Poem of the Day: "Hope is the things with feathers"

As promised, a poem for National Poetry Month. Emily Dickinson is a long-time favorite and I particularly like this poem. At one point in time it was actually the theme of my LJ layout. Enjoy!


Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

Chuck vs The Other Guy

The 100th episode of Bones is coming up in just a bit, but before that, a look back at this week's Chuck non-finale. (The episode was originally intended to be the season finale, but NBC ended up ordering six more episodes. Yay for more Chuck!) The short version? It was awesome.

( And this is the part with the spoilers )

There's still no word yet whether Chuck will be renewed for a fourth season, but I really hope it is. If you're not already, you really should WATCH CHUCK! Supposedly the beginning of the next arc (on April 26) will be a good point for new people to jump in. Doooo it.

PSA: Warning, there are Bones spoilers in the comments.
