FreeVerse: plato told
I don’t like modern art. I think it’s mostly just a bunch of paint splattered or brushed onto a canvas. I feel that way about a great deal of modern poetry.

FreeVerse: One Art
There’s this episode of Futurama where Zoidberg gets some money and goes into an art gallery and says, “I would like one art, please” and so whenever we’re talking and art comes up, my husband and our friends say “one art, please”. Because, you know, we’re millenials. That’s what we do. We quote things. To such an extent that sometimes, in fact, I think that my whole generation is autistic.

FreeVerse: St. Kevin and the Blackbird
There’s a few really big black birds that live next to my house. When we were moving in, we took a break and ate some Taco Bell on our porch. There was a soft taco left over and before we knew it, a blackbird had swooped down, picked it up, wrapper and all, and flown up to our neighbor’s roof to eat it.

Read-A-Thon: Post #6
Ah, the wrap up post. Last time, I think I was so burned out that I didn’t even do a wrap up. But, as I fell asleep about an hour before the end, and then slept for 6 1/2 hours, I feel good enough to reflect on my reading.

Read-A-Thon: Post #5
Bookcation’s Mini-Challenge to talk about Indie bookstores reminds me of something I’ve been meaning to write about: Elliott Bay, the iconic Seattle bookstore, is moving from Pioneer Square, which is full of zombie looking crackheads to Capitol Hill, which is full of zombie looking hipsters.
