Set to self-destruct.

The saddest girl
In the whole world
Sits in thirty day
Thinks she owns it.
Models herself a pro
With every word just so
Crack answers for everything
And a lie to keep you guessing
Is she real or just made-up.

She says she's lost her life
And can't tell where to find it.
So she sold her soul for the high
Of the sweet synthetic lullaby.
Where's the bottom when you need it?

The saddest girl
In the whole world
Just told the doctor she's fine
The problem isn't mine
"It's them." and they've ruined me
And all that I could ever be.
So now she has a new disguise
and half-way covers her eyes
with a crystal crooked crown
Slipping just missing her frown.

She says she's lost her life
And can't tell where to find it.
So she sold her soul for the high
Of the sweet synthetic lullaby.
Where's the bottom when you need it?

She used to be a little girl
The sweetest you've ever seen.
Now she's just a tracing
Of a near broke beauty queen.

"Sense of humor" is trying to imagine an overweight pushing fifty woman dancing in stilettos for someone she thinks is Frank Iero.

"BlogBelieve is for letting your imagination, your fantasies, your silly side, out to play. "

And for giving out ISPs, stalking, and not allowing poetry and quotes unless they are done by someone yu personally like.

What happened when the maligned "Porchies" wanted to let their silly side come out to play with their games and quotes?

Welcome back Kapunua. It's good to read you. Glad your summer is going well, you deserve it.

12:11, I thankee-sai but I am not here to stay. I just missed Mayo and S(S)S and I wanted to tell them Aloha, happy summer, hey I saw this great movie, etc. :)

It is rather a shame about the way things turned out but heigh ho! I miss the quoting games and poetry too.

Ah, here's something I just read that I wanted to show to Mayo. Remember I used to always post you some science news, Mayo? Well I think you're going to like this one.

Swearing lessens your pain when you hurt yourself. Remember your swearing post from long ago? That's why I figured you'd get a kick out of this.

That muttered curse word that reflexively comes out when you stub your toe could actually make it easier to bear the throbbing pain, a new study suggests.

Swearing is a common response to pain, but no previous research has connected the uttering of an expletive to the actual physical experience of pain.

"Swearing has been around for centuries and is an almost universal human linguistic phenomenon," said Richard Stephens of Keele University in England and one of the authors of the new study. "It taps into emotional brain centers and appears to arise in the right brain, whereas most language production occurs in the left cerebral hemisphere of the brain."


Aren't brains amazing!

The way Kap throws herself at her "Friend" is shameful and far UGLIER than anything OPJ has ever said to anyone. A little blog dancing is harmless fun compared to how you act in real life.

Anonymous said...

And as you can see, there is still quoting going on here and people are still having fun, so I wouldn't call it a shame how "things turned out".

Just because you and your friends didn't know when to stop doesn't mean that the people here don't know when to stop.

The difference is that the people here now don't NEED guidelines. They can guide themselves. Which is something you and your "friends" could never do.

You really think that is what she is doing?

Oh, I beg to differ...

Anonymous said...

But when OPJ talks to her FRIEND, SS, about walking on him in stilletos, that is somehow bad?

Maybe it is bad because OPJ really believes that SS is Frank Iero and Frank Iero has a wife.

Ick.

You don't know what is going on in Mya's head. You ASSume you do.

She was posting them because she loved the movie. No other motive.You can "beg to differ" all you want.

And because if OPJ really did dance in stilettoes she would leave holes in the floor. That's not a fat joke, it's the truth.

Excuse me, but have you seen Jamia? She is fatter than OPJ will ever be and OPJ has a mature beauty. I say, let her flirt with SS all she wants and dance for him in stilettos. Bet you he doesn't mind.

Mya told us why she was posting the quotes. She likes Mel Brooks and she enjoys reliving memorable movie moments.

And who says that the poor man that Kap chases around isn't taken? You don't know... do you? I thought not.

