So That Happened

[whereismysam]

The Sanditon Library posted some poetry on Twitter this morning because apparently today is the birthday (1048) of Omar Khayyám, Persian mathematician & poet best known for his Rubáiyát. The quote that caught my eye was, "The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on ... -Omar Khayyám"

This in turn led to a lengthy discussion about all things

Sweet! Man, I kind of wish they had waited another month to start Sanditon up. I don't have tiiiiiiime! I definitely think you should do it.

You know, you could totally do something similar to what I've decided to do. I wasn't going to do this, but the more I thought about it, the more exciting it became. I've decided I'm going to be a recent grad student who's been living on the east coast and decides to take a road trip out west to stay in Sanditon for the summer and work on my art (which I've decided is loosely defined as "whatever kind of art I want it to mean"). I caved and got myself a Sanditon-related twitter feed, and I also went and got myself a Word Press blog, so I could "keep my east coast family updated on my happenings." I am "planning" to make a stop on my out in Chicago to visit for a day. I could slip in that I'm visiting you, and that I convince you to come join me when school lets out for the summer

Awesome! If I weren't under so much pressure to finish my proposal in the next couple of weeks, I would totally join in. I just can't right now. (This is me pretending to be a responsible adult, but really, I'm just freaking out about my degree.)
