Poem 1














Locked in my little car
I am the only person in the world
That sees this view
Hazy sun off to my left
Seeing the dark side of trees, ebony
Beautiful Maya blue sky - luminous hue
Grass fresh and Harlequin
Early morn never looked this good to me
I must travel on my way
Wish I could stay
I'd lay on the lawn
Close my eyes, smiling at dawn

Room Results

Here's how the stripe in my room finally turned out! I decided to paint the anomalies just like the rest of the room.

Thank you everyone who helped me figure out what to do. Your rapid responses were wonderful! I'm so glad I have so many friends who care so much. Even if that includes just caring how my room looks. :D


Quick side note to anyone with a GMAIL account, under the new Buzz tab located on the left of your screen under "Inbox" you can follow other people with gmail accounts. It's really nice and an it lets you know when the people you are following blog, tweet, or even upload pictures to Picasa or Flikr etc. So just a nice way to keep updated for all of us with our busy lives!

Ali - To Know Her Is To Love Her

It was a boring, snowy day at work, with nothing to do, when I was hit by the silliness of my dear sister's life. And how it would be awesome fodder for a comic strip. I already had drawn her as a comic for the t-shirts I'd made her and Adam for their engagement so it was perfect!
Behold! Ali in crayon and 2D!

The Human Mind

Roy stepped out of the ventilation shaft and into the hallway. Glancing around he made his way left past the large murkey windows looking out onto the street. With one hand in his pocket, he fingered a small piece of plastic that was so vital to make everything right..............................

Ok, quick! Don't read what anyone else wrote, just comment and write what you saw in your mind. For example, does Roy have brown hair? Red? Blonde? Purple? How old is he? Etc. Write only what you saw. And if you're over zealous, write more about the story too. :)

To read after you post:
In a flash of not so brilliant light, I thought of the first sentence to this post very randomly. That got me thinking about how different people would see this picture that was in my head if I only wrote down only a few words that were not specific enough to be decisively descriptive. And so I thought I'd share with all of you and see what sort of automatic or generic picture came into your mind and imagination with very little provocation.
When I read the first sentence in a book, I usually get some picture in my head that is shaped as I continue reading by the author's descriptions, and even then I sometimes still stick to my original pictures! So I was just curious as to how everyone else's mind worked too!

La la la LAA!!

Listen to this song by Owl City in the sidebar located left if you haven't heard it on the radio already. I'm sharing because I can, and because it's a fun song! Check around for more periodically. Update: Unfortunately the music service I was using to play the song (lala.com) is disconinuted. Sorryz!
