Woke up this morning looking like Chris Cornell (Sadie cut my hair yesterday). The moustache and goatie didn't help.
So the Astros are out of the playoff race. Good, I can stop listening how we were going to surprise the nation, turn around our losing streaks and make it to the World Series and how Roger Clemens is God. The Houston Texans won their first game in nine years. We're still going to get the #1 draft pick. At least the Houston Dynamo will make the MLS play off this year (yes, the Rockets and the Dynamo are the only teams worth a damn in Houston).
Get Your War On was entertaining, but there wasn't much to it. I read the comic strip by David Rees a couple of times in alternative newspapers and enjoyed it, but the play could not keep its satirical and ironic tone very long without veering into earnestness, which made it seem very heavy-handed.
This is probably going to be my last post for a week. I am heading to St. Louis for my first actual poetry reading
on October 5th at the Observable Readings at Schlafly Bottleworks, curated by Aaron Belz. I will be reading with my clone Ray Hsu (who mentioned the AWP cloning incident when he introduced Matthea Harvey and Rob Casper for a reading in Madison, WI).
Ray Hsu is the author of Anthropy (Nightwood Editions, 2005), which won the Gerald Lampert Award. His poems have appeared in Fence, New American Writing, and The Walrus. He is a Ph.D. candidate in literary studies at theUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison 
And
François Luong is a fictional character on the popular soap opera Days of Our Lives, played by Ray Hsu. François Luong has a career in acting. He also pursued modeling at one point. François Luong is best known for his portrayal of Dr. Ray Hsu in the fictional soap opera General Hospital.
And we also made the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the St. Louis Riverfront Times (can't find the clipping from the latter though).
I need to make my reading list now.
