I had my skull xrayed today. It is a gorgeous skull, it turns out. This has decided the cremation question for me. Burial it is! This beaut should stick around.
Seeing one's own skull is like time travel - in a hundred years, that's what this face will be. It's like previewing one's own death and seeing how terrible and beautiful it will be. We really aren't so different than hermit crabs - living for a time inside a shell of sorts, then leaving it behind. |
There's a strange joke stuck in my head....
Instead of a song... Jesus and St. Paul are enjoyin the Celestial Choir, when an elderly gentleman shows up, slightly confused. Paul asks his name and he shrugs, Jesus gets curious and asks maybe he could jog his memory... Older Guy "Well, I remember fish, I have a son, and I'm a Carpenter, I think...." Jesus quickly hugs him sayin' "FATHER!!!!" Older Guy : "Pinocchio !!!" My ex {who's now a Discalced Carmelite nun *thank you FaceBook*} told me this once... :mohawk: |
This tacobell craving is getting out of control...Imma make a run to the border.

A fun little fact to go with that ti-bet, the county where Paramus is located, Bergen, enforces "The Blue Law", no clothing or home good sales permitted on Sunday. All these Malls and you can't even shop on Sunday's! (Which is fine by me. I'd rather have my finger nails pulled out then to go shopping.) Thank you Lady {{{{{{{{Pamela}}}}}}}} for posting this! |
Currently, I'm at a very healthy frame of mind. I'm just tickled PINK!!!!!!!!!

Take a vacation from the Internet.

Kitty in the driveway, stalkin' the birds at the feeder....and of course, my dogs are stalking the cat ~ through the windows. That must be totally frustrating for them. hee hee

Ever seen in some Movies, where the primary character is walking really slow, Oblivious to everything, and his/her surroundings is passing by in Very fast-forward mode? The cars, the sky, pedestrians...but that one person is slower than a fucking turtle?
I know there's a term for that in Cinematography, just cant figure it.... :brainsucker: |
I fear my head may explode if I continue doing this math.

Go ahead, judge a book by its cover.

Ya know? One of the remarkable things about having a site like this is it has a tendency to draw us together across the miles......
And so....when Rufus and Melissa decided to come to Austin for Pride this weekend, they wanted to get together with as many of the Austin crew as possible....we met them for dinner tonight at Threadgill's ~ a campy place with good food and live music (outside). And here we all sat with our 2 new Honorary Austinites....and I can't speak for anyone else, but I felt as though they'd been here a while! How would we have known them had it not been for The Planet? Thanks to Jack and Medusa! What a great evening! |
Tonight's top news story: Justin Bieber is coming to town in November. I can hardly contain myself.

I don't understand why everytime my cursor is on a word a little blue box pops up with the word in different languages.
Confusion abounds this evening. |
This is Post Number One for me!:cheer:

I should be happy to have 2 barking alarms..... to alert me to a possible home invasion, Ya know.......
And they went off this morning at 4:30 am as we all heard the front door open....and I'm thinking ~ Dear GOD...did I forget to lock the front door [again!]? (I'm notorious for this.) And I can't even TELL You how quickly I went from deep slumber to terrified and wide awake when my daughter opens my bedroom door to tell me she came in "a little early"...................I wasn't expecting her until later today. :| So SHE has gone to sleep. In the meantime, I'm up, have cleaned up the "I'm so excited to see You, I've peed on the kitchen floor for You!" puppy accident, made coffee, drank 2 cups of said coffee and have done 2 loads of laundry. Stay tuned, for later today, precious daughter will be given some ground rules for this sort of thing. And btw.....her 'announcement text' that she was coming in early came after she went to bed. I know. Did I mention that I love my daughter? :tea: |
Salt and pepper should be passed together, even if the request was for only one.
