Moved into the new place, excited. No time for a housewarming Florida/Texas/Oklahoma celebration, though, due to factors beyond my control. The Red River football fiesta will have to be the next interstate reunion.

Coke Zero

Coke Zero
Originally uploaded by theblackvegetable.
How many ounces of Coke Zero will it take to wake me up? How many will it take to make me actually think I want to do statistics for two hours after preparing for my lecture for an hour? How much stimulation will it take before I forget about the things I really want to do. I want to get in some swimming trunks, find a great apartment pool where no one I know lives, and make my lips numb with ice and Bacardi and absolutely no Coke Zero.

So, I am having a little trouble with this new blogger template, but I needed a change.

Secondly, if you know me, you know I get a little obsessed with the 24 television show. I guess Kiefer Sutherland is going to be the voice of Raistlin in the upcoming animated flick for the Dragonlance books (which I loved as a kid). -- dragonlance-movie.com.

When the sky opens up, it seeks the whole of me
When the sky swallows the air, every particle the same
And when the clouds give rain, I can find no drops, though I hear their soft scattering
It's as impossible as falling in love

The rain is an ocean and a waterfall
And every time my eyes wander, sliding beyond the corners, so am I
When I just wake up, sometimes I can see your breath
Catching and dividing your reflection

A love letter to a friend
Folded into small pieces, like in high school
A rainy day in love
Endless, unknowable, and oh so silent
