Have you seen those new Taco Bell commercials? They go kind of like: "Hey Jim, how was lunch at Taco Bell?" "Hmm, well if I were to eat another bite, it would be positively grotesque!" Jim is but the first of a series of people leaping up from sofas, standing on car hoods, etc., all shouting "I'm FULL!" or some synonymous expression. Obviously, somewhere in the domain of Taco Bell, the people's

My newest poem. Prose. Thing. It's quite a bit better than the last, I think. The blue vessel sits, solitary and neglected, downstairsSilver spokes reflecting dimly the light of the single window Surrounded by so many other things neglected and forgotten -But it is not their season. My soul cries out as if to some departed loverSummer, where have you gone?For I loved you while you remained,

I had forgotten how beautiful the rain was. I hadn't remembered the magic of water, pelting down from the sky, sprinkling your hair and reminding your skin that it's alive.I had forgotten, as so many have, the wonder of accepting the fact you're going to get wet, of the release of knowing your clothes will be damp, but they'll dry out, and in the meantime you can enjoy the drops that smell so

So the weather has finally reflected the turning towards the autumnal equinox - and the very first day post-fair, too, which shows a little more taste than is usually seen on behalf of the usual Pacific Northwestern weather. Unfortunately, that also meant that this morning I had to clothe myself in not only sweats-and-tee-shirt garb, but also don my fleece bathrobe... neither of which has made me

Okay. Preface this by saying, first of all, that I am incredibly excited about Shyamalan's Avatar: The Last Airbender.However, that isn't going to be in 3D.And James Cameron makes EPIC films.

So. Went for a nice bike ride over to the park, met up with a friend of mine, and then went from there to another park across the way... except, en route, I did a little bike stumble and managed to gash my finger really nicely (and skin my other knuckles as well). Long story short, ended up having to get picked up by my dad, go home, and F***ING SCRUB AT MY GAPING WOUND with a BRISTLE BRUSH to

The twenty-first of December is the first day of winter on the Gregorian calendar. It is also the winter solstice.The winter solstice - the shortest, darkest day of the year, the day Earth is the furthest away in its orbit around the sun - has been celebrated the world over, through many different ceremonies and festivals alike. Usually the festivities are aimed towards convincing the deities of

I went with my dad to his office so that he could take the carpool lane. While waiting for him to return from his meeting, I finished my book... and so, thinking of my poetry class, wrote the following two poems.Visit To an OfficeAn unknown street,A mystery house,An alien town.Wandering through doorwaysDown hallways, alleys,Wandering without purposeWithout meaningIn an unknown land.Strange pale

Here's a poem I wrote during my poetry class while the teacher rambled on about inconsequential things.

God, you ever get to that point where you're so tired of stupid movies, and then you see a Shakespeare, and it's like water after a desert?That's how I felt after I watched Much Ado About Nothing. It was so refreshing to see a cohesive, coherent, plausible movie, with completely solid characters, played by actors who completely understood their roles and the spirit of Shakespeare. It was just...

One of the traits in my ideal man is that he will know when commenting during a movie isn't okay. There are times when the movie is spinning such a great atmosphere that I want to lose myself in it, and someone beside me commenting on the scene tends to ruin that atmosphere. No questions about the film, please; no clarifying, no jokes, no comments. Allow the epicness of the film to stand alone.

Ended up seeing Kung Fu Panda on Thursday night. Surprisingly enough, I really enjoyed the film. Jack Black's voice acting wasn't nearly as distracting as I thought it was going to be.

Here. Have a poem.The rhythm of the lines -Steady - beat, beat.Blue bars on a page,Thick beats on a drum.Versatility in motion,In sound, in sight.Touch the bitter colorsTaste the silken verbsSee the rhythms inside;Hammering at the walls,Scratching at my throat.Dry birds, thick wingbeats,Buzzing at my fingertips -Beat, beat, beat...Steady as a motor,As a pulse in my wrist.Hear the shift in

It was a D&D game, and my character hadn't been introduced yet. I officially despise being a mere level 1 char.

Okay. You want to know how the Indiana Jones movie was?Television Without Pity's review sums it up absolutely perfectly. I don't need to add anything to it. It could have been my review, that's how much it jives with my opinion.

Just finished going through the archives of the Zebra Girl webcomics. It's really interesting to see the difference between the older and the newer comics - the artist has really come a long ways in terms of storytelling, layout, and detail skills. I totally approve, and look forward to seeing more from him.I continue to like the playlist I made in this post. Listen to it on random, and it is

It's really interesting to read about how the human race distinguishes colors, and fascinating to find out how we learn them.New knowledge is FUN!ALSO. I've desired (like so many) to fly for quite a few years now. Thanks to this guy here, I finally can.

It's so loud, here, in the city. I open my window at night, and hear the white noise of the freeway and the impatient blaring of horns. The dirt in the air, kicked up by thousands of tires daily, coats everything in dust and grime, even up to a mile away.It's not right. I want to hear the wind through the trees, smell the pollen in the evenings. I don't want to look up at night and see the orange

I'm not actually going to join the group on Facebook that has these, but I found a funny list of actions you can do in the classroom to eliminate boredom. I'll post a few of my favorites:Carve a bust of your professor out of cheese. Tie a ribbon around it, and present it to him/her at the beginning of class. Demand extra credit.Whenever you answer the phone, do so in a French accent, and slowly

I was perusing Facebook instead of studying, and I came across this guy's comment:Groups: The Paradox of Belongingby Patrick Shearing at 11:36pm on May 8th, 2008"Throughout our Facebook lives, we wander aimlessly through a mass web of irrelevant data and commercialized logic.

Well, I'm not sure how it's happened, but it seems I've grown taller lately. I should be too old for growing. It makes me happy. :)Also it would explain my recent inexplicable habit of eating like a horse at every meal.But it reminds me of the part in the second Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers.Merry: Why are you taller than me?Pippin: I've always been taller than you.

Just finished Iron Man. This tale of weirdness begins when a young sorceress has an argument with a headstrong sailor.Okay, just kidding. But you've got to admit, the plot is pretty flimsy - who wants to sell insanely hi-tech weaponry to some backyard, dime-a-dozen terrorists? And to what, shift the balance of power? I mean, come on. Aside from that, Robert Downey Jr. is a fantastic actor and
