At least the past few weeks have enabled me to finish the poetry compilations beloved on the earth, Love Poems for Real Life, and Richard Wright's Haiku: This Other World. Snooped a bit at some old Coleridge, but still haven't reread "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" like I intended. For some reason started to reread Kerouac's Book of Haikus again, even though I'm still only half through The Best American Poetry 2009 and Bukowski's The Pleasures of the Damned: Poems, 1951-1993. I really like Bukowski's stuff. I already knew that from snooping on the web, but I really, really am digging this compilation a lot. Planning on rereading it once I finish--want to make notes of favorites. Might need to start picking up all of what he'd published.

The aunt is doing well still--talking and being awake much, much more. Even getting some of her snark back, and for some reason she started to sing the beginning of the Lollipop song at her infectious disease doctor when he stopped by on rounds. Starting to feel optimistic about things. o/

Other than that...spnland fun has started \o/ While in WoW news, I suck. \o/ So frustrated with how lackluster warlock destruction dps is lately, despite being a pure damage class--and with feeling invisible in the guild no matter if I'm doing well or average (oh but hey, if I mess up...even though some mess up a lot and don't get these comments made). Ahwell. If my biggest woe is about sucking at a computer game, life must be getting back to normal a bit, no? :|
