• Indie Lit Catalogue acquired my number from Ingram, which I began using because of a Salon.com post about how their affiliate, Bookshop.org, was distributing ebooks to independant bookstores. (Ingram pushes to Bookshop; one of my titles was listed with a 404 entry... "our tech team is working on getting that sorted," Bookshop's Zach H wrote on April 8). Ella Lewis' number recorded to my phone at 11:09, then my father sent a message at 11:17 saying she called him (perhaps because he has an account with Ingram too), and she called again at 11:22 saying (when I asked): 'he gave me your number.' Although Ms. Lewis denied my question about whether Indie Lit Catalogue's placement's are fee-based, her interview about Replicate This were not substantive but leading towards promotion for a $299 printing of bookmarks.
• I could not apply to the 2025 Chicago Printers Guild Publishers Fair when it opened yesterday because their Google Form requires uploading files as submission, and Google has been extorting me by blocking access to new messages on Gmail and using Drive because I can no longer afford their subscription-tier storage. 1 hour ago on Instagram via a hot pink "sweet 16" graphic CPG announced they will only accept submissions to Google for the waitlist (without replying to my email "Google Form difficulties" sent August 2nd at 4:46 PM).

10 August 2025

• The idea of a Byronic hero *is* byronic since his profile is rather more comedic in accordance with his "Don Juan"'s tone rather than its plot or conceit. Most likely his self-fashioning plus success fused with gossip percolating from Alexandra Beglitzi's debut: remembered on Wikipedia for "marriage" to Μαυροκορδάτου, it's more probable accuracy on that URL stands with his descendence from Vlad the Impaler, which a redirect posits should also be recalled as "Vlad Dracula" ("not to be confused with 'his father' Vlad Dracul, the fictional character Count Dracula, or the fungus Vladracula"). In spanglish, could we?, "Dracula" breaks into Dr. Acula (aкула is 'shark').
• Maybe there was a Vladr whose tribe hadn't surnames.

Together with literary history, psychiatric critique, and cultural discourse, you create a book that is not just academic in tone but also reflective of the ongoing tensions between power, knowledge, and human flourishing. Readers of 'Replicate This' will reconsider how theories are constructed, circulated, and legitimized across disiplines while also interrogating the intersections of psychology, literature, and cultural studies in a way that is both complex and groundbreaking."

• December 2014 Kai Apeltauer, Udi Miron, and Jan Thomas asked me to complete a sample review for GameGenetics. Because they didn't acknowledge my prompt response, they returned to court after the holidays asking "Did you have a chance to do the assignment yet?" Though promising to have email it by evening, two weeks later they followed-up now asking for a phone interview. While scheduling the call, I explained "the game download required a huge amount of desk space." Three more emails from them including a request for my updated CV and legal status before I sent a review of "Superhot" (rather than Marvel Heroes) on 20 January 2015.
• Dodge Bullets with Superhot, the Time-Bending First-Person Shooter Game Rating: 7/10 When it comes to first-person shooter games, Superhot is a gem. Cleverly conceived and superbly designed, Superhot turns gaming conventions upside-down by pairing standard shoot-em-up player controls with a warped time logic. From the outset of Superhot, you’re dropped into a gray-scale gamespace populated with an army of glowing red assassins intent on putting you down. Luckily, you have an advantage against your enemy: Time doesn’t move unless you do. In other words, you control time—which means you can dodge bullets (yes, like Neo from The Matrix) and shoot your opponents with wizard-like precision. Ultimately, the time-bending nature of the game makes this FPS more of a brain- teasing puzzle than an adrenalin-fueled test of reflexes. However, even though the game revolves around strategy and ingenuity, it still maintains the menacing mood and electrifying pacing of the shooter genre. This atmosphere is largely achieved thanks to the surreal visuals, eerie music and the demanding, disembodied narrator who guides the player through the game. Since Superhot is currently only available as prototype (the full video game is slated to launch in Summer 2015), gameplay is limited to only a few levels—a drawback that will be resolved in the expanded version. Hopefully we’ll also see deeper and more complex game functionality, such as the ability to move backwards through time or stockpile ammo. Developer[s]: Blue Brick Studios, SUPERHOT Team Platform: Windows/OS X/Linux/Xbox One Genres: First-person shooter game, indie game, Languages: English Mode: Single-player

DIY publishing such as zines complements millennial/millenarian consolidation under the Big Five: BEE's American Psycho he is not self-aware when replicating its form in an episode satirizing the vacuuity of business card aesthetics on Gordan Gecko's Wall Street. Zines became the alternative for narratologists (Byatt) with more of an artistic bent than mainstream literary credentials, reconciling the Protestant hobby of journaling for theological communion with direct democracy -- we'll pretend. In fact, an overrepresentation of judeochristian #canon in U.S. law mortgages idealisms or universalisms embedded by indexical culture that promise fidelity to the literacy of every scribbler {except Hawthorne's readers!).

There was once a VPN accessed in connection with university library navigation that was secure; a paid VPN is not data-secure unless, perhaps, facilitated using 'blockchain.' Tor is a military product; my VPN browser plugin (freeware) had technical limitations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silk_Road_(marketplace)

Me not checking my Protonmail on Purism because of Firefox ("update" issues) is why security lapsed. And I declined Shabbat. Jamieson was arriving and I couldn't imagine wrangling the encounter for him with rabbis after they declined my request to invite a platonic friend.

By saying to James Goudreault about my artistic disciplines including music I was not pretending ability to fill out Green City Market's Google Doc application to play that during shopping hours; or their predisposition ('expectation') for that from me.

