Rapunzel! Rapunzel!
written by Kenn Nesbitt

“Rapunzel! Rapunzel! You’ve cut off your hair!
Your billowing tresses are no longer there.
That mohawk you’re sporting is spiky and pink.
I’m really not certain just what I should think.

“I came here expecting to clamber a braid,
ascending your tower to come to your aid.
Instead I have suffered the greatest of shocks
to find that you’ve cut off your lovely blonde locks.”

“Prince Charming, Prince Charming,” Rapunzel replied,
“I have no intention of being your bride.
We will not get married. We will not elope.
I’ve cut off my hair and I’ve braided a rope.

“You came here to visit me once every day,
and promised that soon you would take me away,
but you were too clueless to even conceive
of cutting my hair off so we could just leave.

“I cannot believe you were such a big dope.
I come and I go as I please with my rope.
And so, I’m afraid I can’t give you my hand.
In spite of the fabulous wedding you planned.”

From then on Rapunzel was known through the land.
She toured the world in a rock and roll band.
And silly Prince Charming, with rocks in his head,
rode off and got married to Snow White instead.

one of each please!

We took home all of these posters and more!


Our most favorite local theater, The Athena had a poster sale last week. $2 posters were up for grabs all week long. Aaron found some amazing ones like Brick, 28 Weeks Later and Perfume.

This week the poster sale is over so the theater is giving away the remaining posters. For free. Aaron and I rummaged around in the poster boxes for some time on Sunday evening and walked out with 20 - 25+ movie posters. For free. The girl at the popcorn counter must have thought we were crazy. We were really dedicated to getting every cool poster that was there. I picked up a few that I can use in a future classroom and Aaron grabbed a bunch to go along with the other horror movie posters in his room here at school.

How can you partake in the awesome free poster fun? Ask the owner of your local theater if they have a poster sale and then go when they do. If you don’t want to wait for a yearly poster sale then get a job at a movie theater. My friend Sarah who worked at the giant Muvico in MD used to get free movie swag all of the time. yay awesome free stuff.

In other news, yesterday morning when I was on my way to class I walked up the steps at the side entrance of the COE building and came face to face with THE CREEPIEST planter that I have ever seen in my life. When I first saw it I had to stop and look to see if anyone else was around, then I inspected it to find that it was not a cute child hiding behind a plant but that it really, truly was an armless-half-child-mannequin-torso-statue with a full blooming plant in place of a head! After class I made sure to take a picture of it just to prove to the world outside of the COE just how creepy it is.
