Unconscious Mutterings Week 378
You Say.... I think:
Dogs Dream in Splotches
Dogs dream in splotches
all my dreams are linear
I wish for them the color
of my dreams— but I want novellas
not epics.
I want my dreams to stay in one place
for a while— my mind is weary
of the night time journeys;
I long for one that cuddles up to me
not orders me to march in night madness
bayonet at my back across continents
for years on end... Just a little smudge will do—
till morning comes.

The Darnedest Things
The rain seems to have settled in for a spell. Ominous looking sky moved in and had sort of frozen in place like it moved in to stay. When I was out earlier it was a bit muggy but inside there is the chill that one normally associated with a damp chilly day and there seems no in between.
My daughter called from Arizona and asked if I saw their Governor on the news. If you’ve caught any news in the past 24 hours you’ve probably seen her, Governor Jan Brewer. My daughter’s voice wasn’t beaming with pride in the Governor but rather embarrassment maybe…
The law essentially instructs local law enforcement to seek out illegal immigrants in the state. It establishes an authority for them to ask for documentation where they believe the person appears to perhaps be an illegal (undocumented person) in this country. Interestingly enough the Governor believes that while she doesn't know what an illegal looks like, she is pretty confident others in the state do. Listen to the video clip below.
Oh… I also fount this hysterical… The Sue Lowden Health Care Plan. Sue is running for Senate against Harry Reid in Nevada. Anyway, time to get back to my regularly scheduled weekend.

Hugo House to Host Their First Writers' Conference
The Richard Hugo House will be hosting their first ever writers' conference over the weekend of May 21-23 and boy, have they got some good stuff in store for participants. The conference will include panels and workshops, among other festivities, to the theme of Finding Your Readers in the 21st Century.
Not only are we in the middle of a terrible economy, but the modern publishing world as we know it is going through a historical transition and looking fairly uncertain for many professionals and book lovers. Local bookstores are closing; our favorite magazines and newspapers are increasingly becoming thinner; the industry has seen hundreds of lay offs; and as this decade's most popular saying goes, "Everything is moving to the web."

Mad Poets Society create a camaraderie - Life - Delco News Network
Mad Poets Society create a camaraderie - Life - Delco News Network
By JOE McALLISTER - Correspondent
Like any driven artist, Eileen D’Angelo believes in dualism. “I’m a paralegal by day and a mad poet by night,” says the director of the Mad Poets Society, a non-profit arts organization that has grown from a handful of poets at Media Borough Hall to over 100 members spread out over the five county area.
Like their logo shows (a wind-blown, mad-hatted poet struggling against the elements with a hand full of penned poems – an illustration of the odds facing most poets), the Mad Poets have 100 events scheduled for 2010 and that’s a whole lot of organizational onomatopoeia. With April deemed National Poetry Month, local wordsmiths see it, literally, as an opportunity to spread the good word.
“The media gets involved and the public remembers there are beautiful words out there,” says D’Angelo of Glenolden. “The focus is put not only the art of poetry but the purpose of poetry: to capture and make sense of the world around us.” Full Story
