Ayup. well, we've only had his name for 2, 4 weeks.

Now it's a different group talking about health plans.

I just got flirted at by a Iranian woman. Wow! Professional quality flirting. My nose hairs are still curled. She wasn't particularly attractive, but something the way she... wow.

I don't know about Catholic, but their glowing brown eyes, teasing accents and gracefully writhing figures... It's a secret art that they teach each other in some mountain hideaway...

Why "five, six, seven, eight"? Why not "one, two three, four"?

I wish I could find that here.
All I can find are egg nog ice cream sandwiches.

I did just get allspice to use on egg nog, along with cinnamon and nutmeg.
It works.

It's supposed to be the older spelling.
Do you think it's incorrect?

I think it refers to the island as location also.

I am quoting Charles Fort today.
I believe nothing. I have shut myself away from the rocks and wisdoms of ages, and from the so-called great teachers of all time, and perhaps because of that isolation I am given to bizarre hospitalities. I shut the front door upon Christ and Einstein, and at the back door hold out a welcoming hand to little frogs and periwinkles. I believe nothing of my own that I have ever written. I cannot accept that the products of minds are subject-matter for beliefs. But I accept, with reservations that give me freedom to ridicule the statement at any other time, that showers of an edible substance that has not been traced to an origin upon this earth, have fallen from the sky, in Asia Minor.

Has anybody (good) done some sort of an M.C. Escher Rap?

Rap and Rag--sort of bookend the 20th century.

thought for the day

Post by gyre » Sun Jan 31, 2010 7:05 am

It is not necessary that you leave the house.
Remain at your table and listen.
Do not even listen, only wait.
Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone.
The world will present itself to you for its unmasking, it can do no other, in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet.

Franz Kafka
