Haikus...

When I'm bored in class, I tend to write haikus. This past week especially, my haiku writing has increased twofold, possibly due to the teacher-in-service on friday (:D)
Here are a few of them.

1. Gnawing at my insides
The loathsome, vile C Lunch
Hunger you devil.

2. Take red and yellow,
Add some orange, green, purple,
and blue: a rainbow!

3. AP Chem:
Delta H sub F,
When will this suffering end?
Oh yes, after May.

4. Soft snow swirling,
Outside, a small brown doe stares
At the breaking dawn.

5. Snow on the windshield
As I am driving, homebound
Through the falling snow

Excited! :D

Ahh~ My friend gave me this fancy bookmark as a (really) belated b-day present! I love it and can't wait to use it! :D

Bravo Quarter Rose~

I really enjoyed Quarter Rose's Idea prompt:

How does McCarthy's portrayal of the modern western myth compare and contrast to the typical idea associated with the "American western myth?"

I really was impressed with the depth of this prompt. I would begin with the oddly uneventful opening and then expand upon the anticlimactc death of Blevins. These would be two examples contrasting the typical western myth. However, the novel did portray a man's search for his love, Alejandra. This would be a similarity between the two.

"He thought about Alejandra and he remembered her the first time he ever saw her passing along the cienaga road in the evening with the horse still wet from riding it in the lake."

“He rode with the sun coppering his face and the red wind blowing out of the west across the evening land and the small desert birds flew chittering among the dry bracken and horse and rider and horse passed on and their long shadows passed in tandem like the shadow of a single being. Passed and paled into the darkening land, the world to come.”

I thought this was the perfect image to represent the final lines of the novel. It shows a beautifully red sunset with three horses silhouetted in the foreground. For me, it shows promise of an optimistic, unknown future. (:

Super Bowl Predictions?

I, quite frankly, couldn't care less about the outcome of the game. Actually, I don't even know which two teams are playing Sunday. However, I do care about the commercials! :DD

This is my favorite commercial from last year:

A Super Bowl commercial is 3 million dollars! :O

I read that GM has five of them this year. Wow.
