this is not a haiku

when i watch movies and then don't watch them for a really long time i get sort of a stigma in my head to associate with that movie, for instance with eternal sunshine, i think i watched it during freshman year during those few months that were really shitty for one reason or another, and thus the movie received a negative stigma in my head and i haven't watched it very often since. then i picked it up for really cheap and decided to watch it and remember how fantastic it is. enough of that.

i've been getting really into golf lately. i watched the tournament at doral and got hooked on nick watney, this week i discovered sean o'hair and watched the fantastic brought-to-you-by-tiger-woods finale. its the perfect mix of relaxation and suspense to be endlessly entertaining once you pick a favorite or two and hope they do well. five or so years ago i would have said golf sucks and is boring. this is just another example of lara's individualized way of aging.

tomorrow i get a new computer! i'm breaking down and using some tax return money to buy a macbook. i've always wanted one and by always i mean since i saw how neato they were in college. also, i'm tired of always acquiring viruses from every other website i visit. also also, i get a free printer after rebate and i can still use my student id card for a discount on the computer and the in-store and phone tech support for three years! aaaand macs are just fun and neato and when i have one i will be a cool kid too. pretty soon you'll find me sitting at the spyhouse (not that i don't like the spyhouse) with a cup of tea (for here) listening/staring at my computer, my bicycle parked outside (because i bike to minneapolis all the time...) and i could go on and on with this, but i feel this is already overkill.

and with this said, no haikus tonight; i'm off to play some nintendo ds

ok, so maybe a haiku every few days

my noisy neighbors

slept in until noon
errands in the Eag, good times
wife swap then bedtime

HAIKU!!

After a not so intimate and detailed discussion with my sister about poetry, I've decided to set a goal. I shall write a haiku every day about my day. I believe it will be an entertaining and frontal-lobe stimulating way to remember things. Without any further ado, here is my first haiku.

Covered a friend's shift
Stroke symptoms mean overtime
Pizza Luce rocks

is it st. patty's day or st. paddy's day?

Never I mind about the abbreviation of tomorrow's festival, I'll be at work. And the next day too, so I can't even get shattypantsed. And I'm over it. Today was probably one of the most productive days I've ever had, like ever. Consisting of:

Meeting at work
Picked up grad school catalogue from the U (just looking...)
Enjoyed the weather at Como Park
Went poem-hunting
Bought a new bike
Joined my co-op (by far the most expensive bag of groceries I've ever had)

I enjoy my new bike. It's not flashy at all, very simple and very very LIGHT. Technically I am going to say I bought it with my investment monies from Mayo that they sent me in a check. I always enjoy random monies. That check gets deposited on Wednesday.

Now, fairly exhausted, I'm watching Pocahontas with my cup of nightly tea. I have become so predictable and, well, boring. I'm starting to love it.

On a side note, I recently watched Australia. Though unbelievably long, I found it enjoyable and not just because of Hugh Jackman. He sure helped though.
