trucking along ~

[lookingland]

i did my laundry, i'm almost finished with all of my final projects for school. there is light at the end of the tunnel.

plopped together another 2,163 words to finish Reconstruction's "Undesirable" (go read! especially if you want to see sloppy writing in action).

23,758 / 75,000 (31.7%)

i've been playing with modifying engraving graphics. haven't done anything noteworthy ~ it's just an idea at the moment. might get ambitious about it later.

i also realized this morning that i haven't been reading much lately. i have a few books to give reviews for (maybe tomorrow), but i've really been slacking in this department. i am looking forward to getting back to reading after this weekend.

and, just for fun and poetry month, a poem i used to teach in my classes all the time (and one of my favorite of e. e. cummings (the spacing is a wee off, but it is the best i could do):

Buffalo Bill's
defunct

who used to
ride a watersmooth-silver

and break onetwothreefourfive pigeonsjustlikethat

Jesus

he was a handsome man

and what i want to know is

how do you like your blueeyed boy
Mister Death

I've been a real reading slacker too. I'm too busy drawing.

I love that poem by the way. :)

drawing is good! a good way to turn the brain in a different direction, change things up a bit!

I've always been a fan of that poem.

it's a great poim fer certain. and a great one to teach from because it's so short, so simple, and yet there's so much going on in it.

I like "Undesirable"

[(Anonymous)]

I like the title and what's going on with Lewis particularly (not personally but his story line.)

Emmaline is such a winning character--seems you're deepening her, or maybe it's that I'm getting to know her more.

I'm amazed you're doing this much writing AND getting through school. Yay for you, kiddo!
