Good Morning World Of Mine

I just found two haiku on the first page of a diary that is otherwise blank. I don't know when I wrote them. I searched the blog and it seems I haven't posted them before. In looking for those poems this four year old post about the world of the Y.U. library came up. I had forgotten ever writing that piece. Reading it was like experiencing someone else's work, more enjoyable than reading my own essay.

People worry (sigh)

about what will be later

letting now slip by

People survive now

by dreaming about later

It keeps us alive

I am thinking about loss and forgiveness and and and. There are no words for the pain of loss. No matter how long the build-up process, in the end it is always sudden.

"Would you like pizza?"

"One slice - I'm on Weight Watchers."

Long ago, just now

I have several posts congealing, and much more.

I just learned that Julie and Julia is the first movie ever to capture the psyche of an avid blogger. Hmmm.

Someone that was in my yeshiva in Israel at the same time that I was has just came out with another novel. Entertainment Weekly says, "Yes it's too early to pick The Book Of The Year. But if this novel isn't a contender, we'll eat our Kindle." Whoa.

Cold Souls has hit theaters. Sounds good. Get ready for lots of action figures and catch phrases proliferating the buzz this blockbuster is sure to generate.

I can't get through a Harry Potter book. And yet, The Magicians sounds like it might work for me.

More later. Maybe. (Can you name the movie in which the main character catches a boy falling from a tree and bemoans the fact that the boy does not say "thank you." As they part the man calls to the boy, "See you tomorrow... Maybe?")

PS - Why do people seem happy that today is supposed to be the hottest day we've had this summer?
