The B-Side: May 2009
http://marissadesantis.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2009. Remember when I complained about Last Call Cleveland's "Hastily Made Tourism Video"? Well, Kevin Hornsby (my awesome cousin) and I created our own tourism video for Positively Cleveland's Hastily Made Tourism Video Contest. Please, please view our video and rate it (five stars would be nice)! The more views we get and the more five-star ratings we get, the better chance we have of winning. Forward this video to your friends. Let's get viral! And thanks so much for your support.

The B-Side: Denver Day 4: Tulo!
http://marissadesantis.blogspot.com/2010/10/denver-day-4-tulo.html
Saturday, October 2, 2010. Denver Day 4: Tulo! Served us an insane brunch. Their western-Mexican culinary flair manifested itself in spicy queso egg bakes, creamy chorizo gravy over biscuits, seasoned homefries with bell peppers and onions, bacon, and delicious green grapes coated in yogurt and drizzled with the same agave nectar that's used in their famous Agave Wheat. After our Breck tour, we somehow ended up getting a private tour of Great Divide. Outside of regular business hours. On our last day of ...

Wednesday, October 15, 2008. I came to Panera to write tonight. I often find that I'm more able to concentrate outside of the house, where I don't have a needy kitten or a DVR to distract me. This is why I come out to write. To be in the middle of everything, to witness the mundane, the traumatic, the ecstatic, the odd, the trivial. Tonight I got a little bit of everything in one sitting, and I haven't even gotten a refill yet. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Cellar Dwellers (Comedy).

Wednesday, June 04, 2008. My professors of creative writing recently sent me a book of surrealist games. I decided to do some "automatic writing" exercises. Each of these short pieces were written without editing, without planning, without stopping. Every time my consciousness slowed or became too present, I ended my piece. The only real "edits" are the breaks that form sections. Here they are:. The thirteen year-old kid from the floor below hooks the cart to the back of his banana bike and pumps standin...

Tuesday, October 14, 2008. In the land of dissonant whistles. And skinny trouser legs clinging. To the ankles of mad lovers,. And of the desperate menthol burn. Warm tongue vibrations hum. Inside painted stained dead walls,. Unknown bruises and a burning lead singer,. His necktie caught in a woodchipper crowd. Of nodding samefaces,. Levitating bottles of beer. Hiding in the standing-room shadows. Of Thursday night, I am reeking with sex. And breathing the stagnant loitering ego,. The musk of hip,.

Friday, April 25, 2008. I found this scribbled on a scrap of paper while I was cleaning my desk yesterday. I'm assuming it's the beginning of a poem, so that makes it qualify for my "Poem-a-Day" challenge. It has no title, and the penmanship is horrible. Gestalt dot matrix particles. Before it left behind. That's it. Sounds like an ode to my parents' old Apple II GS, complete with noisy dot matrix printer and those perforated reams of paper. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Thursday, October 30, 2008. A few days ago I ate a can of Campbell's condensed chicken noodle soup. This may not seem so impressive or interesting or uncommon, but to me, scooping spoons full of thin, salty, golden broth with its wiry inch noodles and tiny chicken bits was satisfying in such a pure, unpretentious, classic way. And the commercial with the snowman is pretty adorable, too. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Cellar Dwellers (Comedy). I like writing and making people laugh.

The B-Side: Mmm Mmm Salty