You judge Kap and OPJ by two different standards. You think it's wrong for OPJ to flirt with someone who MIGHT have a girlfriend or be married, but you think it's perfectly alright for Kap to chase after this BOY and put her hands all over him, when for all you know could have a girlfriend too.

At least OPJ isn't touching SS and you don't have to look at pictures of her leaning all over him like a cheap whore.

this was a highlight of my day at Dreamworld

the other was going on the Tower of Terror at where you sit in the car and go up like this at 160 km/h or nearly 100 miles/h (which it gets to in 3.4 secs) until it stops, then it hurtles backwards to stop. The whole ride is over quickly but OH MY GOD!!!!! you pull 4.5G and are actually weightless for just over 6 secs, totally awesome

lewishasfallensloppydead said...

See, I started to back read. But then I also started to get disgusted, so I fucking stopped.

If three years old can manage to play together, even when they don't like each other, I think a bunch of grown women, Anon's and Lovely's can attempt it too. There simply isn't a time out corner big enough for ALL of US to think about what we have done wrong (and get the fuck over ourselves).

Both 'sides,' this shit is getting old. Didn't anyone ever teach any of you, "If you can't say something nice..." Just stop guys. There is no point in being nasty back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. There is nothing to win, but pleanty to LOSE. And ya know, some people say they care, so much, but the truth is -if everyone DID care as much as they have said, people wouldn't have turned against each other in the first place. There has always been not so friendly shit going on here. Always. But it reached it's vile peak, thankfully. Now the ugly is just redundant. (it's not even breaking my heart anymore, it's just irritating. And to be blunt, it's embarrassing. The name calling? Surface insults? We can't still be like this can we? We do all eventually have to progress right?? Please?) And all of this fighting STILL has consequences. And I doubt EITHER side of this bullshit will like what could come.

I don't even know how to finish that. I don't understand why people just can't get along, despite how much they offend and hate each other.

Click on the "rides" on the side and you can see them all

I didn't get to the Cyclone roller coaster though, we ran out of time. I have been on it before though.

The Giant Drop, which takes you 36 storeys up and drops you, was too scary looking, as is the Claw and the Wipeout is too insane to contemplate!

I did do the Mick Doohan Motorcoaster with babygirl, which is like a roller coaster where you sit on motorbikes, and the Runaway Raptor which is one you sit in and runs under the track with hubby, bg, and my dad.

what was their show like?

ergoproxy said...

oh the show was wonderful
they began with coming on, wearing these big trousers that come up over their bust, and said hello etc, then they went into a sketch with Dawn having a medical check up with jennifer,

ok, head?
yes
arms?
yes
legs?
yes
and then it just got sillier

they also did the original sketch of Ab Fab, and there was a running gag of the tow of them arguing about who's show was better, Vicar of Dibley of Ab Fab
it was a combination of prerecorded sketches, Jen as Madonna, and a brilliant send up of Momma Mia, with Jen as meryl Streep ad Dawn and Joanna Lumley as her friends
like the ad for it, showing clips then a scrren with "They Sing!!" and "Amazing" and "They sing -again!!" popping up in between
Dawn went out into the crowd with a chocolate probe ad a bucket stealing peoples snacks, you cound see the video from teh "probe" on a screen on stage, and holding it to a guys ear and it showed tumbleweed, and she said "oooooh you're so good looking but you're just thick aren't you?" and such.
Dawn French is hilarious, she is a nut, pulls faces and talks in silly voices, while Jen plays the more straight partner, but her stuff is more subtle and she is just as funny
they ended with a routine to "thank you for the music" with them singing ad dawn forgetting the words and just making the noises of the song.
What was great too was actually seeing them for real, like thinking, "wow that is actually them, actually standing there"

Can't get over this obsession you have with OPJ can you. It's really not healthy you know.

ergoproxy said...

