December, 2009
He smelled of diesel and red wine, a worn man built on rolling hills, fighting for a grip on today. While the friction gives and the balance breaks he lumbers forward, one shaky step after the other.
His cracked leather hands clinging to the memories that still hold familiar. Gripping till his knuckles shatter to remember everything he’d strived to forget.
So proud of the walls he’d...

I’m in Texas where it’s a glorious sixty. Back home I hear it’s been snowing something awesome.
When I get home I’m building a fort out back.

Good Lord It's Morning
I think I’m gonna start writing another short story rather than sleep.

I completely agree. It’s #1 is my favorite television moment of all time.
I hate presentations.
patrickwilson:
After my group presentation earlier this week, the 15 minute (25 minute?) presentation/lecture I gave Wednesday evening on “Vampirism as an Analogue for Rape Culture” and the two presentations I’m giving on Thursday—one on Gabriel García Márquez and one on Generalized Anxiety Disorder—I’m going to be officially done making presentations for the semester.
Four presentations in a...

In stead of sleeping I wrote my Twilight paper.
Twilight and Gender
In 2005 Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight first hit the shelves of book retailers nationwide. Three years later, the American public had opened its hearts and wallets to the vampire romance and the franchise’s first feature film. The series highlights the relationship between Bella Swan, a teenage girl who just moved in with her father, and Edward Cullen, a...

It's 4 AM
and I’m eating “Cars” shaped Mac-n-Cheese, listening to Ludacris, writing my gender paper, and just finished watching Steven Segal, Lawman on AMC.
I love my life.

I’m watching Twilight for my Gender Comm paper. There isn’t enough liquor in Dublin to excite me for the next two hours of my life.
Ugh no. Andrea and I watched it because we felt it had to be witnessed, and three smirnoff’s deep I was still criticizing every camera angle, wardrobe choice, and piece of dialog in that sordid affair.
I, sadly, am running out...

excerpt from "Arsenic and Old Lace"
m-shapes:
Elaine: [Mortimer is feeling amorous in the cemetery with Elaine] Mortimer! Right out here in the open with everyone looking?
Mortimer: Yes, right out here in the open with everyone looking. Let everyone in Brooklyn over sixteen look!

Mortimer: One thing at a time!
I love this production so much.

Wayne Miller.
Prufer, Johnson, and Phong were there too, but they were on their own little professors island. Wayne actually sat with us.

Man and Camel- Mark Strand
On the eve of my fortieth birthday
I sat on the porch having a smoke
when out of the blue a man and a camel
happened by. Neither uttered a sound
at first, but as they drifted up the street
and out of town the two of them began to sing.
Yet what they sang is still a mystery to me—
the words were indistinct and the tune
too ornamental to recall. Into the desert
they went and as they went their...
