The line between poetry and intergalactic space aliens is admittedly fine...

...but remains a line nonetheless.

I don't have too much to say. I've had a pretty average day. Nothing fabulous happened, nor did anything horrible. I did schoolwork until 7pm, but have had a pretty easy evening at home. This weekend promises to be *huge* though, so maybe I'll head to bed early.

The one notable thing about my day is that it was *pouring* so hard when I left for school this morning that I was soaked through completely within about 20 seconds, after which time I said Fuck it, let's ride! and continued on to school. After wringing my socks out into a big-ass puddle on the lecture room floor, they were still soaking wet all day, even after everything outside had dried off.

Laura's coming to town this weekend, crashing on my couch, I think. That'll be fun. Plus a ska show tomorrow and punk rock on Sunday. Woohoo.

Today's ripped off poetry:

Arts & Sciences by Philip Appleman

Everyone carries around in the back of his mind the wreck of a thing he calls his education. - Stephen Leacock

SOLID GEOMETRY

Here's a nice thought we can save:
The luckiest thing about sex
Is: you happen to be so concave
In the very same place I'm convex.

PHILOSOPHY: THOMAS HOBBES

Better at thinking than loving,
He deserved his wife's retort:
On their wedding night, she told him, "Tom,
That was nasty, brutish - and short!"

BOTANY

Your thighs always blossomed like orchids,
You had rose hips when we danced,
And the question I always kept asking was:
How can I get into those plants?

ECONOMICS

Diversification's a virtue,
And as one of its multiple facets,
When we're merging, it won't really hurt you
To share your disposable assets.

GEOGRAPHY

Russian you would be deplorable,
But your Lapland is simply Andorrable
So my Hungary fantasy understands
Why I can't keep my hands off your Netherlands.

LIT SURVEY

Alexander composed like the Pope,
Swift was of course never tardy,
And my Longfellow's Wildest hope
Is to find you right next to my Hardy.

PHYSICS

If E is how eager I am for you,
And m is your marvelous body,
And c means the caring I plan for you,
Then E = Magna Cum Laude.

MUSIC APPRECIATION

You're my favorite tune, my symphony,
So please do me this favor:
Don't ever change, not even a hemi-
Demi-semiquaver.
