"We are dancing animals. We are here on Earth to fart around. Don't let anyone tell you any different." - Kurt Vonnegut

News and Updates:

I am writing stories and trolling for a new art project to get gobbled up by.

It is summer. Oh, the tyranny of a sunny day. I am useless.

Advice:
Read Alexandra Fuller's new book, The Legend of Colton H. Bryant. If you haven't read Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight, read that immediately, too.

On my wishlist:

1. One 12 - 16' aluminum fishing boat in excellent shape with a sound, strong motor with very few hours on it and all the bells and whistles required to go out and clobber fish in it.
2. A parade in my honor with dancing girls, a marching band, floats, confetti, and so on.
3. A barbecue chimney. You know. To make the coals get hot faster.
4. A fishing permit
5. Super foxy yet extremely comfortable shoes. Gold or red.
6. A kitchenaid mixer with attachments.
7. A big tent for family camping trips.
8. A trip to the Channel Islands to play with the whales.
9. A trip to the gulf of Corcovado to play with the whales.
10. A trip to Sri Lanka to play with the whales. And the elephants.
11. Season's tickets for two to see the Oregon Symphony with good seats
12. White Bird Dance tickets. Good ones.
13. New queen sized bed
14. A tea kettle
15. To easily write a great story about why I am so crazy nutso about whales anyway
16. A fishing trip on the ocean or Colombia river where I get to clobber lots of salmon and feed them to the hungry, appreciative masses
17. An iPod Nano
18. A super nice house in Overlook Park with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, garden, porch, fireplace, great kitchen, hardwood floors paid for 100%
19. To be a trapeze artist
20. A grassfed cow to eat
21. A hot air balloon ride over the serengeti during the great annual migration
22. To run a 7:30 mile
23. Lots and lots of money
24. Free access to a beach house whenever I feel like going on the oregon coast near where the gray whales hang out
