  • First weekend in August

    I spent Sunday at Leesburg Outlet and finished most of my Christmas shopping, spending perhaps more than I should have. Thinking I will save a few dollars during the Sales Tax Holiday, I go overboard. I can be so stupid at times. Oh well. Too late now...

    I mean the spending, of course, not the stupidity...

    Well, mostly the spending...

    Anyway, August has arrived and that means the Fall semester is a month away. Time to get some work done before school starts. There were not very many readers who showed an interest in Senryu, so I've decided to do it another time, perhaps in a different format--I mean, how can you have a salon/contest and choose winners with only ten poets. If there were six who placed, what would that mean for the other four? Nah, that would be too mean. Sorry to those who were looking forward to composing a Senryu. Of course, you could post a random one just for the heck of it, like say, on the topic of "the ice cream man"?

    Ice cream jingle nears.
    Hope mom gives me some money
    After I've yelled "Stop!"

    Whatever happened to the ice cream man? Does he still drive through your neighborhood?

  • u finished x'mas shopping in august!?!?!?!?!?! wow!

  • Onigiriman the shopaholic!  I totally forgot about that tax-free holiday.  Went to Tyson's corner on Saturday and holymoly that place was PACKED!

  • I used TO BE an Ice-Cream man

  • Didn't you and I have a conversation about the ice cream man not too long ago? He doesn't come by my neighborhood anymore, but he does go to my cousin's place. Every weekday around 2:30 in the afternoon. Next time I'm going to be prepared. I'm going to wait for him and catch him.

    I hope they still have It's-its.

  • A bit too often.. 
    There are two elementary schools that I live a good distance between, in my neighborhood.. as well as a highschool and a community college.. all in one neighborhood, and within walking distance. 

    The icecream man doesn't stop coming, and there are like three different guys that drive around. 

    But come to think of it, I haven't heard the songs lately...

  • ice cream man is here,
