Giving a Lot of Flicks

Life back in Boston.

Smooth sailing back to my dorm
only to be greeted by two curious heads
lifted slightly off the bed
and a pile of scattered laundry blocking my mattress

Going out for froyo in -10 degree weather
becoming certified penguins
Sleeping till noon
even though jet lag has long become an invalid excuse

Free food scouting begins
until you trek to H Mart
where you obtain all the fruit you can carry
and then return to watch Martin Yan relax a chicken
(a secret which he learned from his elderly men)

Frozen rivers,
warm uber drivers,
dim sum runs,
and dance moves with names like
the firebird

Coding for the first time, and realizing
to your mom's delight, that it is a lot of fun.
Reading about common women,
being ridonkulous,
and cooking frittatas in ovens and microwaves.

Black ninja, white ninja,
Heading to an awkward women frat
and running back through the city lights.

The cold is not too bad-
Connections are slowly, slowly building.

A couple of couplets on a couple of weeks

Two weeks 'til back I go
Likely stomping in piles of snow
To Cambridge for my first spring
A new semester; what could it bring?

Four more classes, some dance and more
Probably panic about some low score
Naps and stress, but friends and fun too
Trudging through thick snow in rubber shoes

But for now how will my time be spent
Living at home with the old rents?
Maybe fitness, learn some skills
That fancy Chopin with all the trills
Run some more, drop the freshman weight
Apply for programs for my summer's fate
Plenty of coffee to keep me up
Avoid falling back into lethargy's rut

...That all sounds tiring. And rhymey. Might be easier to sleep and eat some more.

New Year Re-Solutions

Rather than make resolutions (which inevitably fail), I'm just going to re-solve some things. I mean, if they've already been solved, nothing can go wrong, right?

1) How to tie shoelaces:
With one's toes.

2) How to eat burger:
Insert into nose.

Carefully.

3) How to blog:
...Think... words... about...
sauce.

4) How to funny:
Laugh at own jokes.

(Like I am right now)

5) How to relationship:
Meet. Flirt. Court.

Basketball court.

6) How to coffee:
Not 3 cups. Not after 5:00 pm.

That explains this blog post.

Jitters.

7) How to New Year:
Take calendar.
Replace.

8) How to fitness:
Move. Eat.

Lots and nots, respectively.

9) How to blog (redux):
List things until it looks long.

10) How to happy:
Music. Love. Dance. Goals. And Sriracha.

Happy 2015!
