Kimmy's Garden

Asunto:  Anuncio

Respondo a tu anuncio del periódico personal: me gustan mucho los museos y decorar las casas, ¡sobre todo la mía! Soy canadiense, pero mi familia es originaria de Noruega. Tengo treinta y ocho años, soy activa, dinámica, dedicada y muy sociable. Trabajo en una grande biblioteca en la universidad de Alberta en Canadá. Todos los fines de semana, juego o arbitro los juegos de rugby – así es que estoy desmasiado ocupada. Descanso los domingos con las películas y muchas palomitas. ¡Quiero una vida más artistica! Necesito trambién un cambio en mi mundo.

¿Necesitas tal vez un nuevo punto de vista de una fotógrafa, y una nueva amiga? Deseo ser tu amiga. Por favor, escríbeme un correo electrónico a mi dirección. Hasta pronto, Kim

!Cuanto tiempo sin verte! ?Qué tal?
?Comó son tus classes, y tus profesores? ¿Cuál es tu clase favorita? ¿Bailas o duermes las noches del sábado? Dime.

Me gusta el campus de la universidad de Alberta. De hecho, la universidad tiene 100 años este septiembre. Llego a la universidad a las ocho de la mañana, ¡casi la madrugata! Este semestre tengo solo tres clases porque cinco es desmasiado dificil. Matemáticas y español son muy interesantes, pero estadistica es aburrida! Trabajo en la biblioteca como siempe, y miro la televisión.

¿Cuándo visitas el Canada? ¡Vamos de tapas!
¡Hasta luego amiga! Kim

I am preparing a male impersonation act, and what better subject to include than meat. I over heard a fellow rugby player talking, and he has inspired me to write a little something on Meat:

  I like my meat real thick:

you know,

like one-and-a-half or two inches thick. Mmm.

  And I like it pink:

you know, oh yeah,

seared goodness on the outside,

but rare, raw and tender on the inside,

there, you know, right in the middle.

  Oh, and I like it hot:

you know,

flaming hot, ooo,

with all those juices running down!

  And I like it really spicy:

fiery flavour, oh yeah,

tasty tasty tasty!

gimme some of that salt-and-pepper,

if you know what I mean.

  But, you know,

I especially like my meat jerked,

oh yeah,

and some of those other rubs are real nice too.

  I do love my meat. Mmm, mmm!

I am not sure if you have thought about this, but what about starting your own escort business on facebook (TM):

facehook – a Social Utility that connects you with the people around you, for cash. You could set up events, make a list of “friends”… I checked on the web and no-one has come up with it yet.

Sorry sorry, let’s forget the whole thing, forget I mentioned it; we’re all having a good time and of course someone had to wreck it. I think someone is putting thoughts into my head while I am sleeping… must check my wall-to-wall.

I think that it is actually a front for the FBI collecting all of our personal data and especially the tagging photos … what better way to get face shots of every one who knows so and so, they can now scan faces in surveillance capture film more thoroughly… And those applications! So fun, I am a big fan of the horoscopes app!

I am going to come up with an application that compares facial features of people on facebook to animals. People can tag their eyes, nose, mouth in different photos and run it (like CSI & fingerprints) through a db of tagged animal photos from National Geographic or something like that. There may be a problem of copy right, gotta re-think that. Ah! How cool would that be though? Now, if only I knew how to write the code …

NO stealing my ideas…

An afternoon class of writing poetry last week was quite an adventure. The instructor was Sheri-D Wilson, a fantastic Spoken-Word artist, one of the first & best as a matter of fact . If you do not know what Spoken-Word is, you simply must attend the Edmonton ROAR festival this September.

Anyway, I won’t ruin the magic by telling you in detail what we did all week in order to create, but it was a great week. Pick a theme, do some prompts, learn about others’ poetry, get inspired by each other, sharing our works of art, talk about what makes it soooo gooooood, and take it farther. The poem which I posted on June 8 is something I wrote from one of Sheri-D’s prompts using Anne Waldman’s “Fast Speaking Woman” poem. The next generation of poems you find posted here will be the product of the seeds of the vision that was planted in my brain (S&G) during this course led by Sheri-D through the Faculty of Extension.

Further to the poetry in Edmonton, I was always aware of the Stroll of Poet’s Society , the Stroll (October), and the 12 Days of Poetry (January). Then later I find out that I know Jocelyn Verret-Chiasson, the former President, who put on an enjoyably intimate suite of Monday night readings at the Upper Crust for $5 – and let me tell you, best entertainment a five spot can buy you. A great evening of poetry, socializing, and dessert with coffee!! I recommend this series of events to everyone.

This winter, again, I found out too late about the Raving Poet’s Society who were having readings as well on Wednesday nights at the Casbar (basement of Yianni’s on Whyte). Ah! Next season, I am there!
