The Paper Crane Ninja: Poetry Remix

I still can’t stop thinking about those paper cranes, so when we were tasked with writing a “still life” poem last week in poetry class, I couldn’t help but revisit them again. The actual assignment was to write a poem mirroring the style of a William Carlos Williams poem (which was merely OK) so I did the assignment but then wrote my own version of the poem. Thoughts?

The Midsummer Station: Review

 

A couple weeks ago, Owl City’s new album, The Midsummer Station, was released and as a well established fan I of course downloaded it immediately. After listening to it all the way through, I think did the next logical thing (for me) and tweeted about it. If you’ll look at the picture to the left…. OWL CITY (ADAM YOUNG) HIMSELF RETWEETED ME. So I figured it was finally time to make good on my promise for a review. Continue reading “The Midsummer Station: Review”

First day jitters

No big blog today, since my Mondays are chock full o’ classes (4!!). I was lucky that my 8am photography class got out about an hour early today (it being the first day and all) so I figured now would be as good of a time if any to whip up a quick post. I can’t promise how blogs are going to work out for the first few weeks of the semester, as I find myself busier than expected, but I will make an effort, I promise. This Thursday you’ll get my Cribz: Junior Edition video from our new dorm, which should be fun, and hopefully we’ll start cranking out Cooking with Gandalfs again soon. Lots of things coming up on the website, so BE EXCITED! Continue reading “First day jitters”
