getting my things after a break-up

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2001.06.07

I've got a van arranged, and will be retrieving the furniture from Oma's house on Saturday. Then, on Sunday, I'm going up to Bobcaygeon to get my stuff back from Sara's parents' place. That should be fun. It's certainly going to be expensive.

I'm going into Internet withdrawal!

rand()m quote

Immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take and good poets make it into something better or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique utterly different than that from which it is torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. A good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time or alien in language or diverse in interest.

—T.S. Eliot
