corps of angels, horse carts on the highways of the sky, a drawing room at the bottom of a lake; monsters and mysteries. A vaudeville's title filled me with awe.

And so I explained my magical sophistries by turning words into visions!"
-Arthur Rimbaud
Second Delerium:Alchemy of the word

Oh and one more thing...

I know, I know I can hear y'all out there right now:"Jesus H. Christ with a horse bit and a tube of lube- how many times is this guy gonna post today?"

Well here's the thing- in a reply to a post earlier today the lovely guita gave me an idea. I'm outta reading material right now, (i'm literature single so to speak and the brain is starting to get horny for words)and i'm getting paid early next week-Sooooo...since many of my friends in LJ land are such a literate bunch (literature and writting seem to come in second only to sex in the intrest section of the profiles)-recommend a book or two for me (besides a dictionary- it ain't gonna help my grammarizing none!).
Much obliged to all who respond-I'll be off line 'til tomorrow morning.
