a tale of the tribune

I had a job delivering the Albuquerque Tribune. Here's a story about that job, about the influence the Trib has had in my life. The influence had as much to do with the physical object as it did with the words printed on it. After school… Continue

after the jump

After the jump, I will tell you a story. It's available to read and then you can do whatever you want with it; remember it sentimentally, process it and relate it to your own life and experiences, dismiss it as lacking meaning or being verbose. You can even use it to fly. I recko… Continue

Oye Sr. Carillo,

Is that Mars in your DCF profile header??

Also noticed you are listening to Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde .... and it reminded me of a book I enjoyed a few years ago called "Songs of Earth and Power" by Greg Bear. For some reason I never tied the two together (Das Lied von der Erde) and the title of the book. Even though Gustav Mahler was a charachter in the book... anyway, just a stream of consciousness...

I enjoy your writing.

I love the Bonzo Dog Band video. I used to listen to them when I was a young pup. They were a well-mannered limey version of the Mothers of invention.

So far, in our new semi-blind methodology exquisite corpse, only two group members of our fabulous, talented collected collective have contributed. And I know there’s a brilliant submission in each of y’all. So, I’m extending the submission non-deadline and making a plaintive plea for your creative input.

The Theme®: ants, an apple tree, childhood memories, the dentist, a solar eclipse, a theremin, a third-story window, and acetone.

The two last sentences that we have thus far are:

"I know what I must do." – Freekbuoy

"That night I dreamed the car went over the edge and we were falling and falling." – Sleeplessgrl

I’m going to leave the submission process upon for another week, in the hope that over members will contribute; remember, you can contribute a sentence, a paragraph, or however much you feel like contributing. I’m hoping that y’all will consider contributing at least a paragraph (3 sentences or more) to this corpse. So, next Sunday night, I will post the finished corpse.

As a reminder, the submission process for our new submission process is to e-mail your submission as a Word (.doc) file to me at samantha.anne.scott (at) gmail (dot) com.

I hope to hear from y’all soon. Until then, stay creative.

Lurve,
Samantha Anne
