I had high hopes for this weekend and blogging, as I have access to the tubes again, after several days of going without. But, as it tends to do, life intervened. That is to say, some complicated emotions came up that kind of took me by surprise, and I've been employing various tactics to evade, avoid, ignore, etc said emotions--tactics such as getting my hair cut, celebrating Valentine's day by drinking to excess with a handful of other single friends, and trolling the barren wastes of myspace and facebook for hours on end--all of which require exactly zero brain power.
Notice how I still haven't posted about Art Spiegleman, or Jackson Pollock. I still have quite the backlog of posting to do for my women's studies blog. I haven't read a book straight through since I finished school in December. I'm behind in housekeeping, and the produce in the fridge is starting to get iffy because, excluding the burrito I made for lunch, I haven't bothered to make a nutritious meal for myself in many, many days now. I want to
want to do these things, but the fact of the matter is I just don't right now.
But I am making an attempt, however slight, to be a little more on top of it. I have started earnestly studying the Arabic alphabet, and I did manage to do laundry and dishes today. And I'm having this modest go at posting tonight, so.
A few posts ago, I threw out the idea of making poetry out of those word verification sercurity things. I tried, at one point, to create some kind of poetic narrative around those intriguing not-quite-words, but found that doing so took away from the minimalist poetry inherent in the words themselves. So here's a list I've been compiling; you can choose to read them as poetry as they are or, alternatively, I invite you to exert your own poetic imagination on them. For instance, if this list were a sentence, how would you punctuate it? For that matter, what parts of speech do the words take on?

Well, have at it.
