April is Eaten By Jaws the First

Alas, as we hath walked through the valley of death, that we should be so unfortunate as to hath need to walk once more under the shadow of death...Goodbye, National Poetry Month. I will try not to forget you next year....
And until that happy day cometh, I propose that we all set aside our greif today...and CELEBRATE! :) It's May! Finally! Which means that there's only one onth left of school! (Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out.) And i do intend on continuing to read poetry fro the rest of it...I don't know if any of you have ever found the "Shark Week" or "Alien" poems under Just For Fun on poets.org. Especially Shark Week...brings back memories of Jaws...*decapitated head pops out of hole in boat, hysterical screaming ensues* Maybe I'll actualy watch the whole thing next time... :/
I was looking at some of Christopher Rusk's other poems (he's the guy that wrote the poem about love and medicine) and he had two other poems on poets.org that I found, one of which I liked, the other of which was absolutely inappropriate. So he is no longer my favorite new poet.

On Lord of the Rings, our threesome finally got to Minas Morgul, and it actually sounds like a really cool place, not some weird green glowy thingy. And what I didn't get was that when all these troops were filing past our three "heroes", that it only took them what seemed like twenty minutes, tops, by the way J.R.R. Tolkien described it. And what's confusing me is that he said that there were also a lot of troops, so wouldn't it take a lot longer for all those troops to file past than twenty minutes? *sigh* Sometimes Mr. Tolkien can be so confusing.

This week's quotes come from two sources, since I couldn't decide which one to do....
"Music to drown by...now I know I'm in first class," -Tommy, from Titanic
"No cause is lost if there is yet one fool left to fight for it," - Will Turner II (Orlando Bloom), Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2008ish)

  2. Wait...is Tremors a movie? Because I know there are tremolos in Jaws music (that's the really quick notes with the same pitch- think machine gun)
