Funny sign #2....




Here's a sign Brent spotted in Evansville...we had to stop to take the picture.  No comment necessary.


Sonnet VIII

Breakaway

But when the world before her eyes begins
to sway like music waltzing tender feet,
she settles conversation with a smile,
and steps with care to miss their lazy legs
like timber in her path.  She tiptoes to
the kitchen, leaves her glass, and finds her coat
but doesn't blow a kiss to him, just looks
as mothers look so fondly in a crib.
Out!  The wind blows harshly on her red cheek;
she sucks it in, the suffocating force.
Once to the fields, she smiles to see the moon
full bloomed in icy black tranquility.
Before she can begin to feel the chill,
a cell phone ring reminds her where she was.





A confession...

So I am back on facebook and my number of posts are decreasing.  I don't plan to stop posting though-I still have a lot to say and many poems to write!  Now I've plunged into that fabulous finals week, I'm not sure if I'll post again this week, but I'm sure I'll need a distraction when I'm home next week trying to write my essay before the Costa Rica tropical biology lab trip.

Here's another sonnet to make up for my absence.

Purdue Visit

Go Hoosiers!!!

This last weekend I took a trip up to Purdue with Connie.  Many great adventures followed and here's my photographic evidence!!


When we first arrived we explored the campus and Purdue's main
college street.  When exploring the Union, we found this long hallway
where we plan to film a scary movie about Boilermakers.  Here's the
scene where Nhat's chased by a floating orb.




We then went back to Nhat's apartment and played karaoke revolution.  In these
two shots, Connie is singing her heart out as a material girl, and Nhat's feelin' like
a natural woman.



The next day was the big Hoosiers vs. Boilermakers
game.  Even though our Hoosiers didn't come out on top,
it was great to be there.  Maybe next year, guys!!!



Based on a bet, we then had to take Nhat out to dinner.  We
picked up my friend BeeBee (soo good to see you!) and decided
to expose them to the wonders of Chipotle. Afterwards we visited
a hooka bar.  It was my first time, and it was fun to try to do
fancy tricks like Nhat.  As you can see from the lack of smoke
in my picture...I wasn't always successful.
Strawberry hookas for everyone!!


Thanks for the great times!  It was fun visiting you, Nhat, thank you for your hospitality. 

And now....it's turkey time. I hope to see even more great old friends this coming break.