"a combination of pre-recorded sketches and live stuff (the pre-recorded gave them time to change)"

oh and they began with a film of them arriving in a car driven by GP, the guinea pig in On the Riverbank

they also did a ballet of sorts as two old ladies on those motorised scooters,

and did a routine as the women who run prickly Pear Farm

and at the end the encore was the two dirty old fat men they do and they were "relieving themselves" against a wall, backs to the audience, then turned and both had these penises hanging out, oh it was so funny, Jens man had to help Dawns guy replace himself as he was too fat to reach then they started to say stuff like "I'm having a brokeback moment"

trouser suits

TJ it was so great to go, we both thoroughly enjoyed it
and I have the t-shirt to prove it!!

you should read dawn french's autobiography, called Dear Fatty (fatty is her nickname for Jen since college) she writes it as a series of letters to people, her family, friends, david cassidy, the monkees, madonna, most are so very funny , but the one to her dad after he suicided was so sad. She writes it like she speaks so you can hear her saying it as you read, things like to her neice "you may be concerned you are destined to ahve a body like mine, but I see you already have what they call a neck, where there is a thinner but between your head and chest, I believe it's where you wear necklaces" then goes on to how great it is to have big boobs
It tells her life story in such an enjoyable way, I didn't get to finish it though as it was my mums copy

mayo,

today was an outdoor day. i did my laundry (hanging clothes out on the line, you see), pulled some weeds for my folks, went down to the mailbox to get the mail, and washed out the birdbath. it was bright, and hot, and i enjoyed myself very much.

there's something about the still air in the summertime -- for most of my adult life i've hated it, but when i was a kid i thought it made the world smell like ripening hay and i loved it. today was that kind of day, spent mostly barefoot in the grass and squinting in the sun.

and there just isn't anything more authentically summertime than being barefoot in grass made wet by a garden hose (somehow refilling the birdbath was messier than i estimated. *grin*)


a very satisfying day, mayo -- and there was a moment today, walking back up the long drive, when i had the most powerful wish to be able to truly share the afternoon, its heat and its beauty, with you, to somehow convey it to you so perfectly, you would be able to hear the cicadas wherever you might be.

there was a buzzard flying directly overhead, i only looked up because i saw its shadow circling me on the ground. the pleasure to see such a graceful bird, the atavistic fear that it would swoop at any moment (i'm not dead yet!), the delight at the mini-adventure...i'd package it up and wrap it in string and send it to you direct, if i could.



well, maybe if you have a yard, you could go walk barefoot in it some bright noon, and maybe you'd catch a glimpse of my summer, too. just remember to turn on the sprinklers first!

good night, mayo. sweet dreams, and summer happinesses.

On the Beach at Night


On the beach at night,
Stands a child with her father,
Watching the east, the autumn sky.

Up through the darkness,
While ravening clouds, the burial clouds, in black masses spreading,
Lower sullen and fast athwart and down the sky,
Amid a transparent clear belt of ether yet left in the east,
Ascends large and calm the lord-star Jupiter,
And nigh at hand, only a very little above,
Swim the delicate sisters the Pleiades.

From the beach the child holding the hand of her father,
Those burial-clouds that lower victorious soon to devour all,
Watching, silently weeps.

Weep not, child,
Weep not, my darling,
With these kisses let me remove your tears,
The ravening clouds shall not long be victorious,
They shall not long possess the sky, they devour the stars only in apparition,
Jupiter shall emerge, be patient, watch again another night, the Pleiades shall emerge,
They are immortal, all those stars both silvery and golden shall shine out again,
The great stars and the little ones shall shine out again, they endure,
The vast immortal suns and the long-enduring pensive moons shall again shine.

Then dearest child mournest thou only for Jupiter?
Considerest thou alone the burial of the stars?

Something there is,
(With my lips soothing thee, adding I whisper,
I give thee the first suggestion, the problem and indirection,)
Something there is more immortal even than the stars,
(Many the burials, many the days and nights, passing away,)
Something that shall endure longer even than lustrous Jupiter
Longer than sun or any revolving satellite,
Or the radiant sisters the Pleiades.

