Lists, lists, and more lists.

On page 116 of Finnegans Wake I stumbled upon what I believe to be a list of things. It states "For if the lingo gasped between kicksheets, however basically English, were to be preached from the mouths of wickerchurchwardends and metaphysicians in the row and advokaatoes, allvoyous, demivoyelles, languoaths, lesbiels, dentelles, gutterhowls, and furtz, where would their practice be or where the human race itself were the Pythagorean sesquipedalia of the panepistemion, however apically Volapucky, grunted and gromwelled, ichabod, habakuk, opanoff, uggamyg, hapaxle, gomenon, ppppfff, over country stiles, behind slated dwellinghouses, down blind lanes, or, when all fruit failes, under some sacking left on a coarse cart?"
Although I am not fully sure of what is being listed, it is apparent that he is listing things.

A glimpse into my kitchen

Here is a list of things that you will find upon walking into my kitchen, which is rather small and very cluttered:

Refrigerator, popcorn maker, bag of onions, stove, over mitts, egg beater, knife rack, spice rack, microwave, coffee maker, flour holder, sugar holder, brown sugar holder, scale, paper towels, sink, sponges, soap, utensil holder with several utensils in it, fish tank with two goldfish and a cleaner fish, fish food, 50's style radio, ipod speakers, gloves, George Foreman, several different kinds of bread, a black rug, three bar stools, a kitchen table with four chairs, a vase with colorful flowers, penguin salt and pepper shakers, a deck of cards, a little man with a tennis ball for a body and grass for hair (kinda like a chia pet), a giant stuffed penguin with a black Famous Stars and Straps hat on, a pink milk tin chair thing, a hand vacuum cleaner, and that is about it for my kitchen.

Finnegans Wake and Kelsey

As I was writing my blog about what I see before I go to sleep and when I wake up little did I know that I was speaking the words of Finnegans Wake. On page 148 it states "not for all the juliettes in the the twinkly way! I could snap them when I see them winking at me in bed." In my room I have different colored, sparkly stars all over my ceiling and they light up my room each night "winking at me in my bed". Who would have ever thought that I would share something in common with Finnegans Wake and all its craziness!

It was all just a dream!

I was walking down the mall with my friend Haily on our way to class. We were busy chatting away about the normal, random stuff we always find ourselves talking about. We entered into Reid not really paying attention to anything around us. As we made our way further into the building we began to notice that we were not in Reid, we began to freak out as we took in our surroundings. Just a few feet in front of us was a giant dinosaur eating the leaves off a ginormous brightly colored tree. We quickly began to walk backwards, our eyes fixated on the giant dinosaur. We were able to find a rock to take cover behind. As we sat there trying to figure out what had happened and what we were going to do, the ground began to rumble and a loud roaring could be heard, growing in intensity as it got nearer. We slowly and cautiously peaked over the top of the rock and saw a T-Rex making its way towards us at a very quick pace. We quickly dropped down to the ground, freaking out. Just as the T-Rex was nearing us, I rolled over and found myself back in my room, safe in my bed with no T-Rex in sight.
