http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2008/05/how-to-maintain-not-quite-daily-habits/; Some great tips for maintaining non-daily habits like exercising 3 days a week. I've already been using some of these techniques without even realizing it! And the habits I can't seem to maintain are the ones I don't apply the techniques to. Hmm...

http://jediliska.stumbleupon.com/; Hey, you have some really entertaining and interesting finds! Also, I just had to let you know that I loved what you wrote in your review of "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost. I'm so glad somebody actually read every line! Thank you for reading every line, lol.

1. The Road Not Taken. Frost, Robert. 1920. Mountain Interval: May 7, 8:33pm 16 reviews poetry, poems, poem, robert-frost
http://www.bartleby.com/119/1.html; One of my favorite poems -- almost everyone loves this poem! What's funny is that it's probably the most misinterpreted poem there is. People use it as an example of why you should "take the road less traveled", always including it in graduation ceremonies...

But in the poem he says the two roads are actually equal! For some reason, people ignore these lines:

"the other, as just as fair"

"the passing... had worn them really about the same"

"And both that morning equally lay"

He contradicts himself because he wants his decision to be important. He wants to tell a dramatic story to his grandchildren one day, so he'll sound wise. He wants to be remembered as a trail-blazer!

So, he just pretends he did something that made a difference. Is this really such a heart-warming, inspirational story? Not really. But it makes you think, so it's still a great poem -- just not meant for graduation speeches!

http://www.poetryfoundation.org/archive/poem.html?id=171361; "Why I am Not a Painter" by Frank O'Hara. It's a funny, cute little poem. To me, it's sort of mocking art in general, pointing out how silly it can be. But at the same time, it celebrates that silliness, like "Hey, we're crazy but it's fun being crazy!"

Or how about waffle kabobs with little chocolate-covered ice cream bites? Mmm...
