Ballad of the wheel
Thesis on Simic
Exegetes
Baconian (Looking at the annotated Thoreau, I realise with my interest for new words, I am or should be an annotator), Thoreau says is not the way to go. Its through senses. The divide continues. Charles Simic refers to the Noumenon in Bric-a-brac.

A books wormhole

Last night, I was thinking about the fictional books in Fellowship of Alien detection and Lenny Cyrus. What about a character who writes his/her writing in these books.

Circus circle



I thought the ring in Three ring circus and the ringmaster referred to the hoop that the lion has to jump through. The word circus itself refers to the center ring. Imagine Moscow state circus with its six rings.

The cover seems so familair



Almonds in bloom  knopped 
spinet
versicolor . verse- to turn
On Rumpus
The above words are beautiful. The language works.
The tight poetry of some of the poems n soldier in lines paras wasnt inviting. Space, you are so essential.
Landscape with figures partially erased makes bold statements where we just try to grapple what memory does to us, the poet portrays our part in it too. Like The simile of wild carrot, you can feel the texture of the poem too. In an ad on TV about Mesa Market place swap meet, a lady is shown painting a huge carrot on easel and I wonder what makes  a person paint an ordinary object on such a large scale. Still life but also large. And if she were to know this poem, she might just shudder.

Wonderland of ordinary wheels

Yesterday I read about the stolen cycle bazaar and a friend was telling me about how he lost his phone and had to negotiate for what price he could get it back.
With a serious thing like bicycle tax, the pantomime thieves use the license plates for more cash flow. Tax plate checking reminds me of ticket inspection in bus.

How writings shows the self



Remembering experiment
When you are writing and realise what you are writing is ordinary, he choice of what you need to write is its won stamp for the future historians to decode it. The author dissects her father's writing of what and how he chose to write his memoir and how it reflects on the perceptions held by the writer.

Imagine a yard sale scene where your family things that have been usurped from your family are at your will o be reclaimed. The author's family on one side found their genealogy book.

Age and culture modulate object when I looked at the pictures, I found the ones with changing background interesting.

Play and learn

MIT relativity game. There must be games with learning theme.

Litcity



I was thinking about nouns and verbs and thought how they are like DC (Direct current) and AC(Alternating current)

Zorba



I had heard the interview on NPR but didnt know the celebrity mom was fabulous Nia Vardalos.
Improvisation
I was so pulled between these two books. I already had a big stack collected for the week. Luckily or unluckily for me, some other reader lightened my burden by choosing the wolf book.

Evolution of elements

Here's a timeline of discovery of elements. I am interested in how they have evolved since then.

What to do with summer?



With summer approaching, the teens have their summer camp and activities in place. Haley’s summer is about to take a storm-chaser pace trying to do justice and more to the alien detection fellowship she has won.
The description is fruitful. With details down to the sawdust in the barn, the scenes are easy to transport you into Haley’s world. The author has successfully created characters that you want to protect and keep out of harm’s way in the adventures.

It is easy to see why the book has gone into many pages. But after about 140 pages, I felt that with the introduction of two brand new characters, the book would have done better split into a sequel. 

Like Abhimanyu's character, she has gone into a mission and cant turn back.

At Tempe public library, we attended Craig Davis Magic show and show. When we got to the library, we were half an hour late. But because of the popular demand they had another show an hour later.
There was a mom with brown purse which was a huge rose with big petals. She and her son were singing the Popcorn rhyme.
