Einstein and Pi
3.14… a match made in heaven.
One of my best friends is getting married in just a few months. In fact, he just got engaged several weeks ago. And I barely know the bride to be. This has been a tough year. I miss spending time with my friends.
Sorry for the lack of posts recently. Things were a bit hectic this past week, and now I’m spending some time with family this week. I should be back to semi-regular posts soon. In the meantime, I’m listening to Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison while grading papers. Fitting.

Meanwhile, a symbiotic...

Four Lines... staying at someone else's this...
If you want tonight’s Four Line’s entry, check out my friend’s tumblr. I dropped a rap verse over there. And by dropped, I mean, I wrote and then explained, it. I did not drop it either in the gravitational or oral presentation sense.

squirrelgrrl-deactivated2011080 asked: I am going to assume based on your comment that you cannot rap on beat? It would be most amusing to hear you rap. Perhaps your next video should be you rapping one of your poems. Yes. It should. Do that, k? Kthx.

miss-english asked: I'm going to go out on a limb here. Because I think you are know for anon questions.
So, how do you like YOUR eggs? (And if I'm wrong, or don't get my preface, answer anyway.)

Yeah… This is about right.
squirrelgrrl-deactivated2011080 asked: Well, in that case, I probably have more indie cred than the entire population of Austin, MN combined. Which is not at all hard to do, but whatevs.
I don't know exactly what a cheese-wave band is like, but the phrase brings to mind images of people eating and possibly throwing cheese curls during shows, and band members shooting cheez-wiz out into the audience. I think this...

This picture of Zooey Deschanel keeps popping up on the radar on my dashboard. And it makes me wish I had my own Zooey Deschanel. That greedy Ben Gibbard just had to go and marry her…
foryouradoration asked: Haha. Excellent advice on the pizza thing. I think I'll listen and go get some.

Explore? Directory? Help?
Ok, so, the directory is gone and in it’s place is a new system that’s all moderated and junk. But I don’t see a creative writing category? How do I find fellow tumblr’s who like to write creatively, doing literary sketches or poetry, etc.? The literature tag seems to be academia or book reviews and the long reads section doesn’t cover the shorter bits…
