The Zamo the Destroyer Show #200

New episode of The Zamo the Destroyer Show: This week is the 200th episode of the show, but Zamo’s not celebrating, what with the cold temperatures and the only flowers to be found being inedible and poisonous ones like hellebores. Which for some reason inspire Technical Support Monkey to...

Greetings from transcript (and lazy winter flower) Hell

So, the good news is the university has gotten my transcript from the audio recording school I attended. Of course, said school doesn’t really do official transcripts so they sent a PDF of my grades records, which the university has received but put as a separate item on my...

Poem: Lapis

azure gloss gold-flecked sacred stone of another world bombed and shattered what must be hidden –truths too close to home— or lies exposed let the lioness run free again in our bricked wilderness an inner Eden if only we dare dream...

Poem: Waiting for the Flowers to Show

hellebores taunt me the verge of opening up to shine in winter’s light so close… yet still guarded against the chill maybe my impatience is a mirror my own heart like the hidden stamens there but closed off not yet for display waiting for warmer spring shine safety from...

The Zamo the Destroyer Show #199

Musicals?

Another week and what’s new? Well, work is continuing on the poetry book and the sitcom/web series with dolls thing, and I’m getting transcripts in for my university application. But the real news is I’ve had some ideas for musicals. Wait… what? Yes, musicals. The first nebulous idea was...

Pop lyrics vs. Poems

I mentioned the other day about the poetry book I’m working on. By now I have pretty much everything together, ready to move into InDesign to typeset it. I ended up ditching a lot of the minor poems and there will even be a few actual lyrics from the...

Poem: Old flame

To think I once loved you —impossible!— but I did or the person I once was did Another place old poems in old notebooks old songs I once sang I cringe now, my face red with shame But you never knew that word —you still don’t— but I did...

The Zamo the Destroyer Show #198

New episode of The Zamo the Destroyer Show: This week, Zamo and Technical Support Monkey argue about Chimpette’s incessant playing of annoying 80s pop and that “song about an elevator or whatever” which Chimpette insists is some Bonobo dude instead of “Squeaky Simon” from Duran Duran getting his monkey...

The university robots think my name is Phoenix… and other news

Another week drags on… seems like on Wednesday I had some clever idea for a blog post but I was lazy and didn’t write it so now I’ve forgotten and here we are. Well, one can argue blog posts are never as clever as the blogger might think. So...