Mayo

I just got back from a late night drive. Well I suppose technically it was an early morning drive. The windows were all down and the sunroof was open. And the music blared. As I drove through the darkness I thought of so many things I wanted to tell you. By the time I got home I realized it didn’t matter.

Night Mayo

well here I am in my first proper goodnight for a week, I am tired, lol I had such a busy week and now my body is saying - sleeeeeeeeep, but Torchwood's new episode, Children of Earth is on, it premiered last week and I thought I'd missed it (my parents don't have paytv, but it's repeated!! So I told a few stories from my trip earlier, the F&S show was great, and the roller coasters and patting the tiger, and getting a hug from Patrick were fantastic too. I'll tell some more tomorrow, we did so much. Hope you had a great day and have an awesome Tuesday
much love EP xx

SS
hey mate!!! how are you?? haven't talked for yonks!! Well I am happy to be home, and back to relative "normal" for me, I had a great trip, you can look back for some bits of it if you'd like, more to tell tomorrow. Hope you have had a great week last week and that this one is looking like it's going to be a good one too, take care and keep smiling

Greetings and salutations Mayo, SS, Ergo, Elena, MissT, TJ, J and L, Amy, Mya, Sweetcheeks, Ahhh eeeee, everyone!!!!

How are you all today? Well and good, I hope!

I found the most wonderful video to share with all you "rockers".

It's an early TV appearance of AC/DC covering a blues classic!!!

~Baby Please Don't Go (Down to New Orleans)~

Isn't that GREAT???!!! Not as great as MUDDY WATERS (of course); but, great none the less!

Mya: You can shake, shake, shake your booty to that one!!!

Amy: So can you, I'm sure! How's your friend doing?

Ergo: Welcome home (again)! Your pictures are fantastic!!! I particularly love the pictures of you and the big cat and you with Spongebob and Patrick! I'm glad to hear you and your daughter had such a wonderful holiday!

J, L and Elena: *hugs*

MissT: How did it go today?

I think that's all ~ for now. Have a great day, everyone!

It seems like it was her because she's pointing it out like it's a good thing to call her a cheap whore.

Unless it was one of her friends and she was just agreeing.


This blog is so stupid sometimes. But it's easy to follow if you're not "one of the Family".

Thank God I was never "one of them". I think this whole blog has always been psycho.

Anonymous said...

Besides, I hate slut shaming. I do think it's tasteless for OPJ to keep trying to sex SS but I don't think she's a "whore" for it. As far as Kap goes, if that guy is her friend they are obviously comfortable with each other to take a picture together.

I saw her pictures and I didn't even see anything "whore like" going on.

Pulled from my goodnight - go back three, no names, the three I mean so much you'll see. Not that I need to explain this to anyone but this was about the goodnight. The three was words leaving out Mayo and Elena (the names) The three words I mean so much to Mayo are there. Seriously some of you are really grasping at straws trying to find anything you can connect to K

Original Punk J said...

Getting ready to go to the midnight showing of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", very cool. We've seen each movie at the midnight premiere except for the first one, so it's a sort of tradition. L's more the Potter fan than I am, but it's fun to go when there's a really hyped-up crowd.

Mya, are you going to tonight's showing, or some other time?

Hey Elena, I hope you're doing ok. I'm interested in seeing a picture of your new spinning wheel; putting it in the store window sounds like a great idea. Maybe you could sprinkle it with a little glitter, just for the Hell of it. ;D We tried to call tonight, but no answer, so we'll try tomorrow.

Wendy, if you check in, I owe you an email, which probably won't get written tonight, but soon! I promise!

Amy, I only have one word: BINARY? O_o

Hey Ergo, have you gotten back into the "home routine" yet? I still stand in awe of your Tower of Terror experience. "We're not worthy!"

BC, if you're around, how's the job front coming? I saw your post on Twitter about a waitressing job?

Hey TJ! Sorry I missed you last night, I'll try to be here tomorrow night though. We can semi-geek about HP if you want. :)

Hi Mayo, how's every little thing?

