Poem of the Day

Mystic Horses- all grace and beauty,
these elegant beings...
Strong legs pulsating, pounding
rhythms upon the earth
like a drum beating in resonance
with my own ancestral heart.
Is there anything more sensuously beautiful
than the horse?
... I think not.

-Laurel Burch

"That cheese is the only thing that's separating you from a 3rd world serf."

Just an Excuse to Rant

Things that irk me on this fine Easter Sunday:

-Neighbors who talk obnoxiously loud and play crappy music
-Hyper cats when I'm trying to work
-People cancelling plans
-Slow drivers in the fast lane
-People asking "What are you going to do after you graduate? Are you going to graduate school?, "So, how's the job front looking?", "So what are you going to do if you don't get a job?", and/or "You know, you'll never go back to grad school after making lots of money at a full-time job."

I know. I need to loosen up. It also irks me when people tell me to loosen up.

Goodnight, Travel Well

There are some songs, foods, concepts, and even people that are so intimately connected with a time and place in my life that it's almost physically disturbing how strong the feeling of deja vu (for better or worse) can strike me at the most unexpected time.

I'm up late cracking down on a paper that's due tomorrow, and I'm feeling wordy and nostalgic!

If you want to ensure that you will not spend any unnecessary money (or any at all), leave your wallet at a private observatory on a mountain 1700 miles away.
