Lin's poetry appears to be almost like a Twitter itself; it's a conglomeration random thoughts, emotions, and actions.

Getting a head start on this weekends reading assignment....

Hehe. "...a temporary solution to a temporary problem is a permanent solution". He does make a logical point.

I don't really understand where the hamsters came from but they seem more happy than the humans.

So many birthdays/weddings/family picnics going on. I have yet to spend a weekend at Allegheny. Doing weekend homework early again...

From hamsters back to humans...wow...Tao has some issues with mom

I like Tao's theory about thinking in relation to emotions. I don't know if it's buddhist exactly, but it does work...

It's probably why people like distractions so much. It gets there thoughts off whatever is stressing them.

My laptop died this weekend. I now feel Tao's depression......

If hamsters, a small rodent, seem to take on human characteristics in Tao's poems does this mean that the ants and slugs are different too?

Tao gets deep on pg 65. Its like breaking up the chains of 'Im going to fail this test', you just feel better when you dont think about it

I like how the ugly fish thanks tao as if it had no relation to tao beyond him letting it have its own poem in the book.

The hamsters, ugly fish, tao himself. Its almost like split personality disorder or if each character gets its own side or mood of tao.
