  1. Qimi... I don't even know how to respond to that. With shock, awe, dismay, outrage, enthusiasm, joie de vivre? Okay, I confess, most of those options are a little extreme. Yet... a brilliant haiku (I've never written a haiku, I don't think the brevity suits my rambling style! ), and then a poem mixing thin mint cookies and Thomas Pynchon? Overwhelmed. So you may certainly say so yourself. Yes. I'd suggest a little more enthusiasm from my part than "not a bad effort" suggests. Something a little more along the lines of A.MaZing. That's just me though. Superfluous or something close.

    What about Krasznahorkai? Would he devolve into a thin mint cookie connoisseur?
  2. Yes. Yes, it is worth it (munch). Especially when it's chocolate and mint. I wrote a haiku celebrating the event:


    chocolate and mint
    so...so...delicioso
    that's what love should be

    And you know, I wonder, would Thomas Pynchon like Thin Mint cookies? Would he allow himself to?

    Could thomas pynchon indulge himself
    in a thin mint cookie?
    would it move him to decadence-
    the curve of it, the parabola?
    Would he see the lusciousness of
    the thin thinness, the minty mintyness
    and feel that his humanity had been lost
    as surely as dew is on a summer morning?
    and would he then go insane?
    All for the want of a thin mint cookie
    all for the tickle of it's cool, cool taste?

    I think, perhaps, you could capture his voice better, but not a bad effort, if I do say so myself. And I do.
  3. You are certainly most welcome. I am glad you're feeling much better now. If it was just a little bit better, I'd have to hang my head with shame. Oh, dramatics. Thin mint cookies do sound awesome. And I could see that ten thing happening. I adore mint, chocolate combinations, especially with ice cream. It follows that I have an alarming tendency to forgot that moderation is key with these things, and then lo and behold, the ice cream is all gone, and a terrible tummy ache ensues. Still, it is so worth it, n'est-ce pas?
  4. I was feeling kind of blah, having just eaten ten thin mint cookies(which are just as awesome as they sound, provided you don't eat ten at one time), and then I got your friend request. So, thanks. Feeling much better now.
