Experiential Typography | One Day Poem Pavilion | Jiyeon Song


This is the most amazing site. It's a geometric shape rather like a half dome that has holes cut in it. At certain times of the day and of the season, it shows poetry. Incredible. A genius made this. Visit it soon!

I Love Baseball, no...I love the RED SOX!!!!

Yes, I am a rabid Red Sox fan. I'm not sure how anyone in New England can NOT be! Mike Lowell is my favorite player and I was so relieved when he re-signed! My second favorite, Doug (Dougie's going deep tonight!) Mirabelli is sadly, gone from Boston now, but not forgotten by many fans just like me.

I found this great baseball quote by Hall of Famer Willie Stargell: "Throwing a knuckleball for a strike is like throwing a butterfly with hiccups across the street into your neighbor's mailbox".

So, let's also bow down to Tim Wakefield!!!

I don't THINK so!

Cat Laws...kinda why I love 'em!


Cat Laws

  • Law of Cat Inertia: A cat at rest will tend to remain at rest, unless acted upon by some outside force, such as the opening of cat food, or a nearby scurrying mouse.

  • Law of Cat Motion: A cat will move in a straight line, unless there is a really good reason to change direction.

  • Law of Cat Magnetism: All blue blazers and black sweaters attract cat hair in direct proportion to the darkness of the fabric.

  • Law of Cat Thermodynamics: Heat flows from a warmer to a cooler body, except in the case of a cat, in which case all heat flows to the cat.

  • Law of Cat Stretching: A cat will stretch to a distance proportional to the length of the nap just taken.

  • Law of Cat Sleeping: All cats must sleep with people whenever possible, in a position as uncomfortable for the people involved as is possible for the cat.

  • Law of Cat Elongation: A cat can make his body long enough to reach just about any counter top that has anything remotely interesting on it.

  • Law of Cat Acceleration: A cat will accelerate at a constant rate, until he gets good and ready to stop.

  • Law of Dinner Table Attendance: Cats must attend all meals when anything good is served.

  • Law of Rug Configuration: No rug may remain in its naturally flat state for very long.

  • Law of Obedience Resistance: A cat's resistance varies in proportion to a human's desire for him to do something.

  • First Law of Energy Conservation: Cats know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed and will, therefore, use as little energy as possible.

  • Second Law of Energy Conservation: Cats also know that energy can only be stored by a lot of napping.

  • Law of Refrigerator Observation: If a cat watches a refrigerator long enough, someone will come along and take out something good to eat.

  • Law of Electric Blanket Attraction: Turn on an electric blanket and a cat will jump into bed at the speed of light.

  • Law of Random Comfort Seeking: A cat will always seek, and usually take over, the most comfortable spot in any given room.

  • Law of Bag/Box Occupancy: All bags and boxes in a given room must contain a cat within the earliest possible nanosecond.

  • Law of Cat Embarrassment: A cat's irritation rises in direct proportion to his embarrassment times the amount of human laughter.

  • Law of Milk Consumption: A cat will drink his weight in milk, squared, just to show you he can.

  • Law of Furniture Replacement: A cat's desire to scratch furniture is directly proportional to the cost of the furniture.

  • Law of Cat Landing: A cat will always land in the softest place possible.

  • Law of Fluid Displacement: A cat immersed in milk will displace his own volume, minus the amount of milk consumed.

  • Law of Cat Disinterest: A cat's interest level will vary in inverse proportion to the amount of effort a human expends in trying to interest him.

  • Law of Pill Rejection: Any pill given to a cat has the potential energy to reach escape velocity.

  • Law of Cat Composition: A cat is composed of Matter + Antimatter + It Doesn't Matter.

Mardi Gras


In the joy of celebrating Phil and Groundhog Day, Mardi Gras totally slipped my mind. It seems it's different from when I lived there. The parades are spread out over January and February, and there are many more krewes. I know one thing that hasn't changed, though. If you want to take the kids, stay away from Bourbon Street. Things can get pretty naked there.

Groundhog Day! Yes!



I loved the movie, and I love the day!! Is there another holiday dedicated to an animal??? I'm not sure, but if there is, this one remains the most famous. He did see his shadow today, so that means six more weeks of winter. I wonder if he knows the world has noticed that's when Spring starts anyway. Hopefully, not!
