The story of my life, in comic form.

Oh, Athena.

Print isn’t dead. November 5, 2008.
Made its reappearance just when I needed it.

If I could afford an $8550 coffee table.
Don’t mess with liberal feminists.
I found out I’m an INTJ.
Momma said wonk you out <3.
The economy, in plain English.
Light installations.

Mario Kart, a love song.
Photoshop in real life.
What a treacherous thing it is to believe that a person is more than a person.
Christian Lacroix Fall 08 RTW.

Something long overdue.
Yes we can.

All 607 pages of it.

And this poem.
Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?
This grasshopper, I mean–
the one who has flung herself out of the grass,
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down–
who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.
I don’t know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
(The Summer Day, Mary Oliver, 1990)
That’s a wonderful overview of the year. Lots of great links there that I hadn’t explored. Thanks!
Ditto on what Vasta said. The love song was brilliant. As is that introvert link; I’ll need to save that one.
