Days Three and Four: Ghostly Verses and Fabulous Fungi

Yesterday, January 3rd, I went ghost hunting with three other brave souls who shall remain anonymous, but whose names rhyme with Blehrekah, Kalissa, and Fray-chel.

So me, Kali, Bleh, and Fray had quite the adventure... which, really, deserves a far lengthier explanation some other time to properly do it justice. But in honor of our ghoulish expedition, I wrote the following poem/chant:

Once, under moon and starry light,
Here by your graves in dark of night
We call to you, phantoms who linger near:
Come and meet us here.

Twice, as the shadows press closer around,
Here, where your bones rest under the ground,
We call to you, spirits who linger near:
Come and meet us here.

Thrice, in this place cold and black as death,
We of life and flesh and breath
Call to you, phantoms who linger near:
Come and meet us here.

On a less creepy note, here is today's creative effort. Rather than being a productive member of society at work today, I looked up some origami techniques online and decided to make these little origami mushrooms.

Here is the first:



And here's the second. I made him with scrap paper, so that's why there's a weird pattern on the bottom part:



You can't see much of the folding on the front:



But it's more evident on the back:



So there you go. Here's to crazy fun times with good friends. Here's to sneaking cute things into existence while on the clock. Here's to good madness!
