Hyperbole and a Half At around midnight last night, it started snowing. A lot. I got absurdly excited about it. My point is that after staring at me in silence for a few long moments in which I am sure he questioned some of his life decisions, Boyfriend was like "Fine." So Boyfriend got all bundled up while I checked to make sure everything was unplugged because I didn't want the house to catch on fire while we were gone and then I got dressed while Boyfriend sat on the couch in his snow-clothes looking like he was on some sort of detonation timer and if the timer went off we would no longer be allowed to go for a walk, so I put my hat and gloves on really fast and then I was like "I'm ready!" Boyfriend wanted to stop and take pictures of the snow and the pretty lights, but I was so excited that I took off running: And then I stopped because I had a really good idea and I yelled "Hey! Anyway, that's Main Street in downtown Hamilton, MT on a Saturday night. We got to the grocery store, and guess what? Not open.

Ono no Komachi Very little is known about this Japanese poetess, and most of it is legendary. She lived around 850 C.E. (b. 834?) What is certain about her, however, is that she was a major poet. I have sometimes commented on certain poems because the variations in translation are bewildering --- often changing the meaning of the original completely.

The Adroit Journal Submission Manager - Poetry (HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE) What is it? As a way of maintaining and extending our deep-rooted commitment to emerging writers, The Adroit Journal’s Summer Mentorship Program aims to pair experienced Adroit editors and staff with high school students (as of the 2013-2014 academic year) interested in learning more about the creative writing processes of drafting, redrafting and editing. The program is free to all, and will cater to the literary genres of poetry and prose (short story, creative nonfiction, etc.). The aim of the mentorship program is not formalized instruction, but rather an individualized, flexible, and often informal correspondence. It is our hope that mentees will feel comfortable sharing work at their own leisure with their Adroit mentors and, ultimately, with each other. Applicants should possess firm work ethic and some familiarity with the writing and workshop process, and should be comfortable with receiving (and, to some extent, giving) commentary and critique. How do I apply?
How Time Crystals Could Rewrite The Rules Of Physics If you overheard someone talking about time crystals in a bar, you’d think they were mad, or drunk. Or both. These things, theoretically, oscillate for eternity without any energy input whatsoever — and if that sounds like a perpetual motion machine, it’s because it is. Because that’s exactly the situation we find ourselves in. When matter crystallizes, its atoms spontaneously organise themselves into the rows, columns and stacks of a three-dimensional lattice. In other words, he’s saying it must be possible to create a crystal that has regular, time-varying motion going on inside — without any energy being dumped into the system. Fortunately, he has at least one team of researchers on his side. The only problem is that progress is slow: the Berkeley researchers have admitted that the project could take “anywhere between three and infinity years” to complete. Picture: Kostov/Shutterstock

LOVE HAD GONE AWAY by Maia Padua I saw you walking towards meGrinning, smiling as if you knew meWith confidence you lend your hand Asking me if you could be my man. Making me laughed and left without a wordLeaving you behind tongue-tied, like cut by a swordI never know I will still meet youFollowing me, like my shadow, wherever I go. You promised love and all the thingsWords of love blowing like windYou said you love me and you will always doGradually, I began to feel the same way too. But like a wind it stopped to blowYou’ve changed you’ve left and hurt me soI promised myself to continue to growEven I have loved you, even without you. Then again you’re walking towards meBut this time not grinning but looking like in vainOn bended knees, craving, hoping to love you againI can’t find the feeling, I can’t find the loveAll I can say is I’m really sorryLove for you have Gone away… _mai_01Oct09
