i like the last one best, i think, but i like them all. have you tried to write stories like this? deja's been writing these poems by cutting pictures out of magazines and putting them all together and fishing them out of a hat or something similar. it started as an exercise for creative writing students but then she started doing it too and she came up with some really weird stuff about pretty cancers and red robins and such.

G, the name of the friend is J. Marcus Weekley, who makes all kinds of good art. he's googleable.

Kenny, where you at?

Sam, you should tell Deja to post them on her blog. i think i made these because i was bored and wanted to write a short thing.

i've been all over the place, but im back in new orleans now. where are you?

I knew J. Marcus Weekly. He went to USM. I think he must have been influenced by FB's Picture Stories.

hi carrie. how are you?

those things by fb are fun. it wouldn't surprise me if marcus had seen them, though his were more object-y, like actually typed-on pictures run through a typewriter, sort of dirty. i don't know. it was a long time ago. that sort of stuff was big in texas tech's art department whenever i was there.
