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

and what i want to know is

how do you like your blueeyed boy
Mister Death
