Blue Monday

I like it.

But, but, but.

Lately I've spent time writing furiously in my Hong Kong Comics notebook. It's a notebook I used to reserve for exercises from the Feeling Good Handbook, but it's my favourite so I decided to expand its purpose. I have been recording some of my most messed up feelings, memories, questions and opinions. The book's front cover features a cartoon of a marionette soldier with one leg missing, holding a bayonette; maybe it's because of him that I feel my most private thoughts are safe, but the cover also boasts a fat man marrying a woman with large hips, plus a caged bird and an abacus.

Excerpts: Tepper isn't Going Out

by Calvin Trillin

....."What's he selling now?"
....."One of those doodads you put around your neck to help you sleep on the plane," Tepper said.
....."What else does it do?"
....."Well, it's a very good thing to sit on for an exteremely tiny person who's just had a hemorrhoid operation," Tepper said. "But Barney isn't pushing that use."
....._____

....."If you wanted to start riding a motorcycle, I wouldn't say a word. Maybe I'd say, 'Wear a helmet, Murray.' Otherwise, nothing. If you got yourself a popsie on the side, I'd probably say a little something--out of respect to Ruth. I'd make my opinion clear one time, and then you'd do what you wanted. With this, I'm not even going to say anything once. If you want to park, park.
....."Thank you, Howard," Tepper said, rather formally. "If you want to get a popsie, wear a helmet."

O Happy Day!

No Cow is Sacred: The House MD and CSI:NY Drinking Games

In theory, I'm all for drinking games.

I know, I know. You don't care anymore. You get it. I like Over the Rhine.

Heh. But it's still my blog.

Now this one is speaking to me:

Bothered

Don’t be bothered by the fears
I’ll try to bottle them
Like my mother’s perfume
She wore it only on Sunday
Kept it safe in her room
In a chest with a key
We found it anyway

I don't wanna waste your time

But you should hear this.

On Love & Cheese

This is lengthy, and at times verging on the cheese factor, but bear with me.
