Banshee at the Disco

Here are two photos from the shoot that BKay and I did (I'm still working on getting the rest onto a website, along with the stuff I did of Alex and Tony wearing Cheap Monday for Urban Outfitters. More updates on that as soon as I figure out how to write in HTML):

I'm at the Daily Grind so often that I'm starting to recognize people by their hairstyles now--I was standing in line, about to order my drink and the guy in front of me looked really familiar for a second (from the back anyway) and I almost said "hi" and then realized that I actually didn't know him at all, I've just seen him here for the last three nights, sitting at the same white table. His hair is kind of amazing though, really. The length is probably about an inch longer than mine, nearly the same color too, and slicked straight back into a super-smooth ponytail.

Speaking of the Daily Grind, this is the coffee shop that inspired the name of my blog, Coffee and Bricks. The "Coffee" part relates to the college student staple: caffeine

and the "Bricks" part was inspired by the brick interior of the coffee shop (brick people not included):

So I know how exciting pictures of bricks can be, but I have another photo that is even more fun and relates to some of my homework. In my English 351 class (creative writing: poetry) we had to choose a question from Pablo Neruda's Book of Questions and write our own poems. Here is my poem and the corresponding photo:

Are all fours equal? Are all sevens the same?

Four-eyed fish in every seventh sea
Swim between converging cello strings,
Thirty-two octaves below sixteen Anableps
Who keep forty-nine tempos in minuets.

Fourteen species gather every fifth century
In a mass of didactic symphonies
To compare in groups of two’s and three’s
All the sights each four-eye has seen.

During these meetings I am not in the room,
But mathematically, wouldn't one assume
Anything equal to our double eyes’ view
Could be twice as intriguing when noticed times two?

The poem received a fairly good review in class by Professor Boyd, which put me on top of the world for the rest of the day. Not only that, but I also splurged and bought a brand new blank composition book to write new stories. The excitement is almost overwhelming.

So tomorrow is Friday and apparently there is some sort of cocktail shindig at my house. It's always a good idea to start the weekend off with a bang.
