Only have eyes
Jan. 13th, 2004 07:47 pmA troop of small children wandered through the store this morning, sheparded by three adults. The kids are staggered on opposite sides of a rope, holding onto it. I'm sitting there, thinking about what a clever move this is, when the leaders show me something even cooler. They tell the kids to all put their free hand on their tummy. I assume that this command is so different from what they hear anywhere else that it's become a game and I'm just terribly impressed by the level of control managed by the magical team of rope and tummy. The kids are perfectly well behaved and I'm convinced that this is the best idea since I stole "let's play graveyard" from the Addams Family to use against my brothers.
Years ago, there was a song that Kelsey and I referred to as the punctuation song. The lyrics, roughly, went as follows: "I love you period. Do you love me question mark? I wanna hold you in parentheses...." and so on. It was played fairly often on the local top 40 station (Q105, which switched to a country format about 8 years ago) and then one day it just stopped. People tend to look at me like I've lost it when I talk about it but...do any of you remember it?
Pete's great aunt Lucille died yesterday. She was 94, and a kooky old lady...although she stopped recognizing any of us about a year ago.
Finding a new job, I've decided, will cure all my problems. This is, of course, patently wrong, but it's still got a nice ring to it. I was almost cured of my job today when we got within a gnats whisker of being shut down but sadly, evil always wins.
i have to go do the dishes now, before they rise up and try to overthrow the apartment.
