Why I'm glad my kitchen is too cozy for two

I just read this article about couples who cook together, and I couldn't help but think of my dear, near neighbors. It also suggests why my sister and I, who both like to be the boss in the kitchen, went out and found men who don't cook (and why it used to be so hard for us to share a stove).

Sniffle, sniffle, cough

I'm sick with a sore throat and assorted other symptoms this week. Things I'd write about if I didn't feel so tired: Pan's Labyrinth, Writers With Drinks last Saturday, Gavin Newsom, Morningside Heights, and Stephen Colbert repeatedly calling Loretta Sanchez a whore.

New work by me!

I've been having pretty good luck with getting my work accepted lately. Listenlight has published some pieces from my global warming chapbook, Don't Panic. Poems from that series should also be appearing in Coconut, soon.
