UPDATE: welcome to book club
Hello all.

The format of official Book Club posts is going to be updated starting with The Picture of Dorian Gray. Thanks to Mark's suggestion, I am going to be writing several posts per book, each about only certain sections (eg several chapters). My aim will be to write about 3-4 posts per book, and they will all be linked to in the sidebar under their respective book titles. This is all an attempt to make this seem more like a real book club in which you can follow along with what I'm reading (or have read) as it happens.

Let me know your feelings...

the metric system and other such ponderings

[The Crane Wife The Decemberists]

I've recently become obsessed with haikus thanks to Lindsey's super-creative blog. Here are some that I wrote in a boring class to keep from sleeping.

My eyes are heavy
My head is feeling the same
My god I'm dying

.......

Thinking eludes me
My dreams have taken over
Tick tock, so goes time

.......

Meters, kilograms
The simplicity of them
Inches are stupid

.......

Your head hair is red
Do the curtains match the drapes?
I'm just curious...

.......

Notice I started out only being able to think about how tired I was, and then I slowly started waking up since you have to be alert to count the syllables of a million different synonyms until you find one that fits. I think that in my semiconscious sleep deprived delirium, I became slightly ornery.

Far more superior than mine!
