a little update, I guess?

Adrian and I went to Vertigo Voices for some sick readings! It was a grand ol' time and on the walk back home we brought up our idea of making a zine again and now we're making progress! It might just end up being a chapbook, though. Not sure yet.

I'm putting it on the bloggy blog because I want to get this done before the semester is over and perhaps putting it on here will force us to get 'er done! WHOOT.

Uhhh, goodies now?

I shall post some Blame Society Films stuff on here. WHOOT WHOOT.

Beer & Board Games

I sponsored them and they toasted me on the show, but sadly got my gender wrong. Oh welllllll. The episode I'm toasted in is Season 2: Drunk Birthday Risk!



Welcome to the Basement

Movies!

list poem

I submitted this for my most magical second poetry submission, but I thought I would also give it a little posty post just in case anyone was curious.
I need to reorganize my bookcase...

FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS

gotta love cheekbones
outside when youre ready
I ate an incredible amount of pasta
I didn't sleep very well

Googled it and he's definitely her brother
void the top fuel line

how did they know we wanted them in
               bath robes?
assholes with daddy issues
are you coming home for lunch?
OOPS that was meant for adrian lol!

the old dutch rep gives us credit
Dad's leg is still messed up

the guy was a white cowboy
I guess I nicknamed you Poohead

Why was Brad carrying chalk
          in his pocket?
Its our soooooooooooooong
he was a TA

The Ianto situation is really upsetting
Uh oh, what happened?

homonyms

GUERRILLA FACTORY

I fought, eye new
ewe
ring the tents
tense with plum
prints for princes
the cymbal bore
its sole soul
symbolizing
no one knows
with quarts in a
guerrilla factory
I guessed the
guest made the
maid -- pail
Her idle idol
was missed like
mist in a hare creek
creaking for naught
won lute, but
a knot of loot
a rose colored quartz
in rows on the road

bleeeeeeeeeeeeert!!



I haven't really posted about any of the readings in a really long time, so I thought now would be a really great time to do that now that we're almost done.

So blert! It's a book! Of poetry! I liked it? Yes, I did. As was promised, it was definitely a fun and nifty read. I don't really have any powerful insights about it at the this time and point because I prefer to talk about all that jazz in class. I do have two things I want to say, though!

1) Sometimes I feel that poetry is a bit like magic in that once you know how it was done (or why) it loses a bit of that mystery that made me love it so much. Just talking about theory and whatnot can turn me off a poem especially since I don't really like poetry that much to begin with. However, I will say that reading the Author's Note at the end of blert (or is it BLERT? Or Blert? @.@) made the whole thing just about a billion times better.

2) Did this give anyone else some Wonderland flashbacks? I don't know. I'm too lazy to pull out my copy right now, but something about the way Jordan Scott strings together words made me think about that.

In conclusion, I had a jolly good time with blert and I can't wait to talk to you chaps about it.

this post contains naughty language!

naughty!

Hando Calrizian

"Hey buuudy, check out my gunnnnn."
kinda sounds like Bruce Campbell. Or is that just me.

methanol is best alcohol
update Matt's Wikipedia page to his full name-Mattrick P. Lesbian Sloan

"Every time I stop it, I'm like, I have a super power." "Called Hand."

"Humpty-Dumpty, when did you join Al-Qaeda?"
"Ein Volk! Ein Reich! Ein Rooster!"
I know you were toasting for me
"I can't hear you, I have a phone in my ear."

1:21 how I like my women
sorta looks like a creepy matt dilion..

farts are funny,  but you guys are even more so

"Where's my burger?"
"Burger, Fuckface, and The Other One".
"Wrong way, fuckface."

what beer do you guys recommend as my first legal drink?
how much liquor pour video did you guys consume
"Fuck off Cat, I'm busy."

amp up the creep factor...
but was too distracted by that mustache

does that mean we can call him Hando Calrizian?

Everyone seems a bit fuzzy.
Lesbian & The Other One (:

Aaron looks like Snake Plissken

alone /cries into beard
"what a tough time i'm having"
"Wait, YOU"RE no lesbian!"
how are your livers doing?
"Oh shit. Wow."

Can we do a kickstarter for Dylan's Ritalin?

I do miss the sex with Craig though
something to do with drunkeness and rage
"I told you, we already have Fuck Insurance."

I see a pirate, a French beatnik, a magician and a poet laureate
Apolonious christ!
"Wrong heaven, Fuckface."

Oh look its Elle Driver! No no wait... it's only Aaron

"I say to you, now more than ever, 'Bok...bok...BOK!'"

There was no "Folks!" How do we know it's over?





This one has a lot of quotes because I took it from the comments section of a YouTube video and people loves them some quoting.

Traditional Ayahuasca is so much more complex than they describe. I mean yes it's just DMT and MAOI, but the traditional blends are three if not more plants stewed in a complex ritual, not just an extract from a vine.

the verification problem

I found out how to disable the CAPTCHA that you have to fill out each time you want to post a comment!

On your blogger dashboard, click on the drop down menu next to the create next post button and select Settings. Under Settings, select Posts and comments and then scroll to where it says Show word verification and change it to no!

I've disabled it on mine so let me know if you've had to prove you're a robot lately!


just to be the poet who wrote a hundred words

Now that I have my mood music trilogy, I shall successfully create the hundred word poem!



THIS HAS NO TITLE


the number of each
people will part from
water call all oil but
then your word made
you into time,
many more than
long down or
go see it out
her his said
that they was there
if a first find
how now?
which is by up
its been about
what were with
these as some one
could look at an are
did on
he she has had
so I use
them when
no way
we can not make do
and come get him
for my other to
write like two
be in this
who would have
their may day






Man, that took foreeeevveeerrrr. First I had to figure out what I hadn't used from the list and when I finally had it all in place Word told me I had 102 words. ARRG. Took me forever to hunt down the repeated words.

(Freaks and Geeks)

INSERT WITTY POST TITLE HERE?

Oh wow. So, remember when I said I was going to post a slew of poetry? Yeah. Me too. I was totes lying, it seems. I need adult supervision when I have days off or nothing gets done. @.@

In my defense, this is what distracted me:


TEACUP HUMANS. TEACUP HUMANS. That is freakin' delightful. I wish I had come up with teacups humans. Anyways, I'm going to put True Blood on hold now so I can do some of this poetry jazz.

P.S. It took me forever to figure out how to get a YouTube video to start at a certain spot. Forever. Sure, when you click on Share Video it lets you pick at start time, but that's just for copy and pasting which is useless to us bloggers, unless we want to make our dear readers click around for videos. When you click on Embed it doesn't offer any support for starting videos at specific times, but it does have the code we need!

If you can't find the video you want to blog with the built in video thing for blogger, just copy and paste that while in HTML mode and you're golden :)

NOW I TELL YOU HOW I DID THE THING!

OK, so just copy and paste the embed link in with HTML mode on and then you need to add ?start=110&end=119 at the end of the video link like this:

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/XTwF0-1D1x8?start=90&end=98" width="560"></iframe>

You have to do it all in seconds, so do the maths to make sure you get it right! Oh, and if you don't want related videos to pop up after it's done just stick &rel=0 after the ending time like such:

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/XTwF0-1D1x8?start=90&end=98&rel=0" width="560">
</iframe>

Hopefully that helps if you plan on uploading videos and hopefully I didn't bore the people that were already smart enough to figure that out on their own!

Happy Hunting and more to come!

OH and a video size calculator so your videos don't end up looking too wonky if you decide you don't like the sizes that YouTube lists.
