dreams to come

I am the dreamer,
and I am the dreams,
cloaked in erotic twilight
with a sun between the seams.
My thoughts are my actions
Soaring beyond open-eyed sight;
they feel real in your arms
that cradle me through the night.
Cling and hold me when I come
Before night recedes
and the dream is undone.

Cloistered at 30000 feet

As I sit in business class,

Can I really relate to a movie

About a poor family with nothing?

They have each other.

I have my drunken seatmate

Who doesn’t know how

To eat a british tea lunch.

And the movie wasn’t that good.

i don't like this one that much. i wrote most of it about 1/2 a year ago. it seems like it should have been more, but jet lag, a few glasses of wine, and elapsed time have lead it to here, and so here it is. the movie was cinderella man.

what next?!? parsley in a can? :)

today, we did beansprout's first easter egg hunt. it was a lot of fun. i'll post pics once i find the connector for my camera. yesterday, we went to the zoo. elephants are her favorite animals. although, one of them was really noisy and she didn't like that so much. it was a bit cold, but she was a trooper. in the afternoon, we went and visited gigi and pop-pop where more running around ensued. she seems to be a bit shy these days which is hopefully just a phase. i think if she lived up here and had constant exposure to family, then this wouldn't be as prevalent. all i can do is cross my fingers and hope.

happy passover and easter. i think i'm done with matzoh sandwiches for lunch. only one week a year! had a fun, make-shift seder on tuesday courtesy of strawberry who provided parsley in a tube (i never knew such a thing existed), horseradish cream (that's all she could find), and we used a chicken wing from the roasted chicken in place of the shankbone. there was plenty of wine and i colored it all by butchering an on-line haggadah to wend us through this happy, if not peculiar, homey little ceremony.

strawberry milkshake girl

i've received several questions about who was the mysterious strawberry milkshake girl. well, she is someone that i've been spending some time with lately. today, we met this afternoon and took the two girls, beansprout and peanut, down to old town. had a great time on wednesday with the group of us in downtown dc walking through the cherry blossoms (although most of them had been blown off), monuments, and smithsonian. beansprout saw her first imax, although the thunder and lighting of the hurricane on-screen scared her and she hid in my chest. i really enjoy spending time with strawberry and beansprout. she is nice, intelligent, articulate, and beautiful. i'm a little afraid sometimes, but i think we're on a good path. it's all about the journey, not some discrete end-point.

oh, the stamp means i'm marked now. i am officially off the market. :P

my beansprout

i've had the chance to spend the last 2 days with my daughter. last time i saw her was a little less than 2 months ago and it seems that she has grown up an incredible amount in that time. children are amazing. she is so vibrant, happy, and full of life-- it's a joy to just be around her. tonight, when i put her to bed, she said she misses me when i'm gone. i hope that is always as short as possible.

big 10 sucks

will my supreme skills as a gator student continue as florida attempts to go 3/3 in championships while i've attended? things to note:
  • OSU lost by 26 points to Florida in December. haha!
  • OSU lost 41-14 in a wonderful football game-- one of the highlights of my time in Michigan, another loser, Big-10 state.
  • A gator could hurt someone. What exactly is threatening about a nut? Unless, it's supposed to represent a psychologically disturbed individual which could make sense if you have an inferiority complex from losing repeatedly in big games and the stigma of living in the Midwest...

florida :)

well, i have no actual affiliation to georgetown other than they were in the championship in my bracket and i dislike big 10. and as i felt from the beginning, it seems like a cosmic necessity that florida and osu must meet again for a college championship. let's hope that it goes the same way as it did in december when florida crushed them then.

in other news, perhaps this morning will be the beginning, the re-beginning, the ... well, hopefully just the start of the way 2007 was supposed to be. we're 3 full months into it and i've kept saying to myself that this year would allow me to step out of the skin of the past. never quite happened. of course, it is april fool's, so... maybe there's a big cosmic joke awaiting me with such an auspicious date as a foundation.