SS--well, you know. And so do I. :)

Anons: Elena got it right. Please just leave us alone.

Goodnight to the faithful.

ergoproxy said...

hello again!

back from titoring, hope the movie is great J.

hi anyone else about

Amyranth said...

BINARY!

It apparently says something when it's all laid out. I'm going to find out what.

ergoproxy said...

Hi Amy
that is one seriously cool scarf! And it was hand knitted? Wow!

toujours said...

oh man, that scarf is impressive -- geeky and cool all at once!

hi there guys. :)

Amyranth said...

Hey Ergo!

I know, eh? I don't know if she made up the pattern herself, but I couldn't believe it when I saw it. It was funny because she was all excited that I was knitting too, until I showed her the difference between her knitting and my "knitting". I don't think I could accomplish that on my KKB at all.

But then again, I'm just happy to be making blankets, fuck knows it's cold enough for them now anyway!

Amyranth said...

Hey Teej!

You know, now that you're getting into quilting, you could sew a binary blanket.

Or sew a black blanket, and write the binary on with green paint.

toujours said...

ooh, interesting idea, amyranth! not that i'd have time to plan one out, but how cool would that be?

hmmmm, definitely mentioning that to my uber-quilter boss. :)

ergoproxy said...

I have no knitting patience at all unfortunately
I still have a jumper a friend knitted me in high school

Hi TJ!!!
how are you?

Amyranth said...

She'd sell it too. No lie. You'd be surprised how many people would come out of the woodwork, drooling over a binary quilt.

Oh! That reminds me...

*pulls a small ringbox out of her pocket and tucks it behind a picture frame on the mantelpiece*

Amyranth said...

I always used to think a jumper was a skirt, or one of those pull over dresses with the buttons on the shoulder straps.

I dunno, I'm not exactly the height of fashion to begin with.

ergoproxy said...

HOLD ON!!!!!!!

what did you just tuck behind that frame?

toujours said...

hi ergo, i'm good! um, not to brag, but i had some starbucks ice cream again tonight. coffee with espresso swirls.

i'm sorry. :)


amyranth, i have to be careful though -- i'm already the default it gal for the shop, if i start talking about binary quilt i might get pigeonholed! lol

*glances from the portrait on the mantel to amyranth, and back again, supiciously*

ergoproxy said...

I'd call what you described a pinafore

a jumper is a knitted wool ...pullover?
what do you call them?

Amyranth said...

O_O

Not what you think it is my dear!

Someone asked for a jade and emerald ring, made of titanium, and I just finished working on it today, so it's waiting for them behind the picture frame.

God, I haven't lucked out YET, Ergo. But thanks for the heart attack. ;D

toujours said...

or "sweater", ergo.

*waits for amyranth to spill the beans*

toujours said...

aawww, that's nice, amyranth! i take back all my suspicions. :)

Amyranth said...

A sweater? Mister hates those, his mom gets him one every year.

Also, just to clarify, if I was engaged you'd hear the screams. Clearly.

From where ever you were.

Yes, I'm getting impatient.

ergoproxy said...

damn!!


oh I saw the ring conversation, I was reading it on my phone on the way home with indian takeaway after our day at Dreamworld
much more comfortable than an actual rock on a ring

ergoproxy said...

oh yep - sweater

we call them jumpers, I like some, depends on the wool and the style, I have a charcoal grey one on now, really soft, quite thin and it comes halfway down my thighs
it's warm without being too hot (it's not very cold here today)

Amyranth said...

Ergo, we got word today that Alberta is actually in the middle of some of the coldest temps in 10 years. We've been below average temps for the last seven months.

ergoproxy said...

wow!
you poor things, you must be hating the lack of summer
it's 22C outside, 19C in the house, but there is a really cold wind, so in the sun it's lovely but in the wind it's a loot cooler
nothing compared to you guys though!
I must sound pretty wussy

Amyranth said...

