New Last Name, New Superman Movie, New Blog... Hold onto Your Bellybuttons, That's a Whole Lotta New

Well, Basalil is now the fourth Zephyrs to ever grace this planet. That's right, I'm married, and who wouldn't want to inherit such an incredibly made-up last name? Zephyrs: like the Greek god of wind. It goes quite well with the similarly made-up first name Basalil. It also fits well with my real name: Jessica Zephyrs. Do you like it?

So I decided it is time to establish a new blog.

In an attempt to be more scholarly, globaly aware, and all-in-all out of the sticks, I will try to also establish a ring of local (Springfield, MO... maybe even an area as wide as the "midwest") writers and poets who exchange ideas and news and writing through blogs, and considering that most of the writers who have already committed their souls to this project have blogger accounts, a Blogger blog is, for no other reason than stated above, necessary. We'll see how this project falls apart.
(I'm a writer. I'm incapable of being optimistic.) :)

In a further attempt to bore my small audience and to keep myself on top of things, I will also update on my honors project which began last week and will end sometime in the spring of '07.
What's Basalil's honors project?
Oh, I knew you wanted to know. Well, in short I'm reading books by three comtemporary poets of my choosing, studying everything about their writing that I can think to study, interviewing them because they're still alive, and then writing about this process and findings. In the interim, I'll be writing my own poetry and about that process.
Man, that was sssoooo entertaining.

My uterus is schluffing (sp?). I bet that's more entertaining.

In other news:
I am reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer, and it's amazing so far. (Yay, I got to use more hyperbolic adjectives/adverbs.)
I am looking for a job. Hint, hint, you Springfield employers. My skills: uterus battling.
Joe and I are planning a day hiking trip. For details, ask Joe. He's the one who's actually planning.
I make delicious quiche.
And flat bread.
Joe makes delicious coffee with lots of cool whip.

I'm losing the utero battle. I must go and defend the battlegrounds.

A la sinistra,

Basalil
