I love hanging out with my family.
Dad: “Click on QuickBooks and let’s grab a cup of coffee.” (QuickTrip)
Mom: “You need to take them out of the plastic to thaw.” Me: “You mean…all the way naked?” (I’d never make it in med school, clearly)
Brianna: “Why are they called Cornish Hens?” Me: “Because they originated in [...]
Quotes from the day
lunchbreak verse
dearest thought
how well you weave your way through my mind
but you melt through my nicely crafted box
of things i have saved
in picture or word

Ode to Rebellious Jazzy
there was a little dog
with coat as white as fog
who liked to eat garbage and plastic

something’s got to change
As I was mindlessly surfing internetland today (yahoo to twitter to blogs), I came across this video. Ouch! Even without facebook right now, I can still waste so much time online.

poem 421
A charm invests a face
Imperfectly beheld—
The lady dare not lift her veil
For fear it be dispelled
But peers beyond her mesh
And wishes—and denies—
Lest interview annul a want
That image satisfies
-Emily Dickinson
Paint.
Hmmm…
‘I should like to paint this.’ said the Ghost. ‘I wouldn’t bother about that just at present if I were you.’ replied the Spirit. ‘Look here, isn’t one going to be allowed to go on painting?’ ‘Looking comes first.’ ‘But I’ve had my look. I’ve seen just what I want to do. God!–I wish I’d [...]
