iViva la fiesta!

10am am on a sunday, and i'm at bobst library. with a marketing final and a paper to rewrite on robert burns sitting in front of me, i figure the best thing i can do right now is blog. especially since i haven't documented all of the sweet stuff that's gone on this month. number one highlight of thanksgiving break: bonus eventus cd release of canaceros! i think the night over winter (thanksgiving? i don't remember) break last year when we all went to the studio and sang the back-up vocals for the record was one of the best days at home to date. dave words that night way more eloquently on the new cd.

my computational lit theory course is one of the most eccentric courses i've taken here, and my prof assigned a final project of do-anything-you-want-to-do-as-long-as-it-has-to-do-with-words. i did a "deformance," or a text alteration, of pound's "in a station of the metro" which was pretty sweet. my friend, however, had a way cooler project: he created a bunch of erasure poems, which i had no idea existed until he told me about them. i'm sure i'm the only one who didn't get the memo on this one, but for anyone who doesn't know, an erasure poem is one that is derived completely from a prose passage. you erase the words from the passage that you don't want in the poem, preserving the white space. anyway, i want to do one sometime soon. i just can't think of which text to pick.

marketing calls.

keep the faith, as my dad says.
