Squirrels everywhere–

Bodies thrash about

Half-Moon
I walked home alone
but then I noticed something,
the moon followed me.

Autumn Leaves
Do trees choose to change?
Or is it something they must do?
It’s a mystery.

Blurb 2 – “A Prayer For Owen Meany”
“A Prayer for Owen Meany” by John Irving is a novel that covers a range of human emotion. “Meany” is able to seamlessly make readers cry and laugh. What I liked enjoyed most was the book’s very memorable dark humor. The titular character of the novel, Owen Meany, is a stubborn and high-pitched short-person that believes himself to be the “instrument of God.” Owen talks in all capital letters (LIKE THIS THROUGHOUT THE BOOK), which I believe really gives you an idea of Irving unique writing style.
The book features the exploits of Owen and his best friend John. Because Owen is short and has a very high-pitched voice, he gets into some really interesting and awkward situations. The book is also permeated with more mature concepts: religious motifs and critiques of American society’s morals saturate the story. Despite containing such powerful and polarizing topics, “A Prayer for Owen Meany” remains enjoyable because of its ironic and comedic moments.
Note: I was supposed to go to the Visual Arts Museum near Baruch, but had to study for Pre-Calculus today. Hopefully, I’ll visit the museum within a week of this post.

October 4th, 2011 – Look UP in Grand Central
I hadn’t stopped to admire Grand Central’s ambience until one day I noticed some people taking pictures of the ceiling. Thinking it was something out of the ordinary, I looked up. This was when I realized how majestic Grand Central’s Main Concourse is. If you’re every there, you’ll probably be rushing to catch a train. But if you have some time, take a second to look up and admire the art.

Just because I kind of wish Baruch had more trees around it.
September 30th, 2011 – Just a Golf Ball
My friends and I found this golf ball outside of a golf course during the last days of our senior year. I keep it as a small reminder of my senior year in high school.

September 27th, 2011 – Iwako Eraser Animals
My sister bought some “Iwako Animal-Erasers” from her book fair in school. There was a Giraffe and an Elephant, but she used the Giraffe eraser up (so I had to substitute an image I found of it online).
September 26th, 2011 – Backpack or Transformer?
The front of my backpack reminds me of a Transformer. I think its because of the medical cross that the Autobot Ratchet had ( if anyone here watched the old transformer cartoons).
Note: For some reason I can’t flip my images on the blog. I’ll rotate all my pictures as soon as it becomes possible.

What was the last movie that confused you—in a good way? “Inception” does all this and more. Continue reading
