So i just realized that I had dinner in the oven, and didn’t turn on the timer. So how do I go about finding out how long it’s been in there? Check my internet history, of course! I remember what page I was looking at after I popped it in and sat down.

“Obama’s Inauguration needs no heightening. It’ll be its own history, its own...”

And while I agree with that, I approve of Obama’s choice of Elizabeth Alexander as his Inaugural Poet. Check her stuff out here. I’m a big fan of “Stravinsky in L.A.”, “Ars Poetica #100”, and “Ars Poetica #28: African Leave-Taking Disorder”.
