hi Johnny!


ETA: I HAVE FOUND MY LITTLE CHEF!

this was a j-dorama I caught bits of on TV but I wasn't able to finish it. It was about a cook! and she solves people's problems! with food! and it was fantastic!

Seri, an unknown yet talented female chef from the country, arrives in Tokyo to work at French restaurant, Etoire, but discovers that they have gone out of business due to the departure of their main chef. Together with the restaurant's former manager, she opens a French restaurant of her own and begins to recreate the flavors her late father mastered as a famous gourmet chef.

I am so watching this and No Heroics when April Month of Much Trial and Stress is over.

yeah, you could be the one/but I know I could be your son

hey y'all, sorry to bother you, but I just felt like posting this poem I wrote for class


Killer Pun

Palmate the grasp of leaves. A bright hummed melody.
(A mind inapt for now’s empire?)
We know to fear the night, and so let day run free.

First victim bled a scream sweetly silenced by the sea.
(What a festered youth inspires?)
There was only a single warning: a bright hummed melody.

The murdered’s marrow seen, smeared on bone with artistry.
(What does such an eye require?)
All they saw were smiles, and so day then ran free.

News anchors would change octaves by the time they uttered, “spree.”
(Now we speak of the undesired?)
Blood sprayed round all the walls, like notes of melody.

Of course the fiend was caught. For then, where would you be?
(Or was it choice to retire?)
There will be another time when day will escape free.

You have nothing to fear but you yourself. So, why do you worry?
What future rage can you ever acquire?
(It will start with the grasping leaves, and bright hummed melody.)





The title: villain, villanelle, ha ha ha. We were supposed to write a poetic form. That afternoon/night, I came up with a sestina that I thought was awesome... until I started typing out what I wrote. The thing was awful! Of course, I realize this at 2:30 in the morning. So I was surfing that time, and I was still reading Final Girl. I've always wanted to do some kind of horror poem. It just turned into a villanelle, and I stole the parentheses idea from Sylvia Plath.

whoa

Outside Lands 09 festival announced

who I'd sooooooo want to see if I could afford the time and money for a ticket, because seriously those tickets are expensive:

M.I.A. (I hope she pops by the Berkeley Amoeba again for a free show...argh why did I not check the website so often in summer whyyyyy)
The Mars Volta (I know their concerts are tiring, but in this format I don't have to stay the whole show)
Os Mutantes
Portugal, The Man

and probably check out TV on the Radio, KINKY, Dengue Fever, and Raphael Saadiq as well. Maybe even Atmosphere, Mastodon (lol) and Calexico.


everyone else is just whatever or okay that's nice for me. Although Tom Jones is...an odd choice.
