Happy Birthday, greeneyedpagan,
And
Happy Birthday, frackin_sweet!

Also, Happy Birthday to daddysambiguity
who seems to have disappeared, but is not forgotten.

May you all have fabulously exciting and satisfying birthday adventures.

Under the weather
Raking the clouds
Tipping the stars
Sounding for rain

Round the barrel
Running the moon
Slide up the sky
Cave down the wind

Wish on a squid
Twist in the void
Ramble a mind
Rumble the thunder

Under the weather

for this is the day that waterlilly was introduced to the corporeal realm.
Happy birthday to a wonderful person.

I do not cook.
Various reasons, but the kitchen and I are not friends.
With that firmly understood, I would like to share a recipe or two, here and there, for those
who are interested (perhaps in that trainwreck way) on how those who do not cook manage to
feed themselves when they don't get take out, succeed in cajoling others to cook for them, or make a sandwich.

Rice and vegetables, meat optional.

Boil-In-Bag brown rice
frozen vegetables ( I like the stir fry ones)
frozen fajita chicken
one quart microwavable casserole dish

Water in pan 2/3rds full
bag o rice in water
microwave 4-5 minutes

drain water, take out bag o rice, let drain
vegetables in dish
chicken in dish
few squirts of water to facilitate warming
microwave until hot

Rice in a container of some sort. (This is lunch and dinner for me, so I decant into plastic)
Chicken and veggies on rice.
Enjoy.
I have a few others, all cheap, easy and low on dish use.

Of my LJ friends are writers?
Authors are the bomb.

Start your engines
Heads up
We have lightning looking to strike

Trouble coming
Fast
Inhale quietly and find the exit here

Insanity has no limits
Slowly
Retreat (don't leave an opening) backward

What. You want to deal with that?
You are
Welcome to it, you reckless prick (jeeze)

We won't be back for the pieces
And you
Will be in shreds not even

Tweezers will get it all
Understand?
I think lightning found its rod.

Happy birthday

May the candles on your cake
Burn like cities in your wake
Happy birthday....

Yay!

I don't do "if onlies"
They smack too much of
Shoulds, and woulds and coulds.

"If only you loved me"
"If only you had done what I said"
"If only you were different"

Well, I don't
And I won't
And I'm not.

Edit/ this poem seems to be speaking to teenagers.
I don't know if this is a good thing or not./

Poem written for community Linebyline.
Time taken: 5 minutes.

Question for the flist:
when you create, is it in a white heat, or do you execute a slow plan?
Every time I write or draw something I approve of, it is done all at once, very quickly, with very little editing or erasing.
When I do plan and take things step by step (talking art or poetry, not work stuff), the finished product is lifeless and mediocre. Boring.
How about you? Do you need time? Or space and inspiration? Or what?
Tell me.

Yeah, well. I do have a townhome I am looking at, and I can afford it.
I have the down payment no problem.
I guess it is because I would really rather save more money, and not be house poor.
Also, who knows? I may not stay in Houston forever.
The townhome is near, very near I10, and will be going up in value as soon as that bitch is finished.
3 story, nicely laid out, nesting capabilities, very small complex that is also well taken care of and attractive.
Too close to parents, but also very close to work...

Been not sleeping well.
I guess exercise should be done mornings or afternoons.
Waking up every two hours is not restful.

Do you think it would be possible to write a good story or
have an intelligible conversation entirely out of quotes from other's books?

Gene Wolfe did this in one of his books where the story teller was from a culture
that did not allow individuals to speak unless it was from approved texts.
They had to converse in quotes, and if one did not know the reference,
the speaker was not understood.

Mr. Wolfe made up the reference books, so it was all his work.

I don't know.. It might be amusing to try.

I can remember sentences and paragraphs of books,
and where they are located in the book in a general sense,
but not the book title or author.

Might be difficult, because if credit is not given,
a plagerism charge could rightfully be leveled.
Not, of course, if it is simply a conversation.

The map is not the territory
The word is not the deed
The picture is not the object

This is not a pipe

Right now, under you, the world is turning

Have you ever danced with the devil
in the pale moonlight?

wonder where it is from (besides http://icanhascheezburger.com/page/38/)

May be a folk song?

And the gods are angry.
Thor fumbled his 2/10 split, and the rumbling is everywhere.
Rain makes me both sleepy and horny, not the best combination when one has no steady lover, no plans to get one either.

At least the internet is still up. (pets the mac)

Dinner was haphazard, and now I crave the wild marshmallow.
No signs of such beast are visible to the horizon, and I refuse to go to the wild marshmallow store.

Off to stare grumpily at the bathtub and think grim thoughts of not wanting to get wet

My first field trip with school children!
It was fabulous, simply wonderful!
Of course, it helped that my class were all exceptionally well behaved, due to them being the pre AP art class...
We went to Ellington Air Force Base in SW Houston.
We got a very rare tour of the NASA compound, went to see the Coast Guard guys, and the Fire Station.
Biiiig trucks in that fire station. Felt like we were in a mecha, ready to transform into an armoured angel with a flaming sword.
ConAir was flying that day, and we saw a real Astronaught!
The Vomit Comit was viewed, and all of my students asked really good questions.
I am attempting to post a group photo - here goes:



Wow. It worked.

Mechers! here is what I look like, so that you would know to offer me a ride...




Ehem. That is 4 years ago, I am just not that cute now.
More later, as I have more time.
(beam!)

I wanna be a rock star.
the teacher is being musically educated.
I like it.
