Spring Semester Quotes

Sorry, there's not that many this semester. We were all pretty busy, and I lost a few after I upgraded my computer system. Enjoy the few here!


(After Andrew Decker's email to Bruce:)
ANDREW: Wow. Can you spell 'provincialism'?

JULIE: I'm gonna go see Rush and Phantom of the Opera! Phantom for him [Brian], Rush for me.
EASTON: Oh, really? Did you know that Rush stands for Ruled Under Satan's Hand, Julie?

CHANDLER: You know...you could live a double life.
JULIE: Hmmm....I could live a double life.
JONATHAN: I don't know about that. Remember that Flinstones when Fred tries to go to a fancy dinner date with Wilma and attend a business meeting at the same time? And if Fred can't do it...well....

EASTON: I'm gonna stop talking now. I didn't talk to anyone as a child.

CASSIE: We have such beautiful scenery here. We have the mountains! The lake! I mean, everything is right here in this valley. I don't know why anybody moves.

EASTON: I had a crush on my third grade teacher. I didn't understand what I was feeling.

ANDREW: I didn't mean to accuse you of cheating. I just thought you had cheated.

MATTHEW: Does anyone have Evil Empire by Rage Against the Machine? I've never heard it.
KELLEN: You've never heard it? [Pulls out MP3 player, hands it over.] Welcome to music.

ANDREW: Does anybody have a breath mint? Peppermint? Gum? ...Olive oil? Something?

JULIE: Are we the only ones on?
MATTHEW: Yeah...except for Andrew. He's in the corner, wearing the invisibility cloak.
BRANDON: Watch out for his legs!

CASSIE: I'm stuck on this conclusion.
MATTHEW: I'm sorry. I've been stuck on mine for a week--
CASSIE: I don't have a week!

WHITNEY: She's adorable! I might steal her.

JULIE: What's the best Chinese food in Utah?
HEIDI: I dunno...P.F. Chang's is my favorite.
EASTON: P.F. Chang's? Really? But they're so corporate.

Affirmative Reaction

SCOTT: There's no paper.

MATTHEW: Yes, there is.

SCOTT: Well, no white paper.

MATTHEW: ...What's wrong with colored paper?

Aloof from all servile certainty, the man's smile glimmered placidly. Then upon finding his receipt quite incorrect, he slid from his seat, slipping his switchblade into his compation's breast pocket, point up, and strolled to the exit. It was raining outside.

Hobble Creek Review

I added a post about this on my personal blog, but I think readers here will likely be interested in Hobble Creek Review (HCR).

HCR is a poetry publication edited by an old friend of mine that focuses on "place." They just released their new issue, which includes some great stuff. My favorites include Merry Christmas by YZ Chin, Grounded by Sherry O'Keefe, and Hollandia, Dutch New Guinea 7/28/44 by Hugh Aaron. The latter piece is creative non-fiction -- a letter written by a 19-year-old soldier to his mother during WWII. The author (Hugh Aaron) is now a playwright living in Maine.

If you're interested in submitting your work for upcoming editions, read about it HERE.

Enjoy!
