no one respects the seasons anymore
Nov. 17th, 2013 01:28 pmOur neighbors across the street have already set up their Christmas lights.
It's been raining all day, overcast, gloomy. I doubt many trick-or-treaters will show up tonight. A shame, really, as we have three bags of candy at the ready.
I can only hope it's raining over in Fargo, where a woman plans to hand out "fat letters" to those kids she judges as being too large to enjoy Halloween. Better yet, it could rain over her house only, so that the kids can still enjoy the evening elsewhere.

Oct. 31st, 2013 11:18 amA couple of weeks ago, while waiting for a bus, I noticed two people headed toward the station. They both had red & white striped canes. They were holding hands. Halfway down the sidewalk, one let go & turned around while the other continued on.
I literally saw the blind leading the blind.
I don't know what to do with this image.

I was unaware that the chain had infiltrated the northern states.

Jul. 15th, 2013 06:00 pmYesterday, while waiting for the bus, a sparrow lighted on my shoulder. Never had such a thing happened to me.
There's a jackhammer going on outside my window. I'd just turned on the news, but that was right out with this development.
I have been refraining from using earphones, but I got mine out (if ever there were a situation that called for them, this would be one). Then I had to choose music that would not be too disrupted by the noise. I'm listening to Beastie Boys' Licensed to Ill.
Pretty good choice, actually.

Mar. 24th, 2011 12:20 pmI haven't been around for a little bit. I've been reconnecting with Poetry Free-For-All & other corners of the Net. Please let me know if I've missed anything in the last week.
Hope you're doing well!

Dec. 18th, 2010 10:47 amThe only thing obvious is the author's pinhead comments. Whatever the author's view, wish he'd use a little common sense and quit being so mean. Unnecessary in getting a point across.
tiny-ish update
Nov. 20th, 2010 11:19 amThis place is a ghost town on the weekends, but I thought I'd make a small post anyway.
My dad got more MST3K through Netflix, so we'll be taking in Final Justice later today. I'm pretty sure I've not seen that one.
Also, I'm fairly sure I caused myself hypothermia yesterday, so despite the sunshine I think I will be staying in today. (I'm fighting the sniffles besides.)
I made it my goal to finish gleaning email addresses of all of the editors, managing editors & feature editors to which to send the press release I mentioned earlier by the end of the weekend. As far as I can tell, I'm about halfway there. The task is more tedious than I would have imagined. Still, I see the light at the end of the tunnel.
The side effect of the above task is that I'm discovering that Michigan has some interesting & odd names for towns. I like Fruitport. Descriptive & to-the-point.

I don't even know a Jesse.
Aug. 31st, 2010 02:59 pmSo the dishwasher is running, sloshing around the various dishware slotted inside. The rhythm of the water has almost a music to it. As I stood slicing pre-made Toll House cookie dough onto a cookie sheet, I imagined that words could be matched to the cadence of the machinations.
At first, the lyrics sounded like "Jesse with the leapfrog". So I danced to that for a while, barefoot in a tiny kitchen, licking dough from the yellow plastic casing.
Then the lyrics changed to "Jesse with an eight-ball". I've never known anyone to have an eight-ball besides those that portend vague omens. Still, the switch seemed a bit sinister. I stopped jigging.
Then, "Jesse with the napalm". Although it was & is not morning.
Then, "Jesse with the inkblot". Which, while it may be silly, was a bit less concerning than the other options.
Finally, I decided it had to be Jesse with the spondee.
The dishy orator must have some form of attention deficit, because now it's all "We want jerky".

One of Olbermann's guests . . .
Aug. 20th, 2010 12:22 pm. . . made a hilarious verbal misstep.
Instead of 'Sarah Palin', her tongue made an alveolar lateral & produced . . . Sailor Palin!
I think she'd fit right in! Give her some pigtails & a 5" skirt. She can use her old flute as a baton. She knows how to wink aggressively (no lessons needed there), & she may already own a tiara.
Also, if you thought Serena made some ditzy comments . . . .

lameautarch and I are truly a geek couple.This has been proven due to the fact that normal folks do not bring up ALL YOUR BASE as pillowtalk.
