at the quick request of zanzibar, i wrote a little nutang sonnet.

I wait until the clock strikes half-past eight,
To sit myself upon my little nest,
Of wood, and pens, and coins, and paperweights,
Awaiting all the sinners and the blessed.
But lo! What lurks beyond the distant coast?
My eyes gaze out from my building�s glass doors.
Behind the sea, an island, Dave did boast.
So I, and others, swim to meet its shores.
I rub my face, removing salt and sand,
To meet the sun and the fresh coconuts.
And then it happened, as I went to stand,
Baboons emerged from their large grassy huts.
They took our hands in hopes that they could show,
How to learn to know what there is to know.

it's alright. now it's your turn to write a sonnet about nutang. how did you end up here?

good news everyone! (in professor farnsworth's voice)

i get to leave work at 1:30 today. the bad news is that i have to go home and wait for the cable guy to show up at the apartment. i'm assuming that since he can come anywhere between 2PM and 5PM, that he will undoubtedly show up at 2PM or 5PM.

so, if i'm a minute late, i'll come home to a note saying "hey, where the hell were ya? -d" and, well, i'm not gonna leave early, so i guess that's it. i just can't be late.

however, it would suck if he showed up right at 5PM, because that means i took half a vacation day for nada

the real question is, what am i going to do at the apartment this afternoon by myself? i guess i could watch a few movies...

oh, and if you're disappointed because there was no reference to The Cable Guy starring jim carrey and matthew broderick, then don't fret. here's the sweet spot, right here:

i figured i'd try typing like that to see what it's like.

it's annoying as hell to type. it's also an eyesore.

how do people type like that? haha. can you imagine typing an entire blog like that? sheesh.

alright, moving along.

amy and i are slowly moving our junk into the new apartment. we were waiting to move some stuff because the carpet needed to be replaced. and it has. so now we are moving stuff in. woohoo!

we are missing some major elements right now (bed, couch, dining table) but they will probably be moved in this weekend. looking forward to that.

so, by the end of this coming weekend, i will be completely moved out of my father's lovely abode, and will call this new place home sweet home.

yesssss.

katara would pretty much be unstoppable during the rain.

it's too bad it didn't thunderstorm on the day of black sun. that would've ended the war a lot earlier.

i had sushi last night.

...YUM. it was delicious. amy and i went to Ra Sushi in baltimore. if you haven't been, then that's a shame. it's pretty darn good.

this one roll was comprised of smoked salmon, cream cheese, and mango on the inside, with crushed cashews, some sort of red beet flake, and some other sauce on the outside. it was de...wait for it... lightful. delightful.

today is my birthday, and because it is, my dad says to pick a place to go out to dinner.

hmmm...

i'm thinking sushi. again. and again. and again.

but we'll see.
