blood bank.

Well I met you at the blood bank
We were looking at the bags
Wondering if any of the colors
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags

You said "see look thats yours!
Stacked on top with your brother's
See how the resemble one another
Even in their plastic little covers"

And I said I know it well

That secret that you knew
But don't know how to tell
It fucks with your honor
And it teases your head
But you know that its good girl
Cos its running you with red

Then the snow started falling
We were stuck out in your car
You were rubbing both of my hands
Chewing on a candy bar

You said "'aint this just like the present
To be showing up like this"
AS a moon waned to crescent
We started to kiss

And I said I know it well

That secret that we know
That we don't know how to tell
I'm in love with your honor
I'm in love with your cheeks
What's that noise up the stairs babe?
Is that Christmas morning creaks?

And I said I know it well
I know it well ...

shake it.

I have always been a fan of avocados. Always. So, I was not surprised that I found myself enjoying avocado slices adorning my tuna sandwich. Not only was it a delightful enhancement to the sandwich, it was also aesthetically pleasing. A little pop of green to add to the almagamate of tuna and mayonaise. I'm a big fan.

So, I was perusing the Trib today and found myself salvating at the sound of an avocado shake. http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/food/chi-0204-avocado-shakefeb04,0,3636899.story . There are many ways to eat the mild-mannered avocado. I've found myself cutting it in half and sprinkling it with some tasty seasoning, whipping up a batch of guacamole or adding to salads, sandwiches, etc. Needless to say, I am quite excited to try it as a drink.

Celebrating the Semicolon.

Welcome! Being that this is my first post, I should probably note my intentions. Like many, I am at a loss as to what I will be "blogging" about. Basically, this space will be a place where I share interesting issues or finds. From linguistics to statistics, this blog will be a semi-heterogeneous mixture.

So, here we go.

The title of this entry was influenced by an article I found on the NYT:

I should give a little background info on why I would have such a fondness/interest in the semicolon. Basically, my 8hr-long work day consistents of editing media pieces, grantwriting, etc. For many years I have always been intrigued by the use and misuse of this beauty and charmer. So, naturally, when the a semi-colon is used correctly, and with good taste, I find myself quite pleased.
