I had a list yesterday and I have completely forgotten what was on it. I'm sure there were some amazing things running through my brain, but alas I let them slip away.

we needed a break from wednesdays didn't we.



~books I've read recently~
recently as in the last couple of days. WEE!
>I was told there'd be cake - Sloane Crosley
>Still life with chickens - Catherine Goldhammer
>Grimms' Fairy Tales - Grimm Brothers
deeply disturbing tales let me tell you. I read of more violence in those tales than I've watched on TV in a month of Sundays. Dismemberment, murder, cannibalism, disfigurement, death, destruction, mayhem... it's all in there.


~recent additions to my song collection~
>One of those days - Joshua Radin
>Sweet about me - Gabriella Cilmi
>Angels on the moon - Thriving Ivory

~recent web comic discovery~
>Secret Vespers
>latest bunny favorite Whailing
>Minus

A co-worker just brought in her nieces collection of Littlest Pet Shop pets. they are so completely adorable that I wish I were 9 and could collect them without feeling as though I had a dirty secret. For some reason I'm attracted to cute, tiny (inanimate) things. like these espresso cups. I've started a collection of espresso cups. I can get away with that without looking like a freak. heh.


~books I need to finish reading~
>Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach
>Children of Hurin by Tolkien
>Overcoat by Nikolai Gogol

I finally finished Siddhartha... it's a beautifully written bit of literature, very descriptive and sometimes poetic in nature. Reading this book has made me think about my own life -- how much time I waste everyday, not noticing the millions of amazing things around me. How I pay no mind to other people and their stories. How I've hardened my persona against feelings of warmth and goodwill towards humanity. Honestly it made me regret that I am not a better person, a more devoted person, a kinder person. Eh, I think I shall dedicate this new year, 2009, though it is not a resolution -- just a dedication to make myself friendlier, more open, more accepting, and less like the Grinch that I am.

eeehehee

The Grinch: The nerve of those Whos. Inviting me down there - and on such short notice. Even if I wanted to go my schedule wouldn't allow it. Four o'clock, wallow in self pity; 4:30, stare into the abyss; 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one. 5:30, jazzercize. 6:30, dinner with me. I can't cancel that again. 7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing; I'm booked. Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9 I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness. But what would I wear?

One really must love Dr. Seuss, he is rather amazing.

“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”

I love to read through the Blogs of Note -- they recently added this blog. it's very prithiful. She is very artistic and talented.


ugh.. I have found myself completely caught in the web of despair. I think I want to gift these shirts to my family. I've been browsing their website for the past 15 min. or so.
