“ No Petrarch I, but you’re my Laura;
I’m Tithonus to your Aurora.
With every passing year I wither,
While you develop more come-hither.
If I reach ninety still alive
You’ll still be looking thirty-five,
But don’t despise him who adored you—
Whistle, and I will hobble toward you. ”

Ogden Nash, Untitled

On CNN, reporters are voicing concern about a possible Chinese retaliation at the US. They think this cat and mouse game with the Olympic torch might be seen as an embarrassment by the Chinese government.

** San Francisco tumblr meetup in MAY **

Finally!  A West coast tumblr meet up in the Bay Area! It looks like so many of you already know about this.  I should check tumblr more often.

letsmeetinsf:

OK it’s about time the bay area had it’s own Tumblr meetup (we gotta keep up people!) so I’ve taken initiative and created this group tumblelog so people can know tumblr happenings in SF!

I’m thinking the beginning of next month (May) for our first meetup.  Happy hour on a Thursday evening?  Other ideas?  Zeitgeist might work….

If you are in the bay area, REBLOG THIS!!  The more the merrier  :)  And for now (until I get the whole tumblr group thing down), email me at katy [dot] schnoor [@] gmail for an invite.

Death of the Semicolon?

I don’t know about you but I still use the semicolon. The article gives examples of writers who are for and writers against the use of semicolons, as well as those vacillating between.
For

You practically do not use semicolons at all. This is a symptom of mental defectiveness, probably induced by camp life.
George Bernard Shaw to TE Lawrence, on the Seven Pillars of Wisdom

Against
If you really want to hurt your parents, and you don’t have the nerve to be a homosexual, the least you can do is go into the arts. But do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites, standing for absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college.
Kurt Vonnegut

Undecided
I use it. I’ve no feelings about it - it’s just there. People actually get worked up about that kind of shite, do they? I don’t fucking believe it. They should get a fucking life or a proper job. They’ve got too much time on their hands, to think about nonsense.
Irvine Welsh

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

Some of my Pownce friends enjoyed this song when I posted it earlier so I thought I’d post it here on tumblr as well.
