Highlights of Posts from This Year

 January

I wrote this goodnight speech:

And as you head off to sleep, remember that in all of you there exists something very special, a skeleton. An assemblage of bones that gives form and function to your body. And what is a bone but a kind of specialized rock that your cells learned how to create because it was awesome. Long ago cells learned the recipe for making rocks and the world has never looked the same since. And while you slumber you will appear to all the world a pile of rocks wrapped in a bag of skin and stuffed with sauce and meat. Not unlike a magical calzone. Which is italian for a pants leg. And magic calzone in italian calzone magico

February

I wrote a poem called big words:

look at my big words

ha ha ha

everyone smiles and claps

my big words march down the street like a parade

they crash into a bank and eat all the money

but I don't even say sorry

I would never apologize to a bank

Also I made up a holiday called Bamboozle Day that we never did at camp but I'll try to remember this year.

March

I made up a game called Dentist Simulator that sounds like a decent bit.

Here's a poem called Are You in the Bathroom

are you in the bathroom

I bet you are

dancing the dance of kings and pharaohs

and the water is made of jewels

and the paper is made of silk

and the bowl is made of gold

and the writing on the bathroom stall wall

says you're the most famous reindeer of alllllllllll