22c right now would be heaven. We didn't even hit 13c today. We're supposed to go up to 28c on Saturday, which would be damn nice for a change, that's more like summer!

Anyway, I'm gonna go. Shower and bed for me! Goodnight Ergo and Teej!

Goodnight Mayo and SS!

I have fallen in love with a song and wanted to share this one with ~ spread the ASHBA love all around ~ you all.

~DJ Ashba WONDER~

For singing along purposes:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wonder
by: DJ Ashba

Everything that I said,
always seemed to come out wrong,
Everything that we had,
I took for granted all along,
Now I cant change it,
even though I wish I could,
And I cant believe it got this far,
cause everyday,

I wonder how you are
I wonder how you've been,
And if you're doin fine,
all the time

I know I didn't call you,
even though I said I would,
I know I didn't tell you,
quite as often as I should,
I know I didn't write you
a lie to say all is good
I cant believe it got this far,
cause everyday

I wonder how you are
wonder how you've been,
And if you're doin fine,
all the time
wonder how you are
wonder how you've been,
And if you're doin fine,
all the time

the more I try,
the more I always seem to make things worse,
Tired of fighting,
cause being with me must of,
Must of been so hard on you,
So hard,
So bad I cant say,

I know I never showed you,
I guess I just thought you knew,
I know I never held you,
even though you'd cry and beg me to, Learned a life lesson,
on love and what not to do
I cant believe it got this far
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elena: *more hugs*

Well, I have now been challenged to yet another game of Dino~Opoly.

Shucks, I never win that one! I must prepare myself for defeat.....

good night amyranth, and good night wendy. :)

i was momentarily lured away by zelda papercraft.

blog is now up and running

hiya wendy

toujours said...

ooh! gonna go look!

toujours said...

that's cool, ergo. fun pics. :)

ergoproxy said...

thanks for looking TJ, and the full grown tigers are MASSIVE!!!
they can stand up on their own hind legs, so they said only about 20kg of their weight is on the trainer
There was a big white tiger out too, but he was sleeping in the sun and disinclined to do anything, he just gave them a "you want me to what? I'm comfy." look.

They have two white tigers there, and one of the ones we saw was a mix of white (dad) and orange (mum), it's a rare colouring as they of course rarely would mate in the wild

toujours said...

truly amazing creatures, ergo -- they remind me of the cougars at the zoo my ex used to docent at, though the cougars aren't quite as hefty. still, you never appreciate their power until you see them up close.

they are beautiful, too, even though i suspect part of their beauty comes from the fact that they are so powerful and most likely see us as just an interesting snack. :)

ergoproxy said...

oh yes, they are very fluid too, but the power you see as they jump or run, plus the size of their paws!
I'd rather not run into one in the wild
they have 2 cougars too, I saw them being walked a few years ago

they do a heap of conservation work there, behind what you see is a big tiger center which raises money, does research, swaps with other zoos, to try and help stop the loss in the wild

toujours said...

that's what's cool about places like that, you think it's just entertainment, but it's so much more. i think a lot of zoos across the world have that focus now, as well, being more educational, and so on. it makes me glad.

but for now i should say good night! you made me a little envous with all your talk of wearing sweaters, i'm enjoying the summer heat but i am by nature a winter witch. :)

talk to you again tomorrow, ergo -- sweet dreams!

j., i hope you and l. enjoyed the movie! i think i'm going to go see it while it's showing here, so no spoilers please! *hee*

talk to you tomorrow, and am looking forward to hearing your impressions of the film. :)

good night all!

I am obviously not allowed to play a silly, stupid game with you. So here then is what I said and what I still want to say – I MISS YOU. Yes, those are the three – the three words I mean so much.

Anons who tried to twist my words to Mayo… I hope this is clear enough for you.

Sorry Mayo it has been a bad day and I just can’t deal with this shit.

