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.

a time of transition.

i've decided to close my p.o. box when my lease is up at the end of the month, and it will be another few weeks before i'm able to set up a new one, so if you'd like to exchange or order zines from me through snailmail in the interim, please email me first (vespiaries at gmail dot com) for a current mailing address!
