The Post to End All Posts
Well, I have been neglecting my sacred duty as a blogger the last few weeks. To all you avid readers out there, I apologize. I have been busy lately with school plus I got a new.........
....computer. It is amazing. I also bought Adobe creative suite since I use it constantly at school. I have been doing a lot of designing for my production class, I will have to make several book covers and some other stuff in the next few weeks. Here is a book cover I made the other day (I don't really know how to use the program very well yet so don't judge too harshly):
In other school related news, the website I designed for a class last semester was chosen as the winner of a departmental contest for best online portfolio. I have had the link on here for a while, it says "Portfolio." Unfortunately, there is no prize money involved, just a mention on the English department web page and in the STC (society of technical communicators) newsletter. I was actually kind of disappointed in how it turned out, so I guess the competition wasn't very good.
I guess to make this post worthy of its title I will have to pull out all the stops. Here are a few poems I wrote in a moment of boredom in class the other day. Cower before my creative genius!!
A Haiku about a mustache:
Furry upper lip!
brings distinction and pride
it only took a week
A short Poem about rejection:
You said that you would love me forever
I was unaware
that forever
meant last Tuesday
Ode to a dusty computer monitor in the lab:
Here you sit, used by all
yet loved by none
the scorn of a thousand eyes
has ravaged your fair display
Where will your place of rest be
once you have spent your worldly fervor?
A garbage pail?
Or heaven?

NEW GUITAR
This one will better serve my acoustic-rock needs. I love it so far; it is so lovely and slope-shouldered.

You can never get enough of what you don't need to make you happy
Here is the link to the online version of my review for the newish Iron and Wine album.
Anyways, I was thinking the other day that I should take up one of those "take a picture every day so you'll have a vivid collection of memories" projects, but I am sure that I would miss some days, and my selective OCD would force me to just quit.
Instead, I have decided to construct a virtual tour of my humble room so that future generations can see how humble college students lived in the mid oughts. Without further delay...
You can see my AWESOME LAMP.
You can see my AWESOME CLOSET.
You can see my AWESOME BOOKSHELF with Stephen Colbert's new book, plus the latest edition of YETI RESEARCHER.
You can see my AWESOME NEW HEADPHONES (thanks Mom and Dad!).
You can see THE WEARY, FURROWED BROW of my CARVED WOODEN GAUCHO.
You can see my SHAKER, JEW HARP, and NOVELTY VIRGIN DE GUADALUPE CANDLE (rose scented).
You may feel inclined to see the FRAMED ART PRINTS hanging on my WALL.
You may, by chance, glance upon the SMALL PHOTO ARRANGEMENT culled from the liner pictures of two BAND OF HORSES albums.
Thank you. Any inquiries about further AWESOME items my be addressed to me directly.