Take care

Elena

toujours said...

mayo,

the whole papercraft scene is a bit of a surprise to me, but i have to say i find it incredibly appealing. there's just something about making things with paper...

i used to do a bit of origami, back when i was a housewife. i liked making objects that were functional, boxes and containers. for years i kept my scrap-paper bookmarks (used in my many research projects -- hardly a book in the house was free of at least one of those little tabs) in a folded packet, originally a pattern from germany, used to keep seeds. i can still fold that in my sleep, practically.

and little books, pamphlets, you name it. there's a method for making a little 8-page booklet from a single sheet of paper, utilizing only folds and a single short incision. used that to make a bunch of tree ornaments as christmas gifts one year, little medieval books illustrating the king wenceslas carol.

and of course furoshikis -- although of cloth, i fold and use them almost without thinking...

so finding out i can download and print out a pattern for a treasure chest from legend of zelda: twilight princess?

*grin*



for me it all comes down to making things. i am a maker, i think. what jazzed me about being in the s.c.a. was having an environment wherein i was encouraged to make the artifacts i researched, and back in storage in seattle i have sketchbooks and binders filled with plans and diagrams for boxes (practical and not-so-practical) and kits and dolls and bags...

even writing stories is making something using words.

it's always about the desire to create, at its most basic level, to bring something into existence...it's a type of motherhood, in a way, one more aligned with athena than demeter, but still at its heart the urge to give life to something that can exist on its own, after i am gone.

or maybe it's just the sheer pleasure of taking a piece of paper and turning it into something you can hold in your hand.

*grin*


good night mayo, and have a good day tomorrow, yes?

So This Is Nebraska

The gravel road rides with a slow gallop
over the fields, the telephone lines
streaming behind, its billow of dust
full of the sparks of redwing blackbirds.


On either side, those dear old ladies,
the loosening barns, their little windows
dulled by cataracts of hay and cobwebs
hide broken tractors under their skirts.


So this is Nebraska. A Sunday
afternoon; July. Driving along
with your hand out squeezing the air,
a meadowlark waiting on every post.


Behind a shelterbelt of cedars,
top-deep in hollyhocks, pollen and bees,
a pickup kicks its fenders off
and settles back to read the clouds.


You feel like that; you feel like letting
your tires go flat, like letting the mice
build a nest in your muffler, like being
no more than a truck in the weeds,


clucking with chickens or sticky with honey
or holding a skinny old man in your lap
while he watches the road, waiting
for someone to wave to. You feel like


waving. You feel like stopping the car
and dancing around on the road. You wave
instead and leave your hand out gliding
larklike over the wheat, over the houses.

Hi guys, how are you all?

Welcome back Ergo. I hope you had a wonderful time.

Thanks to everyone who wished me good luck at the hospital.

I'm good. I got through all the prodding and poking of the pre op. I had to have my blood taken and my veins decided to play hide and seek. The nurse couldn't get a vein she tried tapping one arm, decided the other looked better and stuck me. No luck, she hit nothing. She decided she couldn't see a vien and sent me downstairs to the profesional blood takers. They didn't have much better luck. It took three people in all to try to get a little blood. They managed it but my arms look like pin cushions.

I have the fun of the op next thurs when I am bound to be
prodded again. Oh well, after what some of you have suffered lately, this is nothing at all.

We are off to the coast this weekend as it is the anniversary of dad's death on the 18th. We always go to the harbour where we sprinkled some of his ashes. We are gonna be away for the whole weekend, have a nice break. I shall miss you guys while I'm gone.

We need a break as the neighbour has been playing up again. He decided it was a good idea to do some gradening at 2:30am this morning. Great eh? Our neighbours on the other side were disturbed cos in this warm weather they like their wiondows open. My nieghbour told me she got three hours sleep last night, I said welcome to my world. Anyway, they are opening an official complaint with the council too. With more of us complaining, I hope something gets done. The council are coming out to visit us to put a plan into action. We shall see.

Anyways, I am shattered and off to bed now for as long as the peace lasts.

Nighty night xxxx
