those are two excellent images, with excellent plants, thank you as always for sharing them with us! and the poem is short but all the sweeter for that. i really like the unexpected line break before the end and the power to feel.
i hope you had a lovely halloween! i dressed up as a zebra but didn't do much trick-or-treating. instead, i bought a small container of ben and jerry's ice cream and shared it with my partner, and we listened to all the good murder musicals - carrie, marie christine, murder ballad, heathers, and next to normal (not murder, but still). i also set up my new laptop who's definitely a girl, and possibly named star child.
gosh, i can totally see you as a teacher's assistant, i bet the kids love to have conversations with you. what age and subject have you been working with?
Sorry to butt in, but given the murder musicals and your laptop's possible name, I have to ask - do you know Ghost Quartet? Because if you don't, you should, it seems like you'd like it! And if you do, well, hi, person who knows Ghost Quartet. :)
I didn't know Ghost Quartet, but I just looked it up and it looks really cool! There weren't very many songs on youtube and the sound quality was a bit funky, but I like what I've heard. Do you know where I can find the music? (I just looked it up and you're the reason I have Marie Christine, because I saw the post where you'd recommended it to Kylee, so I definitely trust you on this one too)
The name Star Child is actually because she's aluminum which is new and exciting for me, and then i kept thinking of that one newspaper ad that starts "STAR CHILD: ARE YOU LISTENING?" that's been going around tumblr.
You can listen to all of it here! There are two versions - I recommend the live album, since it has some spoken scenes left off the studio one. The plot gets super twisted and confusing even with the scenes. Also there are lyrics here, annotated by Dave Malloy, who wrote the show. (He also wrote Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812, which I recommend even more highly. It has a much more straightforward plot, based on a few chapters of War and Peace.) (And yay, Marie Christine! Happy to have introduced you to it.)
