-I actually started writing a poem for the first time in a thousand years and my computer ate it: no compliment to my cooking, since it'll eat any damn thing. :( Bah! It might have been worthwhile! it was all, 'weaning yourself off of big bad colors' and 'epilogues' and 'coin-operated seashores' sort of. Ummmmm. Damn. That's frustrating ( Read more... )

Yes, it has been over a month (a month of Inconsequential Frenzy) since I've been LJ-attentive. It is frustratingly October. I forget how weird autumn here is. For the first eighteen years of my life autumn meant school supplies & traipsing through the arboretum (hoping for a string of dry days so the leaves were crunchy) picking up weird seed-pods ( Read more... )

it was just another sunny (cold!) morning at Marlboro! Thank you very much shadows+windows = perfect unison, I could never get that down in dance class even when I thought it made sense for me to dance. Windows facing...er ( Read more... )

It continues... :/ These aren't--...

I really am only here for one purpose and that is to make a plea to all the xxxHolic fans on my flist, and that is what the hell? D: D: D: ( E-excuse me?! Spoilers. )

With my persistent taste for capital-B Balance (of the kind that does not exist) I'll tell you, I really did worry that what with my summer going so well my autumn would suck out loud. This: it's not the case. OK. Why? Well, I've spent the last week or so reading the Iliad and now the Odyssey, so I'm flipping through the catalog trying to pick the ( Read more... )

T identified Odysseus with Dick Cheney in class. Twice. How am I supposed to get through the Odyssey now??? Thanks so much, sir. :( I guess I will do it the same way I'm getting through tonight's bad translation of the Aeneid. It's mother%$#@in' oolong time ( Read more... )

is that they're (as I've said) puny as all get-out but as such you can't stop sneaking glances at 'em. Like if in the distance you can spot, say, the Cascades, you can take a look at those and acknowledge that between you and whatever's beyond them is this huge spiky mass of miles of rock, and just go about your business. These 'mountains', they're ( Read more... )

Oh, my...it's been two months and then a little more since I last wrote in LJ--regrets! the reason for that, though, is that it's been a tremendous sort of summer. Worked, read, thought, wanted stuff, daydreamed about Dionysus singing 'Heard it Through the Grapevine', complained of the heat and wrote and screamed myself hoarse. The last is good ( Read more... )

Aaaaaaa! aa. Must repeat that The Pillowman is excellent, excellent and you have got to come see it if at all possible--if this is decent advertising, I'm not desensitized to it yet, and I've seen the thing pretty much in full over a dozen times by now. Not to mention been in a few bits with the DIY Crucify! unicycle base + chainsaw stories. doesn' ( Read more... )
