I went to the City Museum tonight with Rebecca and, like, 40 or so of her church’s Awana kids. If you’re reading this and you’ve never been to the St. Louis City Museum and you like having fun, you have been missing a great thing in your life. My whole body aches, and I may have fractured my knee on a 10 story—11 story?—spiral slide, and I have to get up for work at...

Morbid.
I also do this. Every time.
Sometimes I wonder if Rebecca has ever noticed that it takes me so long from the time I go out to my car to the time I drive off. Everyone, this is why.

This makes me physically ill.
Seriously, seriously fucked up:
Investigators said as many as 15 people, all males, stood around watching the assault, but did not call police or help the victim, a 15-year-old student at Richmond High School in suburban San Francisco.

I Choose This Day
m-shapes:
Light, your light, slides across the uneven skin of the earth- longing to be waves; to swell and surge like curled waves caught in a horizontal ring. Unlike the son of humanity; not rising, divine, a vertical reprimand, accentuating the stark, defiant trunks of trees— marking the slanted backs of men, and their grotesque, handwritten notes filed away in their brains. Their...

I'm eating fruit snacks right now.
They are not fruit. They’re hardly even snacks.

You know how people smoke cigarettes after sex.
Well, I’m pretty sure I would be the kind of girl who would say ”Get me a cheeseburger and some french toast.” after sex.
“…an ice cream cone, too, while you’re at it.”

This is excellent.

The Apple iMacs finally have desktop computer parts in them! So they’re real computers!
The one with the 27-inch monitor gives me pretty intense gadget envy.

The Story of Our Lives, Mark Strand
poetry365:
1 We are reading the story of our lives which takes place in a room. The room looks out on a street. There is no one there, no sound of anything. The trees are heavy with leaves, the parked cars never more. We keep turning pages, hoping for something, something like mercy or change, a black line that would bind us or keep us apart. The way it is, it would seem the book...

If I could write about something other than “Let the Right One In”, I’d like to make an argument for a connection between Bram Stoker’s Dracula and rape culture.
That’s just my side thought, while I sit in my 225 minute lecture class—ostensibly a Tolkien seminar—watching a gory indie film about vampires.
And it’s a dubbed movie! Dubbed in English...

Moby-Dick is quickly becoming one of my favorite books. Melville’s style is dark, but playful, and the subject matter is, for me, riveting.
So, go pick it up.
Screw what you’ve heard about it, read it.
I’m torn on this. I was assigned Moby-Dick for my Lit. Crit. course, and had heard awful things about how long and boring it was.
As it turned out, it did feel a little long,...

Just took some hardcore cold meds that are supposed to knock you out. It’s been about ten minutes, I can feel my eyes getting heavier.
I wonder how long I can ride this thing out.
Haha, I used to do that with my temazepam. I always lost, but I never cared.

Rebecca and I had dinner last night, and then went to see “The Phantom of the Opera” at the Fox Theater. Rebecca had never seen it performed live, so I got tickets for us as my present to her for our two year anniversary.
Dinner was tasty, and the musical was pretty good, but the highlight of the evening for me was Rebecca. We dressed up for the occasion—and let me tell you,...

I Remember, Nikki Giovanni
poetry365:
i remember learning you jump in your sleep and smile when you wake up
at first you cuddle then one arm across my stomach then one leg touching my leg then you turn your back
but you smile when you wake up
i was surprised to know you don’t care if your amp burns all night and that you could play ohmeohmy over and over again just because you remembered
i discovered you don’t...
