NaPo

Well, another April is upon us and National Poetry Writing Month has arrived along with it. ^PoeticWar and I are going to be running a few contests out of the literature forums all month, so keep an eye in there. The first one is already up and running, and I think that it's a pretty cool little excercise (if I do say so myself).

I will try to post a poem a day. I have some written, but not posted, but will be posting them within a day or so in catch up mode in my scraps. I'm keeping an eye on a few people that have started already, and I'm really impressed with what I've seen. So much so, in fact, that I'm going to try and post a list of my favourites at the end of every weekend.

Work is going steadily. I've had a very stressful time working on a new project, and it's taken up a lot of my time and burnt me out for the rest of it. I've spent some time working on a few poems, and dA things, but otherwise I haven't done much. Haven't seen quite a few of my friends in a long time.

I graduate at the end of this year. That's a scary thought. I know I've placed fears of getting old in my journal from before, but it really does sink in that I have to finally figure out what the hell I'm doing soon or else. I've got a full-time job offer already, but I'm not sure A) I want that job or B) I want to work at all. I might go back to school, or maybe take my small business to a new level (i.e. Level 1). Tell will time on that one.

Look out for it tonight. There's a lot of cool stuff in there, as there has been a lot of cool stuff going on in the last little while. I know that *LitFFS is taking off, and =MSJames has an article for that's worth a gander. There's always *fotoFRIDAY and more and more. I'll update my journal with a link once it's actually finished.

Movies: I saw Reign Over Me a few days ago. Actually, thinking about it now, it was weeks. Damn. Either way, I did enjoy it. Adam Sandler is quite hard to take seriously, and the whole situation which they put his character in got a little tired, almost, at the end. Overall, it was alright. Much better than I expected.

Music: New Modest Mouse disc We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank does not suck as much as I expected it to. It is obviously not going to grasp those Mouse fans that already jumped ship after Good News..., but it is still Isaac Brock, and it's still Modest Mouse. Fly Trapped in a Jar is my favourite track so far, and I am already sink of their once infectious single Dashboard.

Books: I got my copy of `alienhead's book A Wife Transgender...I mean A Life Transparent. What did I say? I've only read as far as I'd already read on his previews, but I am looking to make this a train novel at some point during the next couple of weeks. Go take a look at his website for details on how to get yourself a copy.

Games: I'll be grabbing a copy of Super Paper Mario this coming week, even if I don't imagine I'll get a lot of time to play it. I think the last incarnation of the series arrived at a time in which I was insanely busy, as well, so I played it over the span of a few months. I imagine this one will get a similar spot. Good series, though.

Sports: My team, the Colorado Avalanche, are one win away from the playoffs. That is, they are one win away from being OUT of the playoffs. That is, if the 8th place team Calgary wins, they will be out of the playoffs. Things look bleak. Still, it's been a great season, and they should spend the summer rebuilding and making way for some solid rookies (Wolski, Stasny) and getting some of the younger kids (Svatos) to pick up their game a bit. Also, stronger goaltending is a real must.
