there's this bit on bones where booth is arguing about how voodoo is no good and bones says "it's a religion no less valid from christianity or whatever you are... they pray, they have the same saints that you do, they believe in zombies" and booth says "i don't believe in zombies!" and she says "didn't jesus come back from the dead?" and he says "JESUS IS NOT A ZOMBIE!"

my friend olivia sent me this cool link to a cat cam, a guy attached a camera to his cat and took back the pictures of all the cat's adventures!

This Is Just To Say
William Carlos Williams

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

[1934]



Variations on a Theme by William Carlos Williams
Kenneth Koch

1
I chopped down the house that you had been saving to live in next summer.
I am sorry, but it was morning, and I had nothing to do
and its wooden beams were so inviting.

2
We laughed at the hollyhocks together
and then I sprayed them with lye.
Forgive me. I simply do not know what I am doing.

3
I gave away the money that you had been saving to live on for the next ten years.
The man who asked for it was shabby
and the firm March wind on the porch was so juicy and cold.

4
Last evening we went dancing and I broke your leg.
Forgive me. I was clumsy, and
I wanted you here in the wards, where I am the doctor!

[1962]

i've been listening a lot to garbage, garbage. actually i'm just listening to the song "vow" off it. i wonder why at the time i first bought the album in early secondary school, why i didn't really like that song very much. i mean, i did, but i didn't appreciate it the way i do now. now i put it on and jump around the room yelling along, it's the best revenge song ever. plus, it's a pop gem, with that raging guitar riff. it would be great to hear a quietly furious piano cover by someone, not necessarily tori, maybe even some band with a male vocalist. i like it when she says "you crucified me but i'm back in your bed", because you know something really bad has gone on, and that the revenge she's taking stops at absolutely nothing. maybe i'm an angrier person now than i was when i was 12. or maybe i just recognise my anger more. i'm pretty sure i must have been full of rage then, too.

yousendit garbage - vow

here is a link to a download of a tori amos song off her most recent album with a catchy chord progression and good flow and cathartic lyrics that might provide some emotional release.

( study whinging )

on personality tests, even personality disorder tests, what does it mean when it says, detail oriented or focused on the big picture? how can someone be one or the other? everything's connected, there are countless shades of grey. i don't really understand it. it doesn't seem to mean anything.

here's a song i listened to for a week last week. i like the noisy guitar in the chorus, it reminds me of common people by pulp - but that this is dream pop.

grandaddy - the crystal lake

"one can get through almost everything on the strength of one good week" - madeline l'engle

here is a song i uploaded to share by an australian band that was popular here early 2000's. i've never done this before so i hope the link works.

( if you can't download it, or don't like sopranos, you can just read the lyrics )

i like some of these incomplete proverbs completed by 12 year-olds.

"Where there's smoke there's ...Pollution."

this could explain why my mother gardens so obsessively.
