Happy Monday, you magnificent suckers. You’re probably reading this while I’m fast asleep (it’s my Sunday morning — BOOYAKASHA) because I have set this post to, uh, post automatically at 8:15 a.m. Actually, I had my garçon’s intern set it to post, but just because he was all, “You never let me do anything fun!” Sheesus. Anyway, I heard this song for the first time in a long time yesterday (HAHAHAH, today, really) and remembered…
I saw Monsters vs. Aliens tonight, because I am a sucker for overpriced kids’ movies in 3-D. And while, like Watchmen, it was gorgeous to behold but had a stupid, not very engaging story (*ducks to avoid nerd pummeling*), there was one snippet of dialogue that immediately lodged into my brain like a verbal splinter. There’s this giant lady monster, see, and she’s being introduced to her new monster home, tended by a wacky military…
These invisible tethers that keep us in each other’s lives, that keep our feet on the ground and our tongues tied — where do they come from? Who put them there? I had a dream once where I was out in a sun-flecked meadow, and suddenly the wind caught me and lifted me into the air like a kite and wouldn’t let me down. I sailed over the meadow, rising higher and higher, bound to…
This time? MY LIFE. (Link is SFW but video isn’t.)
The little green explosions, they’re happening. The other day I looked up and realized that the giant tree behind my apartment suddenly had little lime-colored buds on it. They hadn’t been there the night before. I got a little giddy, I confess. I am in love with spring in a way that I will never be in love with another human. [Project 365]
So Mizzou knocked the Tigers out of the tournament. I was rooting for blue thanks to an opportunistic combination of civic pride and knowledge that a successful U of M organization is good for my workplace’s vitality. One of these days, if I’m in Memphis long enough, I’m betting I’ll start rooting for Memphis with sincere gusto. Maybe next year? [Project 365]
Dearest Neighbors: Kerry Crawford and I are trying our hand at a little ol’ fashioned blog aggregation for The CA over at The Memphis Blog. The blog is still under construction (the design and functionality is going to change within the next few weeks; right now it’s hard to distinguish between my and Kerry’s posts, there’s a jump link even when it’s not needed, the RSS feed is janky, and eventually we’re going to have…
Came home last night to find Bojanklesbot separated from his head. Hmmm. Wonder who did that. [Project 365]
Programming Note: This week I’m challenging myself to shoot only with my fixed 50mm lens, since I rarely ever use it. Let’s see how long that lasts! March is racing past us at a clip I’m uncomfortable with, and 2009 so far has kicked my ass in ways both good and bad. Last year was complete and all-encompassing madness from March until June, and it seems like that’s going to be the case again this…
