Man. I just woke up. At noon.
*yawn*
On the agenda today: finish a poem about the jazz mainstream, start another poem about Aristotle's theory that F=mv, pull up all of the oak tree runners in my yard, plus the usual cavorting. I also need to email Mrs. Liberatore about Latin Nationals registration. Eep.
I probably ought email Ms. Hamblin while I'm at it. Ms. Hamblin, my Latin I teacher, has left the profession to pursue. . . who knows what. She's very, very missed, and I didn't get to talk to her the last day of school as I'd hoped.
*yawn*
Got to get to work.

I just finished the one-act play that's been bugging me for quite a while.
You see, I wrote the first, second, and fourth scenes, but the third--where the plot turns, i. e. the most important scene--was giving me serious mind work. That's more evidence of the lack of solid distinction between analytical and creative arts. I had to do a damn lot of analysis for that scene, making everything work out logically. More than I spent on understanding the epsilon-delta definition of limit.
Put that in your Gabriel's horn and calculate its surface area.

Well!
Now that all of that is out in the open and off our chests, let's all breathe a sigh of relief, eh?
Today was somewhat blah. I just continued my move into a new room--the master bed of the house. I suppose I'm moving up in the world.
I found a bunch of crazy stuff from when I was four and five. Action figures, toy guns, that sort of thing.
I also came across a number of CDs I'd forgotten I had. Mana Unplugged was the weirdest, I think. Maybe The Beegees Live, One Night Only. Who cares?
Which is a question I'm increasingly (in the past 10 minutes, anyhow) asking myself re: this blog.
Hopefully my morale increases.

This is inaugural blog of in caseo veritas.
w00t.
I suppose an introduction is in order.
I'm Cooper. I attend a quite exclusive creative writing magnet program in San Antonio, Texas, the North East School of the Arts (NESA). My poetry has appeared in local and regional journals and won many local awards, my drama has been professionally produced in San Antonio as well as winning numerous awards, and my non-fiction essays and book reviews have been selected for publication in several venues.
Besides writing, I enjoy studying math and science; both provide many images, constructs, and aesthetic moulds that trun out to be quite useful, notions of a dichotomy between analytical and creative arts aside.
I also consider myself a Classics scholar with an emphasis on how Classical languages (Latin, Greek, Sanskrit), cultures, and literatures affect our modern English language and literature, as well as how they may be employed to enhance our understanding of ourselves.
All of that is lovely and truly gifted in its delicious sophistry, but I've also got a silly side. It's up to you to find it.
