Haiku-a-Day Challenge: Week 8

It's finally happened. I've started dreaming in Haiku. It's ok though, because I was also a dinosaur in this dream.

Caturday 8/27/2011
Hiked Moosilauke
Waterfalls n shit: so good
Nap before FAMAP*

Sunday 8/28/2011
FAMAP aftermath
Broken bed, vomsing, horserace
Punched a hurricane

Computer broken
You Fucking Kidding Me Bro?
Fixed it on my own

Tuesday 8/30/2011
Best kickball game yet
Got three outs in one inning
China Deright: EARNED

Wednesday 8/31/2011
Brewed some pungent beer
Pump-kablooey Oatmeal Stout
More pumpkin: YES PLEASE
I just learned that I say "meal" as if it were two syllables, but it is actually one. MY ENTIRE MIND HAS JUST BEEN BLOWN.

Thursday 9/1/2011
Excellent potluck
D-Haus Reunion begins
The Bear has arrived

Friday 9/2/2011
Taking a half-day
Drinks outside with Joe and Kyle
Better than working

*FAMAP = Finish All My Alcohol Party

Haiku-a-Day Challenge: Week 3

Poetry is HARD WORK.

Caturday 7/23/11
Cool Cats went camping
Harbor Island adventure
Things got weird out there

Sunday 7/24/11
Grilling up some noms
Spur of the moment shindig
Poison ivy? CHECK.

Monday 7/25/11
Violently typing
Jet engines are fickle beasts
So many emails!

Tuesday 7/26/11
Kicked ALL the kickballs
Also tore my knees to shreds
So much blood. Standard.

Wednesday 7/27/11
Let me guess: more work?
Fun. Yeah, not like I'm busy
Wind turbines are hard

Thursday 7/28/11
Free music Thursdays.
Contemporary art? meh.
Great harbor sunset.

Fridayday 7/29/11
Early nap tonight
Tomorrow: Prezzie Traverse
Hopefully won't die?

Haiku-a-Day Challenge: Week 2

Second batch of the most poetic haikus that have ever existed. Yes, this is a bold claim, but NOT UNTRUE.


Caturday 7/16/11
Getting our beach on
Almost voms'd during frisbee
Moonlit skinny dip

Sunday 7/17/11
More perfect weather
Third Bar-B-Q in three days
You kidding me bro?

Monday 7/18/11
Thesis progressing
My adviser might leave Tufts
Shoot me in the face

Tuesday 7/19/11
Sometimes you need strength.
Maybe a break. But for now
you just need kickball.

Our team name is "Dr. Alan Grant and the Velociraptors." So clearly, we are dinosaurs in this picture. Another great game is to imagine that these are the faces everyone makes when they poo.

Wednesday 7/20/11
If tour driving I'd
live a pickup, otherwise
I'll be in a field
Went on a pub crawl for work event. This was a drunk text I sent to Michelle.

Thursday 7/21/11
It is balls hot out
Consider ways to keep cool:
Potluck without pants

Friday 7/22/11
Lunch will be awful
Accursed Chipotle food
Bye digestive tract

An additional haiku written by Andrew Miner, based on our discussion of me punching the Sun in the face because it is too hot out, and then constructing a new sledgehammer/raptor claw limb as a replacement:
Step One: punch the Sun
Burned arm needs to be remade...
Raptor claw-chain? Done.
