Belvedere stresses when Wes's messes get reckless
I have decided that any further songs I create with the 50 state quarters theme will be under the name 'Gdansk Dance Revolution'. That's right. And the North Carolina one is coming at you by tomorrow.

I really like it when bus drivers wave to each other when they pass one another. I think it should be mandatory that anytime two people are driving the same vehicle they wave to each other, to show solidarity. I'm still debating whether it should apply to any two trucks/cars/same vehicle or if it has to be specific like two Dodge Dakotas or two Mazda Miatas.

Today I remembered that books may be borrowed for extended periods of time from a library for free. I checked out books on Flash and Perl. Why Flash? So I can make the digital/analog clock. Why Perl? So I can develop "the Timmer". The book is called "Teach Yourself Perl in 21 Days". And I'm going to do exactly that. So that by April 19th, which is coincidentally the day the book is due!, I will know how to use Perl and you'll be using "the Timmer" on a regular basis by the time I graduate, which depresses me (the graduating part).


Let me explain the Timmer a little better:
I want to be able to search through a dictionary and find words based on the letters in them and their order and frequency in those words. I'm learning Perl based on sckot's recommendation. With it, I can create a syntax to find these words. (From my notes last fall) I'd like to create a syntax as such:

If I typed: (2e, a), ph, -r, nt, ≤ 2L
it would read it as (the only vowels in the word are "e" and "a", and there are 2 "e"'s), there is a "ph" cluster, there is no "r", there is an "nt" cluster, there are two or fewer "l"'s.
It would then give me "elephant". Of course, that example is highly complex and of course it would come up with "elephant". I first came up with this idea when I wrote postcards from San Diego with poems that contained "e" as the only vowel.

The elf remembers when he felched the leper. The germs were there, yet he never delved deep. He peeled the checkered specks. He held the feeble crème, then he fled. Then he wept. Then he slept.

He yelled, "Free the weed!" Reefer feeds the cheese, Nestlé, Tex-Mex dependence. Where's dessert?

When the better letters fester, we keep "e". Then, we wreck verb sense:

me	we
ye	ye
he/she/the	them

Belle bleeds wet, red eggs when she enters her French velvet dress. She freezes. The creek extends, she reels, her knees bend. She fell.

"Err be men." Trek nerds send e-letters. The web renders them deeper creeps. Respect vexes the best.

Helen kvetches when her pet peppers pee next' the tree. Her effervescent green evergreens! She needs the smell.

The expert tells them, "Testes expel semen when men jerk erect penes." Restless teens pretend next semester, yet the phlegm never ejects.

Rednecks belch when beer meets them. Few brew the dew, lest Hell see them speed the descent.

Belvedere stresses when Wes's messes get reckless. The temper melts. He serves welts, pelts Wes. Esther peeks the scene.

Zeke wept. He'd been deserted. Then he checked the twelve ferrets, eleven eels, ten deer, seven geese, three sheep. "Yes!" He reflected, "The settlers fed me!"

"Where ye be?" He expected the NexTel's treble. "She never left, Trent!" The Nextel, Trent's spleen trembled. "She helped me. Her tender neck...ended the helplessness."

"Ellen Degeneres met Renée Zellweger when she let Cher see her new Mercedes Benz. She never knew the jewels fed her greed." -Rex Reed.

E.T. sees sex, then he freezes. The sheer presence perks the neck. Cells gel. He tweets, he yells. Testes tremble, descend, bleed. E.T weeps, he melts.

Beth Lester, Ted Hefner, Chester Clement were seventeen. Beth: debts cemented her grey hex. Ted: went' temple, except Lent. Chester: peddled west, never reverse.

And it was hard to find a search tool that would look for this stipulation for me. "The Timmer" I also envisioned a while ago has aspects that are now too similar to wikipedia. I think I'll keep it to a dictionary search function. The other thing I'd like to do with it is assign it identifiers like phonetic transcriptions, part of speech, etymology, themed category, related words, etc. Some of that is being done elsewhere and is already done, but I want this to be able to search and cross reference other words. It would be a nice tool for rappers. You know, like me. Oh, and I believe it was Morgan or someone else in A1 who decided to call it "The Timmer". I don't have another name for it yet.

I will also make it my life mission to be able to perform the Ursonate by Kurt Schwitters. (performed here by Christian Bok, who can be heard here performing a piece that has all the English words with y as the only vowel in them.)



Jeremy, of St. Patrick's Day fame, dropped me. And my dad filmed it while attending to my crying younger brother inside. This is a clip of Jeremy and me horsing around 16 years ago.
