Pandog















I liberated this from cuteoverload.com. It was just too cute not to post.

I neglected to mention that before I saw Capote, I bought a bunch of CDs. I used to go on huge CD buying sprees. When I was living in Newton, MA, one of my housemates told me where Newbury Comics (a CD store) was. I said, "You shouldn't have told me that." When I came back with a huge stack of CDs, she said, "Wow. I guess I shouldn't have."

I'm more restrained now, but I was feeling a little moody before I saw Capote, so I treated myself to:

Moby - Moby
Moby - Everything is Wrong
Everything but the Girl - Temperamental
Modest Mouse - Good News for People Who Love Bad News
Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism

I haven't listened to the last one yet. I bought it because I love Postal Service. I read an Amazon customer review of Death Cab's newest CD, "Plans," and it said, "If you liked 'Give Up' by Postal Service, buy this immediately." So it's on my wish list. I love Postal Service beyond all reason.

Every song on Modest Mouse is not a winner, but it's overall very good and sounds like a mellower David Bowie.

A few entries down, we're having a "When Harry Met Sally" quote-off if you want to participate. Hopefully we will piece together the entire script ;)

Update: The Death Cab CD is great. Can't-leave-once-you-put-it-on good. Except for the first song. I hate it when a bad song is the first track! See also - Coldplay's second CD.

You should have told me you wanted the Modest Mouse CD--I bought it, but I only like a couple songs on it and I have them on my computer now :)

KitKat - I think it fizzles out near the end. I like the beginning though. I think it was only 9.99.

Carolyn - I think it's a cutie! It's as if a panda and a dog merged.

I didn't think it was ugly - just freaky!

Does it eat shoots and leaves?

Hehe. Did you read that book?

No, but I should. My punctuation is horrible. Perhaps it's because I was always skipping out of school.

I especially hated doing sentence diagrams.

Oh yeah, sentence diagrams are the worst. I think my school decided they were outmoded.

I LOVE sentence diagrams! Really, I do.

Interesting.

Didn't they always use a Tennyson poem about an eagle and cragginess for sentence diagrams?

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
