i wrote and posted wax traps this morning at about…one or two i think. it’s the first sort of free consciousness writing i’ve done in quite a while. i think it turned out very well.

i was watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas on tv when i wrote it. in my opinion the movie is not as good when dr. gonzo is dubbed over saying “i’m gonna goldurn kill you you crap face [mouth moving no words coming out].” but at least they didn’t edit the interesting stuff. like raoul’s little gems: “a drug person can learn to handle such things as seeing their dead grandmother crawling up their leg with a knife in her teeth. but no one should be asked to deal with this trip.” i read the book before i saw the movie…i think they did a fantastic job. and i’m glad i read the book first. someone needs to by the dvd for me…

i believe the movie influenced wax traps…at least at first. a little. maybe not at all. wax traps is a little more coherent than the movie…

i highly recommend “Brushing Brushing” on cora’s (drivelautumn) blog. it’s the may 16 post. she’s stealing my ideas before i even get them! she also found an interesting site, engine heart. the author has more poems than me, and writes good short stories. it needs to be viewed, even if you hate reading. the site layout is worth it.
