Matthew Sweeney - As mariposas

Na neve, as mariposas caminham rigidamente, / elas nem ao menos tentam voar... Matthew Sweeney - As mariposas

As mariposas Ou o poema que começa com um verso de Diane Di Prima Na neve, as mariposas caminham rigidamente,elas nem ao menos tentam voar.Suas pegadas são cobertas à medida que são feitas,enquanto elas seguem umas às outras para casapelas frias colunas dos postes de iluminaçãopara esperar lá a chegada da luz.A cada crepúsculo há menos delas,e todas mais cansadas do que antes,contudo, elas…

A poem by Matthew Sweeney

The Ice Hotel

I’m going back to the ice hotel, this time under a false name as I need to stay there again.

I’ll stand in the entrance hall, marvelling at this year’s design, loving the way it can’t be the same

because ice melts and all here is ice – the walls, the ceiling, the floor, the seats in the lobby, the bed.

Not that I lay on naked ice, but on the skins of reindeers, piled high, as on a sled.

First, though, I went to the bar – no beer, only vodka – and I met my sculptor there,

or I should say, my ice sculptor whose pieces were on display in every room in the ice hotel,

and who told me his name was Thor. We stood in that ice-blue light swapping whisper after whisper,

drinking vodka after vodka till we agreed to go to bed, and neither of us slept that night.

Let me tell you about that bed – ice pillars, two foot high, each with a lit candle on top,

and wedged in the middle of each the four corners of an ice sheet three, maybe four inches thick.

On this the pelts were laid, then the Polar Survival bag that the two of us climbed inside.

Next morning, over Arctic char, he offered me any sculpture but which could I take home?

And I didn’t want to go home but I went. Now I’m going back – back to the latest ice hotel

with its blue ice, its silence, its flickering candlelight, its sculptures I can claim.

As a Bruins fan this is me coping with how shit everything is rn

[giveamadeuschohisownmovie]

If we ever get another live-action Scooby Doo movie, I’ll be a little miffed if Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney aren’t cast as Fred and Daphne, respectively. I’m also lowkey thinking Daniella Pineda as Velma and Joe Keery as Shaggy.

Just for shits and giggles, Matt Smith plays the guy who you think is the masked villain, only for it to be revealed that Tom Holland and Zendaya are the co-main-villains behind everything.

Matthew Lillard cameos as Shaggy’s dad.

Met Gala: Who's Repping Who:

Nicholas Galitzine in Fendi

At least his pants are tailored unlike at the Academy Museum

because the interwebs is giving Donald Glover (in Saint Laurent) the business.

Nevermind that he looks like a Baptist preacher; or apparently a member of The Whispers.

One thing Marc Malkin of Variety is going to do is talk to Nicholas (who spots his RED, WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE costar Uma Thurman on the red carpet).

Uma Thurman, part of Team Tory Burch (with BLUE BEETLE's Bruna Marquezine).

I'm somewhat disappointed Nicholas is wearing fitted clothes. I want those pregnant Henry memes to continue.

apologies to Lea Michele (in Rodarte)

an incredibly well done series of panels showing that moment that would cost Jack everything, when he refuses to take a dive...

As it turns out, having your ribcage in twenty pieces doesn't make getting rid of the playoff beard easy. That's what captains are for.

Sweeney Dishes on Poitras, WJC, and the Baby B's

On Monday, December 18, 2023, Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney met with the media at Warrior Ice Arena, where he covered a few topics related to the Bruins’ future, namely Matthew Poitras and some other AHL Providence Bruins players. The Bruins announced prior that Poitras, a 5′-11″ rookie forward, would be assigned to Team Canada for the upcoming IIHF World Junior Championship in…

📸 ATP Challenger Livestream (via website)

Ryan Seggerman, who graduated from Princeton University (for his undergraduate degree) and University of North Carolina (pursuing Masters of Business Administration), and Patrik Trhac, who graduated from Idaho State University, somehow dubbed the next Catten (1.0, Julian Cash/Henry Patten), shone under the radar down under when they won the Playford Challenger title, but only after they won 7 ITF doubles titles together, with the latest being ITF M25 Zapopan 2 weeks before the Playford Challenger. In Sydney Challenger, they sought their second Challenger final appearance after notably stunning the second seeds Rinky Hijikata/Mac Kiger 6-4, 6-4 in the first round, facing an interesting challenge in Matthew Christopher Romios/Dane Sweeny, who defeated Blake Ellis/Colin Sinclair 6-4, 7-6(7) in the quarterfinals.

Compared to being competitive, this match appeared to be an almost one-way traffic with succinct point construction in between. Some first strike forehands from R. Seggerman/P. Trhac caught Romios off-guard, especially from the net, which caused the early break to 1-0 before they quickly consolidated to 2-0. The case was almost the same in the third game where their forehand down-the-line winner opened the path before breaking 2 points later, consolidating their lead to 4-0 right after.

Romios/D. Sweeny then avoided the demolition on their serve to hold their service game 4-1, while R. Seggerman/P. Trhac had not looked back and kept dominating the flow from the baseline. They then had the opportunity to serve for the first set, where their working serve+1, including a swift volley +1 to secure the first set 6-2, affirming their dominance through their clear point construction as the set went by.
