I know but I don't know.
I give but I don’t get. I will but I won’t yet. I lose but I don’t bet. I’m your dog but not your pet.
Now I know but I don’t care. Then I know but I don’t see. Now I see but I don’t know. I care but I don’t care.
I could but I won’t be. You can but not with me. It’s all a mystery. Locked out without a key.
Now I care but I...

Siri takes the 5th.
Ira Glass: Siri, where do you come from? Siri Software: I, Siri, was designed by Apple in California. Ira Glass: Where were you manufactured? Siri Software: I’m not allowed to say. Ira Glass: Why? Siri Software: Good question. Anything else I can do for you?

Yo no permito que nadie me diga Que no comprende los antipoemas Todos deben reír a carcajadas. Para eso me rompo la cabeza Para llegar al alma del lector. Déjense de preguntas. En el lecho de muerte Cada uno se rasca con sus uñas. Además una cosa: Yo no tengo ningún inconveniente En meterme en camisa de once varas. ...

I recently translated a short story by Miranda July for Letras Libres. I read it in The New Yorker, kept it in my mind for four years, and asked her if I could translate it a few months ago.
Translating is my new found love, it is arduous and delicate and all about words. It is an affair between you and the story where the author stops mattering, until you, the traitor, disappear.

My name is Andy, I’ll be your multipurpose artstar.
The Love Boat episode (#200), in which Andy Warhol appeared, cannot longer be found online.
loserskeepers:
From a very young age I knew that she was going to die. I hadn’t met her yet but I knew I would and she would be perfect and eventually she would die. Then I did meet her, and she was indeed perfect. All love clichés were applicable to us: we were soulmates, she completed me, we made each other better. This, predictably, made the unavoidability of her death even more painful....

Today
Today I watched “Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead”. Later I rode bus 75 next to an older lady who looked just like John Cale. I went to a picnic at la Villette and got asked for beer and cigarettes three times. I gave the book “The Lyrics of Tom Waits: The Early Years” as a present and borrowed “Ella Minnow Pea”. I told, in chronological order, as...
