I know that I said I was going to dribble out the poetry, in order to prolong the period that I did not need to be creative. However, today I am giving a special two-for-one offer, for three reasons: 1) As I also mentioned, I am cleaning my room out (a not at all fun task fyi), and poetry I put on the Internet(s) is poetry I can get rid of the ( Read more... )

Yes indeed, I have left Corvallis. Fie upon those of you who secretly thought I would never make it. Albertt does a better job of recounting our epic moving-out journey, so I will not bother ( Read more... )

This was written for a poetry program put on by Nick Graham (my RA) freshman year at OSU. The prompt was to work in the words "fire," "enlighten," and "painting." I channeled something quite interesting here I think ( Read more... )

Gary Gygax, one of the co-founders of the Dungeons & Dragons game, died yesterday. Although I did not begin playing D&D regularly until last year, he has still had a profound impact upon my life. Sometime when I was in elementary school I was in the library, perusing my favorite spot, YA Sci-Fi (Young Adult Science Fiction), when what should I ( Read more... )

I have finally set up a base camp here in Cauthorn. I have the essentials, clothes and computer, but my computer is of the laptop variety, so as to be more convenient. I think I have decided to do without my desktop, as it is a metric pain in the neck to move, but the jury is still out on my TV and fridge. On one hand this is good practice for ( Read more... )

Okay, a couple got married right outside my window 10 minutes ago! Wow!! I sat at my window and watched, it was very cool. Even though the wedding was steriotypically evangellical (I can't explain, either you understand what I'm saying or you don't) it was so weird watching people get married. It gave me the heebie-jeebies, in a kind of sweet, ( Read more... )

Stupid birds. Duty = disinfectant. Solved the loud music plus stranger problem, a friend and I sat on the bench by Milam and listened from there, couldn't see Amadon, but that isn't the point is it, the way they blast music made that optimal listening distance. I feel that I enjoy Amadon's CD music better than the live music, but the bass and/or ( Read more... )

I am posting my weekend plans here, I have an exciting weekend I think (barring unbelievably unlikely disasters the likes of which I seem to have every so often). If you are interested feel free to read, but I wanted to write it out so I get it straight in my head. Here's how it will break down. Tomorrow is Friday, and I kind of have classes all ( Read more... )
