Went to Wilco last night at the Town Hall. They played a two and a half hour set, not counting the encore, and kept a pretty consistent level of energy and quality throughout. That's quite a feat.

I know I was supposed to post a pantoum on Tuesday. I thought about it, but then I thought, wouldn’t it be more interesting to try and create my own poetic form. Then I thought that’s a bit presumptious. Then I thought what if I came up with some parameters and let the roll of the dice determine the specifics (number of lines, the rhyme scheme etc). Then I found this site which lets you create poems based on tons of different forms. Then I saw it was aimed mostly at kids and decided I needed some time away from the computer.

Speaking of time away, I leave early on Saturday morning for the States. Doing a two week road trip from San Francisco , through Yosemite, King’s Canyon and Sequoia National Parks

Have a very fine time!
At the moment I'm reading Other Colors by Orhan Pamuk, and it keeps making me think of you. Firstly he spends a lot of time talking about writing and reading. And he also of course spends a lot of time talking about Istanbul. All in all, pretty good times.
