Karma Laundrette

We skip school! (little Langston shout out, there)

::tackle glomps you:: I sighed up for the Gud ficathon! ::bounces:: Heee!

From:

HA! I love all the poetry that came out of the Civil Rights movement and Harlem's heyday, sho nuff.

I see! I'm so glad!!!

Nice poem. I like Hughes. I was shopping for poetry last night and almost bought his book of haiku (that being my most beloved form of poetry). I decided on two other books instead, but will probably go back for Hughes eventually. :)

I don't think Vito's going to ... you know, either. I'm of mixed mind though of whether he turns rat or gets whacked. We'll see. I'm curious to see if Fin gets pulled into this, if anyone will find out that he knew about Vito being gay. And I have to say I was pretty shocked (and cracking up laughing) at Vito's little 'leatherman' outfit. I was not expecting that at all. But I was enjoyed it immensely.

I hadn't really thought about Johnny being wired ... very interesting. He loves his family and he wants out of jail and he's got major money issue right now, so it's possible. Hmm... Something to think on.

My SO and I were wondering at the end if Tony was puking blood or if he was supposed to have just eaten something with red sauce. My money's on blood. Not good.

But, but, my birthday was last month!::

::hides prodigious bottom by sitting on it::

From:

DAMMIT. I know that! I do... I wrote you FIC. Why did Semagic remind me of your birthday being tomorrow (which it isn't) when I loaded it up this morning???

Bah. *hugs you anyway*

From:

Oooooooh, Hughes is one of my faves. Gwendolyn Brooks, James Merrill, two other faves. I enjoy the haiku, and I enjoy teh haikus you post, as well.

And Tony's pretty much gunning for grandkids and is pushing Finn to be his son in law (even though I don't think he'll stick around - he's gonna spook, and he's gonna spook HARD.) If anyone touched Finn, I think Tony'd do 'em like that. *snaps* Vito's pretty smart - he won't touch him.

I immediately thought it was blood - he still has stiches! And Muscles Marinara elbowed him in the incision twice. GAH. I had to look away. OUCH.

From:

...actually, wasn't that Gwendolyn Brooks?

*knows her shit, yo*

(also hello! *intrudes on others' conversations cheerfully*)

From:

Dude, Langston Hughes is the greatest. Harlem Renaissance, hell YES.

Also I love April because I have a perfectly legitimate reason to shout lines from various poems in my apartment for no good reason. Other than, y'know, it scares the cat.

Wheeee!

I was right there with you on those elbows. Man. I was impressed with how realistic the puking was though.

Off to write today's poem. :)

From:

.....is it? You sure? Was she being ironic, because it doesn't seem like her style.

Then again, I haven't read every single thing the woman has written, so...

(intrude away!)

From:

I LOVE HIM. Oooh, scaring the cat is a good activity. Also: HELLO!!

From:

Perhaps because I had a really really shitty birthday with you know, those people leaving a big stinking mess and I get another shot?

Yessss, that must be it. A do-over.

(I KNOW you wrote me fic! B/G fic!!!!)

From:

Yikes, you're right, but it was the first thing I had on the tip of my brain, Harlem Renaissance-wise.

Whoops?

From:

*D'oh!*

Google is our friend. And I bow to your pulling that out of yo head, chile.

For my next trick! A Spoken Word Interpretation of Ashlee Simpson's "La La".

"You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream."

*waits for bongos*

April gives me a good reason to feel guilty about not writing poetry, which is supposed to be my actual thing, you know.

And I learn once more, every year, that neither assigning someone else to do it nor staring at it while I hang laundry on the line is a reliable way to rid the world of a dead Spirea bumalda.

Julia, also there is pollen out there

From:

Is cool! I just couldn't resist an opportunity to make myself look like I know something. They're really rare. The opportunities, I mean.

I want the rub the bunny in your icon's head.

From:

HELLO! Yeah, he's fun to scare. He's even funner (what.) when he runs headfirst into a door he KNOWS IS THERE.

Hee. Stupid kitty.

From:

What about THIS BUNNY?????

Egads!

From:

Fucking Christ I hate that girl.

HAHAHAHAHA!! OMG, when she says "wanna scream?" I totally know what she's talking about? And how sometimes? When my mom won't buy me new clothes and shoes? And I've totally worn everything in my closet twice? And I'm all, "Mom? You want me to look retarded?" And she doesn't LISTEN TO ME?

I totally want to scream, too.

French maids are hott.

From:

GACK. I was COVERED in pollen yesterday from an invasive artemesia I'm testing for TAMU. Loooong shower. I'm itching just remembering it.

(I'm a bit too lazy right now to trudge out back and pull up the name. Let's just say it looooooves my hard clay and sun.)

Fourth - does ANYONE ELSE think Johnny Sacks was wired at the wedding to catch Tony??

Oh, my... I didn't even think of that. ::feels stupid:: And now I can't not think it...

From:

It's just... they made a point of dressing and undressing him, you know? At first I thought it was so they could make the GQ/patent leather joke, but then again, that would have been a HUGE missed opportunity on the Feds part.

And Sacks has a need to get out, you know? Could be why they made a show of blocking his daughter's car, him crying... That seemed a bit out of character to me. Even though he's a sucker for his family.

From:

...Oh my GOD, the poor female bunnies.

Also HAHAHAHAHA my brother's name is Robert. I will SEND HIM THIS LINK.
