digging ditches out of boredom.

it's march again, which apparently means it's time for another issue of recinerated.  issue #3 is smaller than the previous issues, but more a reflection of "quality vs quantity," as i note in the introduction.  i wanted to sift the most important parts from the bulk of the year's written material, and this is what was left.

the handful of scenes that compose recinerated #3 are the product of an awful year, full of questioning what it means to cross that threshold from 20-something to 30-something.  the ensuing tales are loosely themed around the metric song "live it out," as it applied to my life in 2011.

an excerpt:  "i thought i'd be doing better than this by the time i got this old. i thought i'd be doing better, or i thought i'd already be dead.  out of the two options, i'm still not entirely decided on which is more favorable.

"but in listening to this song, tonight, i nod my head - i, too, want to 'live it out.'  i just don't know how to, and i fear i'm running out of time to learn."

recinerated #3 is 24 eighth legal pages, mostly text, with a colored vellum cover (assorted colors, chosen at random).  copies can be had for $1 each postage-paid in the u.s., or $2 anywhere else.  trades are excellent, and distro consideration copies are available on request.

ordering info is as follows:

  1. this looks great. would you be interested in trading for my zine, motor city kitty? it's a perzine. my latest issue is about going on tour with my friends, attending slutwalk, and moving away from the place i just started to call home. previous issue is mostly about being a cis-lady in the midwest punk scene and a story about the 11th anniversary of my father's death. and the one before that is a split with issue 24 of culture slut by amber (fight-boredom.com)!

    my email is missteenohio@gmail.com. let me know! if not, i'll totally just buy one :)
