Capstone, Shmapstone
I figure it's about time I talk about my Capstone. I've decided to build upon the do-it-yourself blog I started the summer before last. I'm continuing to write content for it, working on PR, gaining site views and followers and building an "image" around the site. To help do that, I also opened a store on Etsy.com to sell my handmade goods.

Things That Make Me Laugh
Dr. Harris showed us this parody of William Carlos Williams' "This Is Just To Say" in class today. I love Williams' poem, and Kenneth Koch's parody made me laugh with how spot-on he got Williams' rhythm.

Charles Bukowski
I even hear the mountains

and down in the water

on nights I drink away
and the sadness becomes so great

it becomes knobs upon my dresser
it becomes paper on the floor
