The Elusive Dragonair

So the Internet crapped out again last evening/today so today's earlier post is actually yesterday's.

Man, last night it poured down the rain, which I didn’t mind because it’s been a long time since I sat through a good old fashioned thunder storm. Today it’s been rain off and on and just total dreariness in general so you know what I did?

I played me some pokemon leaf green on my computer.

Seriously, that game is more addictive than crack and almost as addictive as Korean pop. I played it for, like, four straight hours today without even realizing it. But you know what drove me completely crazy? Three of those hours were spent in the freaking safari area and didn't catch one damn Dragonair. Not from lack of trying, mind you. I ran into, like, five of them. Seriously, how the hell do you catch one when they're too busy RUNNING AWAY!?

Gah. I'll catch one tomorrow if it kills me.


Word of the Day: Luminescent

Glowing, shining.

This is one of those words that sound exactly what they're supposed to be describing. It's a glowy word. I've always thought it was really pretty.

Operation Kohl's is a . . . .

a SUCCESS! Aaaaah! You wouldn't believe the deals I got! It was the last day of the sale and Daddy didn't drag his happy ass out of bed until one this afternoon and we didn't make it up there till around three thirty. So honestly I was expecting the place to be completely ransacked. But it wasn't! I had an absolute field day and I only spend eighty dollars of the 140 that I had planned. All the shirts I got were under ten dollars and I saved at the very least eight dollars on any one item.

AAAAH! SO EXCITED OVER CLOTHES!

Anyway I was reading this article on AOL this morning and the author quoted from this obscure poem about a woman plauged by the thoughts of a miscarried child. I loved the quote because for some reason it's very haunting. It stuck with me all day. That's what I admire in poetry - the ability to wring out so much emotion in just a handful of words. Which is precisely why I suck so hard at it. But anyway, here's the quote from the article. Is it haunting to you, or am I just crazy? (We all know the answer to that question)

I thought she'd fade
but still she calls
in the sleepless night:
give me your darkest winter
it will be spring to me

Word of the Day: Aracari

A genus of Tucans

I found this word randomly scrolling through my dictionary app on my ipod. It's a really pretty name. I might use it in a fantasy novel.
