So I’m currently six poems behind in the 2008 edition of 30, my semi-annual ’30 poems in 30 days’ experiment for National Poetry Month. Hopefully I can make up the difference this weekend, or as this week goes along; ironically, it’s not because I haven’t had the time to write that I’m behind so much […]
Pink dye in my braids streaks my fingers, Fuzzy Pikachu pack strapped to my back, String of Hello Kitty charms accompanying each step With a jingle-jangle symphony of tiny bells. My home is a continent where I’ve never set foot, My mother tongue is something I cannot speak, My seinen thoughts read right to left, […]
Tell me a story of swords and sandals, Set in the Vatican, the Pope versus the Devil, The streets cloaked in fog and the sun long gone, Long sweeping shots establishing the mood Just as keenly as the eerie tinkling tones, Philip Glass in the background. From V-1 to V-2: The deep canals covered in […]
I stand a hundred feet above the sand, lifeline cinched about my waist, feathers quivering at my fingertips, the towering mast beneath my feet raising me up beside the deified dead. The sunset horizon stretches out behind me, casting we Totonac into sharp relief, voladores silhouetted against the Mexican twilight. I put my head down and […]

It’s taken me long enough, but I’m finally beginning to understand some of the bizarre intricacies of MT4. Â I’m still annoyed that some stuff that should be easier simply isn’t, and I’m equally annoyed that there aren’t more resources available online for MT4 yet (there are big gaps of 6A’s official documentation that simply read […]
Two things can be learned from the following story: A foreign policy adviser to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama resigned on Friday after calling campaign rival Hillary Clinton a “monster” during an interview with a British newspaper. Samantha Power, a foreign policy aide on the Illinois senator’s White House campaign, said the comments were inexcusable. They were published on […]

Typical Movable Type upgrade experience: you spend X hours attempting to upgrade the software, then Y hours attempting to integrate the new version’s functionality into your pre-existing templates. Â The tag changes between MT3 and MT4 this time around are particularly sinful, but hey — if this prevents all the comment spam I was getting before, […]

Welcome to my new blog powered by Movable Type. This is the first post on my blog and was created for me automatically when I finished the installation process. But that is ok, because I will soon be creating posts of my own!
