Quarterly Report on New Year Resolutions

2008 New Year Resolutions:
1)Read more!
2)Get Job
3)Eat according to my moral standards
4)Worm Compost

1) As per previous posts, you'd notice, I have been reading for leisure. Check.

2) I am indeed employed, full time permanent with group benefits. Check.

3) I joined a CSA (community supported agriculture) farm to have fresh vegetables every week, buy organic if i go to chain stores and purchase orgainic foods in bulk. And buy from local small businesses when i can. Check.

4) I now have a bin, with worms in it and am currently growing the population for maximum apartment composting. Check.

Well it seems as though I've done a pretty good job of achieving my goals for 2008. We'll just have to hope that I can keep them up! :)

Poems from Jan to June

Haven't written poetry in a long time, but here's some from this year. There are all pretty much inside references and so may not be very interesting to you, but I post them in the event they have some worth to you any wayssss

A Penguin's Love Never Dies

Call me your penguin lover,
And I will be forever yours.
Let's whisper to one another our fantasies,
And eat only the finest Hershy's dark chocolate with almonds.
Our bodies fit together,
As the last two pieces in a puzzle
Whose image is of your arrow reaching up into my heart.
We are perfectly complete,
Filled with satisfaction,
Fulfilling a loving promise.
Time must answer to us
When we meet eye to eye,
And Lips to lips,
Our hearts beating quickly,
keeping pace with the oscillations of our intertwining souls.

butter brain storm

fill me up with butter.
like no other
my other life was funner
and more gramatically correct
dont surcomspect
i just made a bet
ive got intuition
but im a sore looser
i loose big, i live small
in Second Life i'm tall
i like to fight, but i hate conflict
convict, convict!
blurb is the word.

discontent

mixy mixy,
this world is trixy:
it gives me hives-
the chics dont jive-
i still cant drive-
what makes me alive?

sexy sexy,
i'm on this trek, see.
i'm in a daze-
but just a laze-
Buddhists say:'take a gaze'
to whom do i owe praise?

taxi taxi,
drive until i'm in ataraxy.
now, don't misthink-
i'm such a gink-
we're on the brink-
here's a jink: Hyperlink!

Enriching the Soul: Iron

Munro, Rona: Iron. Seven Thirty Productions. Dir John P. Kelly.

Seen at Arts Court Theater on June 4 2008.

Synopsis: "Josie and her mother FAy have not met for 15 years. Josie a globetrotting 25 year old, is very successful at work but her emotional life is out of kilter. Fay has lived 15 years in prison, seing the sun only when she lies on the floor of her cell. Now mother and daughter are reunited. Josie wants her mother's memories of the years before Fay was sentenced to like in prison."

This was an enjoyable play, really touching on human experience and quite the tear jerker. They did a really great job of demonstration human needs and reactions. A great play for a psych student :) It's interesting to see the two main characters grow threw each other. Josie needs her mother to remember her childhood, and Fay needs her daughter to experience the outside world. They live through each other, and come to terms with dark emotions within themselves.

I always prefer comedies, but this is a well thought out play, and quite enjoyable and has a superb ending.