Likewise I excused myself at Patchwork Farms' ask on painting signs during volunteer hour to eg pick up trash.

David Zac hired me for a role even though I can't speak Spanish and then invited me to a dress rehearsal even though I missed a cue and then when I mentioned willingness to stage manage despite several scheduling conflicts he declined! (There were two free tickets in the middle I forwarded to The Brecht Project!)

The Neo-Futurists call for $500!

Not a collector of my own work, I backup my backups. Neocities permits one download of the entire site per hour.

Something I appreciate about ZluC was having not thought about any of the people on the meetings or in chat during off-time until today, for appreciating a usage of "outer" with "space."

I accientally transferred the ISBN money from Chase.com to a defunct Schwab account rather than the new one; chatting with the bank about it. Assuming it's returned, that will have set aside the funds.

Schwab says: "I see your Schwab Bank account ending in -646 was closed in 2024. Any funds attempted to be deposited into this account will be bounced back into the external account within 1-3 business days"

Today I spelled "Gertrude Stein" and noted how my work is "if a tree falls in the forest." Over the winter I made a mural on the backwall facing my typewriter that used to have pinned-up collage, dipping tiny inked brushes into the perforation resulting in a constellation. Its surrounding permanent installations were less successful.

Summer 2023 I bought two editions of the same book at an antiquarian shop on New Bond Street: one had been in the possession of Eric Walter White previously; the other was local? My point is, what I believe was his stab at inscription/emendation for margins of the one copy was seemingly transcribed into their other without explanation.

Reportedly {no thanks to Verso} born in Marburg, its scribner was also linked to Hesse -- becoming a Nazi officially in 1933; Vladimir Nabokov resided in Berlin from 1922-1937.

I was just yesterday remembering out loud for someone making coffee at Ben & Seth's seder after skipping 9th Street... Paris Review's interview series debuted as "The Art of Fiction" with E.M. Forster in 1953. The novel is not 'of love' without being made to be so, would be a conclusion about Gornick; for more about "The Art of War" *check out mah malle!* (Cartman)

'Translation would be an issue if it weren't a novel_of_love.' Kundera's had that awful line about bridal judgement demanding normativity.

I am interested in the relationship -- it was not manifest friendship but rather one-sided rivalry by the 1997 text -- between Kathy Acker and Chris Kraus; how did Blood and Guts in High School's author's estate participate in Wark and Chraus' 2015 pub?

The art piece won't be included with the other Xines digitized for this; however I am considering loaning it, and the entire portfolio, to Walls Turned Sideways indefinitely.

Quimby's Chicago was invited to ZLuC.

Unfortunate news this weekend about Bluestockings closing found a twist when I noticed Raquel Espasande had signed up to ZLuC 2025 with their affliation from The New School. The last time I visited must have been for an Occupy-era panel with Doug Henwood, whose behavior warrented mention. For awhile I read his Facebook use.

I went to back to therapy in New York because of a curiousity about why New Yorker's coverage of psychoanalysis was uncritical (plus my first-year Writing the Essay prof — teaching Freud, Woolf, and Kafka — had a dual PhD in Lit and Psych ). There was someone with a New Yorker issue at MIP's waiting room after me. Ilana Simons cancelled the last few weeks of class, offering for us to write papers with that time: "but you have to write the papers." I couldn't (the Freudian reading of "Family Guy" was enough for me).

SENSITIVITY WARNING "The page titled “Ant” on poetrymag.org is a surreal, collage-style digital text that blends poetic imagery with references to scientific research, government programs, and media. Here’s a breakdown of what’s on the page: 🐜 Title: “Ant” The page opens with a fragmented narrative involving Whitney, a name linked to EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit known for its work on emerging infectious diseases. It references a 2018 DARPA PREEMPT application, a real U.S. defense program aimed at preventing pandemics. There’s mention of James “Jim” Gimlett, a program manager at DARPA’s Biological Technologies Office, and a link to Gimlet Media, suggesting a play on names and institutions. 🧬 Themes and Style The writing is nonlinear and experimental, mixing: Bureaucratic language Poetic fragments Scientific and military references Media and pop culture nods It reads like a digital performance piece, possibly satirical or critical of institutional structures. 🔍 Interpretation The title “Ant” may symbolize collective behavior, surveillance, or biological study, echoing themes of control, observation, and systemic complexity. The page seems to be part of a broader avant-garde literary or conceptual art project, not a traditional poem or article." / "🧩 What You’re Exploring The page titled “Ant” is part of a broader genre of conceptual web literature — a fusion of: Poetry and bureaucracy Surrealism and metadata Science, surveillance, and satire It’s not just text — it’s interface as narrative. The layout, hyperlinks, and embedded references are part of the storytelling. You’re reading a poem, but also navigating a system. 🔍 How to Decode It Here’s how you can approach pages like this: Treat it like a puzzle: Names like Whitney and Jim Gimlett may be real or fictionalized — Google them, trace their connections. Follow the links: they often lead to real institutions (DARPA, EcoHealth Alliance) but are used in poetic or ironic ways. Look for patterns: Repeated phrases, acronyms, and timestamps often mimic government documents or scientific papers. These patterns can reveal themes: control, contagion, identity, or digital decay. Read it as performance: The page itself is a stage. The text may be part of a larger digital play, like Nika Mavrody’s 5-act audiobook project. Think of it as a monologue delivered through HTML. 🧠 Want More Like This?
