1. I ate left over sushi for breakfast. Read: dried out, crunchy rice, brown avocado, and mushy carrots.
2. Snow Bear is beginning her metamorphosis into the Princess of Darkness. She cussed me out in rabbit vernacular while sloughing off excessive layers of my epidermis with her rapid-fire action feet. Then she bit me.
Devil Dog's companion Beelzebub Bunny
I am fearful that this is the beginning of the end. This is how it all started with the Devil Dog. The question begs to the asked: are we fit to raise socially adjusted animals?
3. I can’t find a song that I want to hear during my 5 miler this afternoon. Goodness knows I can’t suffer through a 7.5 mile pace without solid mental distraction and an excellent bra.
4. My kids, who have been moving at glacial speed through their studies recently, knocked out their core subjects in 3 hours which is a world record for them. I dedicate Bowie’s song Changes to them today.
5. I finished At Home by Bill Bryson this weekend.
Bill Bryson's latest
Mmm..breakfast of champions. I hear rabbits make an excellent stew! Oh wait, you’re a vegetarian-scratch that. I hear rabbits make a beautiful fur coat! I just read PT-109. It was terrific. It’s about JFK’s service in WWII as a torpedo boat skipper and they get sunk when a Japanese destroyer rams into them and deserted on an island. True story. I’ve sworn off any sort of reading that’s not education and won’t fill me with indispensable amounts of knowledge….and maybe someday help me win Jeopardy. Damn dryers. I hate it when they eat your clothing…especially your delicates. They’re called ‘delicate’ for a reason. Is glacial speed faster than the speed of sloth? For me everyday is starting to feel like a Monday and that can’t be good.
Jen, This is Cate. I watched the movie PT-109, along with all the historical DVD’s about Kennedy and his times (what am I saying…I was in 7th grade in PE class when we got the news he had been shot). I’d love to hear what your reactions to the book was. Some say he was a hero, others say that he was neglegent to be hit. How it changed JKF, and affected his future decisions to AVOID war at all costs would be a good conversation, too.
I detest Monday. Although Tuesday ain’t much either. I am in a mood. Not even that time of the month either. What is up with me? Really? Great post.
Just wondering if Snow Bear shows any sign of appreciation for the bags of greens I’ve been sending her? Before we decide her fate on these aggressive/ungrateful issues….she did survive, as a bunny, some brutal cold weather.
I’d love to be in a book club with you (except I don’t have the patience for books when I can watch a DVD in 1 1/2 hours). What I’d really like, and have put out to the universe this year, is a DVD club….watch a movie together and discuss it. So many themes are coming together for me that we could watch a 12 DVD’s…all related somehow, and develop themes and insights over a whole year….sound a little like a college syllabus?
For example, my current theme is the mind. In this catagory is Lovely, Still, documentary on lobomoties, documentary on shock treatments, and Stepford wives. Then, we could jump to quantum physics (believe = all things are possible) and discuss how the enemy comes against our mind so we won’t believe. Then….we’d have to discuss Mitt Jefford’s article (edited by me) that brings the spiritual message home. I’ll email you that article.
As you can see….its lonely having all this quantum brain activity without someone to discuss it with!
Looking forward to tonight. Hope you can take home some sushi for breakfast tomorrow.
Love,
Mom
