piddling puddle

my Writing About Poetry prof. thought the puns littered about my comparative essay were so bad that she wants me to email her a copy of it so that future poetry students may gape, marvel and critique - perhaps cry profusely as well. ask if you want to be subject to the same awkward phrasing and hazily communicated brilliance.

too fast

in grade three, i tried out for the 100m sprint against the rest of my classmates. i always came second to my friend, Elias - a much taller, and much more Greek kid. my theory was that he had longer legs and Olympic genes. i was a very competitive kid, and on the last race of the year i purposed to win. but win, i did not. as fast as i could pump my little legs, Elias' longer stride made up for his slightly slower acceleration. at the halfway point i just put my head down and ran as hard as i could. as i shortened the gap between us i felt a twinge of confusion - my legs were moving faster than my brain could comprehend. in that moment, 11 strides from the finish line between the white rusty soccer posts, i tripped. and fell. and finished third.
this morning, i finished learning the rest of that lesson.

that's not periwinkle...

but the hair sure is fancy.
i think this will be the first harry potter movie (harry potter and the goblet of fire - my favourite book of the series) that i am looking forward to, even though i still haven't seen harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban. hopefully costco will play it. or maybe they'll rent it for a daycare movie day.
