Sometimes life is exhausting. Even when it is good, it is exhausting.

Some new additions: a super-duper mega-great zoom lens for my camera. I’m thinking of taking photography classes. You know, in my spare time.

Mega-great, not mega-zoom.

But I wasn't very close!

Noooo, you shouldn't get too close when photographing toothsome beasties in the wild! The ferocious cat, driven half-mad with hunger and an unnatural craving for plastic straws, lies poised in a deceptively submissive posture, ready to strike a vicious upcurving blow with its raptor-like talons; but the feral canine is older and wise, and drawing on generations of tribal lore embedded deep in its DNA, stands its ground with alert insouciance, confident that its reflexes will respond when called upon to evade and counterparry, and eventually triumph until, bloodied but unbowed, it might carry the limp feline carcass as a gift to the great king and queen basenji.... No, better not get too close!

you know, now that I have a very innocent, very plain little domestic barn kitten, yours looks positively dangerous in comparison. my kitten is milktoast and yours is that chick from alias when she wears leather and cuts people's fingers off to get them to talk.

This was in the mail: Life’s Too Short To Clean Your Own House. A lovely brochure, featuring a lovely couple, with two lovely blond children, sitting in a lovely family room. The dad is reading a book with one of the daughters. The mom is laughing over a laptop with the other daughter. A pretty picture. Short answer portion of the quiz: 1. Why did the advertising folks choose to put two girls in the picture instead of a girl and a boy? 2. Why did they choose to have the mom pose with the laptop? 3. Who cleans the housecleaners’ houses? Bonus question: are the perky college students pictured on the inside of the brochure real housecleaners or just models?

I have to confess something. I enjoy reading Anne Lamott. Okay, okay, I know that makes me more touchy-feely than I usually admit. She is very lovey. She talks about mystical things. She freely admits to praying (although she uses the F-word frequently in her books about “faith”. I like this in a person.) She talks about breathing. She is very real, and I admire this. She talks about her parents and her son with a mix of love and frustration and grumpiness. She admits, in public, in her writing, to sometimes being angry, sometimes disliking her loved ones, to having to work very hard to forgive them. I like to think I’m like her in a lot of ways, but I don’t share this ability. I can’t easily look at someone I love, look them in the eyes, and say “I’m really angry with you.” “I am mad.” “That was a bad thing you did. To me.” Instead, I’m the sort that says, “Oh, gosh, I’m sure you didn’t mean to run over my dog. It’s okay. I was meaning to get rid of that old thing soo...

Censorship update : According to Em's civics assignment: " Inappropriate news topics will not be accepted. If you are unsure of what is considered appropriate, please consult your teacher or your parents." (The assignment sheet printed that sentence in bold type.) Her entire summary: Source : Washingtonpost.com Headline : House Defeats Gay Marriage Amendment Main Idea : Debating whether or not gay marriages should be banned Summary : People in the House of Representatives debate about banning gay marriage, and it turns out they won't be. :) (Penciled smiley.) Connection : This connects to civics because it has to do with making laws and debating which are big parts of the government. Now, besides the fact that this is a danged sketchy summary and I'd like to throttle her for that, the only opinion she offers is the little smiley. She is brief and matter-of-fact. Practically boring! If anything, the article that she summarized is even ...
