Arielle Mari

You see, we have this sister named Arielle Mari. She is talented and dramatic. Creative and unpredictable. We love her despite her ever-changing hair. As we write, she is flying through the air, crushing our hopes and dreams. We started this blog in the hopes that one day we would all be reunited, writing and adventuring together. But, alas, this may not be. She may not find us in our happy little southern town until one of our numbers has already departed for a cold and dismal state. And then we shall be three, just three, yet again. And this is why we cry tears of devastation and reform. Pray for us in our time of need.

My Humble Abode


My Dear Children,
I thought I might share with you the image of my future abode, once I come into fantastic riches that I am sure await me in my future.

Your Servant,

To be or...

The next time you feel inclined to burst out in iambic pentameter, dear readers, take inspiration from these merry players: http://theater.nytimes.com/2011/08/15/theater/shakespeare-on-the-subway.html

Yours truly saw them perform several moons before. Stayed on the delightful 1 train a few extra stops to witness Hamlet's demise.

I'm Reading BBC in Hindi


Can I read Hindi you may ask.
The answer: sort of. Not really. No.
Why, then, am I reading BBC in Hindi?
The answer is beyond even me.

Regards,
Cagney

Ode To A Chipmunk

As you sit on the couch
Your face like a pouch
I am reminded of that grouch
With the slouch (aka Voldemort)

Why you remind me of him I cannot say
All I know is that I want to keep you at bay
So that you cannot damage my caché
Or burn my precious bouquet

I hope that your mouth reduces in size
Otherwise you may meet an untimely demise
But perhaps this is a good disguise
In which case normalcy would be unwise

Forever your partner in crime even if you look like a chipmunk,
Cagney

A Story, A Companion to Your Evening Hot Chocolate and Mangoes

Once upon a time there was a humble prince named Winston. He was simple and salubrious and only desired to find a mate that would befit his humble lifestyle, and so, humble Winston set out on an expedition to find this one fair and true maiden. He mounted his milk white steed, Jurgis Von Grafenburger IV, and held his fist fiercely in the air as if in celebration—in celebration of what, I know not. (We can only assume it was in recognition of his humbleness.) He pulled the reins encircling Jurgis Von Grafenburger IV’s neck and began his journey with the utmost humility. As he was riding into the sunset (again, why he was leaving at sunset and not sunrise is unknown to me) he flashed a brilliant smile of pearl-like dentures and a humble glance back at the courtiers shrinking into the landscape. As he shot this humble glance their way, he fell off of Jurgis Von Grafenburger IV and suffered a massive concussion. He lay on the moist soil, unconscious yet continually humble as his family rushed to his side. He was rushed to the E.R., but, alas, nothing could be done, and humble Winston flew to Elysium.
