haha haha hah!

my daddy is so cute. in his latest poetry chapbook, he quotes himself at the beginning of each poem--the pseudonym under which he used to write poetry when he was in college.

::falls over again:: ::twitchtwitch::

i'm cleaning out my room and found a bunch of journals going as far back as first grade. ninth and fifth grades are particularly appalling. you don't even want to know how i used to spell geologist.

and i found my 10th grade notebook decorated with mini bumper stickers (i.e., printed with dot-matrix printer on mailing labels). (ufos are real. the airforce doesn't exist.) ahh, the 10th grade sense of humor! back to room-cleaning.

to boldy go where no preschool toy has gone before

look what i got for easter! kirk and spock!

it's lego!love! only not really, because of course these are't lego people, they only look like them.


( and it looks so very suggestive, too. )

and an icon. i found a sticker that was approximately like this today and was inspired. i'm not using it (at least not now). just thought it would be fun. in the highly unlikely eventuality that i know any particular fans, he could be up for adoption...

in general, i find the poetry on shakira's first album more, well, poetic, than the poetry on the later ones, which isn't to say i don't still adore her music (mostly the spanish parts).

these are the two i quoted for the new icons i made last night! 'pies descalzos' and 'te espero sentada.'

southpaw526: if parents want their kids to learn some Spanish, you can tutor!
me: hee
me: everyone, repeat after me. 'whenever, wherever, we're meant to be together--' now how would shakira say that in SPANISH?

princesse: (everyone repeat after me, SHE IS WEARING A SHIRT WITH BLUE STRIPES AND A SKIRT WITH GREEEN POLKA DOTS)
naina: you don't learn the everyday stuff from the damned textbooks
princesse: this is the table of my uncle! oh yeah, bitch, well THIS is the refridgerator of my GRANDMA! ahem.
naina: elle est...something...un blouson(?) avec something bleu et un...something avec something something vert.
