Uploaded as promised! I’ve done this poem before, at an actual slam, which you can find in the playlist below, but I wanted a more, er, “intimate” version because I really do like this poem.

I filmed a video for today but before editing it I wanted to import all the footage from our slam on Monday into my iMovie library, just so when I got the chance I could upload all of them. Apparently, though, the guy that filmed for us used HD and so it’s taking 7 hours to import to my library and I can’t cancel. I’ll edit/upload my BOW video tomorrow when I get the chance, but I promised a blog if I didn’t post a video, so there you are.

…with my new notebook! Today, after a snarky note from my friend Kelly on its final page, I retired my most recent moleskine that I began writing in on April 16th of last year. I love starting a new moleskine, because it’s fun seeing how far I’ve come and how much I’ve done. My moleskine, as most of you know, is my life. I keep journal entries, class notes, color-coded To-Do lists, poetry snippets, fiction excerpts, and more in it, and if I ever lost it I would go into full-blown panic mode. I am actually so attached to my moleskine that last semester, when my creative nonfiction professor had to take it to check off that I’d been writing in it and I was going through a particularly tumultuous time in my life, I actually started writing in the new journal ahead of schedule.

Forgive my appearance- it’s late and I am tired.
I had this whole blog post about individuality as a commodity and the book Fight Club planned and it was going to be super thought-provoking and whatnot. Then I ended up not having any free time until now, 8pm, and decided that I am too tired to make you think. Ain’t nobody got time for that. Continue reading “Leek Lasagna”
Disclaimer for potential employers: The only reason I can film videos at work is because occasionally there is no one for me to tutor. I do actual work the other 95% of the time. I promise. 😀
Or, alternatively, Since When Have Social Lives Been So Time Consuming? I know that one of my new years resolutions was to be better about posting blogs and videos (for God’s sake, I posted once a day for a year and then posted three-four times a week for a year and a half after THAT), but I honestly did not calculate the amount of time having a social life consumes. Yeah, I know, right? Apparently you’re supposed to, like, spend considerable amounts of time with your boyfriend that you might have otherwise used to blog or make a video. Weird.

… about a person by their books. Quinn, for example, has stacks and stacks of history anthologies and classic literature mingling with his full Harry Potter collection. Dion has a lot of Austrian Economics and political texts. My freshman year roommate didn’t have any.
I’ve been feeling really guilty about not blogging substantially lately, so I thought I would take your through my personal library, at least what I have with my at college. It was really difficult to decide which books I wanted to keep with me year-round, because if you know me at all you know that I have a bookcase at home that is double-stacked and two other shelves in my closet, also double-stacked. And they aren’t for looks- I really do read most of them more than once, depending on my mood. So the decision to take only a couple to school with me was a harrowing one, but a challenge I rose to nonetheless. Continue reading “You Can Tell A Lot…”
