the state of me

I have a giant crush on Enrique Murciano. He plays Danny Taylor on CBS' "Without A Trace" and even though I'm quite sure I'd watch the show if he wasn't on it, it's a requirement that I watch the show because he is. Watch the show. Look at his face. Listen to his voice. You'll see what I mean.

I saw a woman today, at the Hynes T-stop, carrying not one but two, TWO tubas!

In my twelfth grade Humanities class, our two teachers, Mr. Wyer and Mr. Kersh made us memorize poems by listening to them repeat them to us in front of the class. This was pre-internet, type-a-line-in-google-and-find-the-whole-poem-1992. I recently started trying to remember them. I like to say them back to myself. To find a poem, I typed a line into google and out popped the whole poem, leading me to this awesome website bartleby.com.

This was the first poem we had to memorize that year.

The Lover in Winter Plaineth for the Spring
  
O Western wind, when wilt thou blow  
  That the small rain down can rain?  
Christ, that my love were in my arms  
  And I in my bed again!

Anonymous, 16th century
