THE SIDEBAR


1.28.2003
Japhy Notes: First week of school at Brooklyn College. The benefit of night classes is that the students tend to be more of the wayward hipster variety and less of the well- boring variety. Professors are great and of course, I go to the only school in the world where the school bells peal out the "Theme From Mahogany" instead of a passing bell. Seriously. Found a title for the collection of short stories I am working on. Title is, "The Human Drift", which is the title of a short essay by Jack London about the migratory nature of man. Read it here. The short stories, which I will realistically try to get published separately, run on a ludicrously simple concept: I'm writing each story for a friend of mine. It's not a story about them, but rather, the kind of story they would like to read. Of course, knowing me I will manage to do it in a way that will guarantee they will never speak to me again once they read it. Still, it's fun, it's easy, it keeps me writing. Also- I am working with a few people to develop an online arts magazine that will, instead of having a regular staff, will be created each issue by a group of young artists (writers, photographers, fashion, etc...). If you have any interest, especially the bloggers out there, let me know. It's meant to be fun and by virtue of rotating the staff, not too much pressure. Other than that- I need to clean my room. And get a haircut. And a real job.
