Here's my AlphaSmart 3000 after changing the color to titanium with SEM Color Coat (Thanks Vance!). It feels much less like a toy now. If I were doing this over I might pick a color that is not quite so conservative. It looks a little too much like office furniture now!
Reprocessed this old shot of the Writer's Villa in Helsinki and found out the tones were not too bad after all!

I don't have writer's block but I do have the worst friggin tooth ache. I'm slightly stoned and numb from all the painkillers. Its my wisdom tooth forcing its way through my gum, the ultimate battle. Well it hurts!
Montblanc Writers edition Votaire set. Set on a china plate, as the only French reference I could make with props here in the house was that the French like to eat. :)

"It was a dark and stormy ...." No, that's not it. "The bright moonlight illuminated the ...." Nope, not workin'. "Then she came along and like a beautiful zamboni flooded his heart with warmth ..." Ok, I give up.

▶ "Beer," a poem by Bukowski, in his 1977 anthology, "Love is a Dog from Hell."
"I don't know how many bottles of beer
I have consumed while waiting for things
to get better
I dont know how much wine and whisky
and beer
mostly beer
I have consumed after
splits with women-
waiting for the phone to ring
waiting for the sound of footsteps,
and the phone to ring
waiting for the sounds of footsteps,
and the phone never rings
until much later
and the footsteps never arrive
until much later
when my stomach is coming up
out of my mouth
they arrive as fresh as spring flowers:
"what the hell have you done to yourself?
it will be 3 days before you can fuck me!"
the female is durable
she lives seven and one half years longer
than the male, and she drinks very little beer
because she knows its bad for the figure.
while we are going mad
they are out
dancing and laughing
with horney cowboys.
well, there's beer
sacks and sacks of empty beer bottles
and when you pick one up
the bottle fall through the wet bottom
of the paper sack
rolling
clanking
spilling gray wet ash
and stale beer,
or the sacks fall over at 4 a.m.
in the morning
making the only sound in your life.
beer
rivers and seas of beer
the radio singing love songs
as the phone remains silent
and the walls stand
straight up and down
and beer is all there is."

My friend Alayne is a writer. I told her I wanted to take her author portrait. If she were to write the next great American novel, I wanted this to be the portrait inside the jacket cover. I set up a little studio in my living room, took a few photos, printed out my favorite, and handed her some pens, asking her to write a poem around her. This was the result.

The 30ft high installation of a giant table and chair which nestles behind Parliament Hill on Hampstead Heath has drawn considerable critical and public acclaim since it was officially unveiled on 22 June this year. Italian artist Giancarlo Neri considers his work The Writer to be a monument to the loneliness of writing and says he was inspired by the atmosphere and literary traditions of the Heath. The sculpture, which was first displayed in Rome, uses six tons of steel, 1,000 pounds of wood, 200 gallons of paint and several hundred nuts and bolts to hold it together.
......she's learned how to use a pen I better teach her how to write on paper! She's writing a book called dog tales.
