bec76 and I were over at a friend's house. At some point in the midst of some semi-scandalous discussion and silliness, she turned to Friend and said something along the lines of "This is why I love living with her; it's like living with a sex muppet."I approve of this new designation. Sex Muppet it is.
In other news, I'm seriously considering an ogle-fest of bad movies sometime in the next week or so. I can't really see any reason to go see either Charlie's Angels 2 or Pirates of the Carribean except for my own innate lechery. Still... Pirates of the Caribbean, especially. I'm such a child of the 80s. Mmm. Johnny Depp. Mmmm. And Orlando Bloom, too. Can you say "slash-potential", boys and girls?
And in generally good news, the migrainish ick that was going on this weekend and really pissing me off seems to be gone. I'm a much happier and more satisfied camper.
We got a lovely thunderstorm on Sunday. Becca and I ended up driving out to Edgewater Park and watching the storm roll in over the lake. Absolutely gorgeous, and we lamented a bit over not having a camera.
I got a chance to have some phone conversations that made me happy, with leyloken and Chad, and am hoping schedules will finally synchronize for a good long conversation with forestfire.
And I got a very unexpected email from a woman I had a crush on at BECAUSE two and three years ago (saw her both times I went). Surprising, but cool.
And my brother jajy1979 got the news -- He's going to Hawaii. By July 21st. I think this is a very good thing for him. I'm not certain Mom and Dad are so convinced.
I'm really developing a love of our front porch. We're on the second floor of an old house, and we've got a porch that runs the entire length of the front of the house. We've taken to leaving the front door open (and keeping the lights off in the house to avoid attracting insects), and the entire place is much cooler now. The pets are loving it. The cats are spending most of their time sprawled on the rug out there, no one's tried to catapult themselves off the roof yet, either, although Mushroom explored the roof and gutters briefly. Jax (our hyperactive dog) is digging being able to run out front and see who's walking down the street, rather than destroying the shades and the CD player trying to see out the windows. I'm pondering whether it would be feasible to get bead curtains for the entire length, though. I don't like that the door opens onto our living room, and I'm having to be at least marginally dressed in the evenings if the door's open.
I am not developing a fondness for our mulberry trees. I keep looking around at the litter of fermenting purple berries covering the entire driveway, walk, trash cans, cars, etc, and thinking "starving children in Africa..." Purple polka-dots everywhere. On my feet. On my hands (when I take out the trash). On the cars. On the dog. And they're smellin' not-so-nice anymore, too. Still, the fact that our rainstorm puddles turn deep blackish-purple is kinda neat.
On the down side, I'm still feeling kind of anxious and insomniac. Not really severe at the moment, but often a sign of impending depression. Ick. And the hyper-critical brain-mice are back.

Date: 2003-07-07 09:59 am (UTC)Is that what Prince was talking about all those years ago? I always thought it was meant to be metaphoric. Who knew?
Anyway, I thought they were bushes? Like in the song, "here we go round the mulberry bush" Or have I been lied to by yet another nursery rhyme? The rate things are going, I'm just going to hold on to a tiger's tail even if he hollers!
Sorry, I hate to pout but I've been out of smokes for a while and a little cranky.
Sex Muppets, except for the blatant copywright infraction, would be a superb band name!
Hey I don't care how bad Pirates of the Carribean may be, I love Swashbuckling movies. I have no idea what it means to swashbuckle or swashbuck even but none the less, the open seas, nicely coreagraphed swordfighting (and with none of that frou frou matrix style crap either), the occasional damsel in bodice; and I'm there!
I'm sorry to hear about the mice. Just so long as you don't use Brain-glue traps on them. That's too cruel. May the Brainowls come home again to feast on them.
Oh and P.S. whatever is behind the cut tag that is not worksafe. is driving me crazier than bike sized wrapped gift the day before a five year olds birthday!
All I'm saying is there better not just be socks and a card back there.

Not a sock to be seen. Would I tease you like that?

Date: 2003-07-07 10:32 am (UTC)2) I would so love to have a mulberry bush. I had one as a kid growing up. I would find some sort of crates to put beneath the bush so when the berries fell off you could easily collect them, and then I'd use them to make a stain/paint type thing. Oh, and you can eat them/cook with them too, of course, but there comes a point when you're eating too many and you just make the paint ;)
3) Do you like reds? Varigated reds, but all very red, nothing really close to pink...
Re:
Date: 2003-07-07 10:50 am (UTC)Our neighbors had one in their backyard, but they had a couple acres, so it didn't take over the way these two have (we have a little lot, and it's completely and totally covered). I loved it then, when I could go pick them and eat them off the tree, but not so much when they're taking over our driveway.

Could be fun, actually... Unfortunately, with six cars between our house and the next (two houses split into apartments), I'd have to put the baskets on the cars, and I have a feeling my uptight downstairs neighbors would object.

Oh, my yes. especially orangey-reds. *curious* Why do you ask?

Color me jealous. Z and I have been lusting after second floor porches for years now. I think it would be wonderful to have a second floor porch on a piece of secluded property that overlooked a lake or some other body of water. I would love to lay naked, petting my cat, sipping iced tea, watching water move - possibly in a hammock. I can dream.
And the hyper-critical brain-mice are back.
Sorry to hear that. I can sympathize.
Re:

This is a lot to do with the temptation to put up bead curtains around the entire porch, instead of just across the front door. I want to extend my nekkid-space outward, and I've kind of lost my back porch nekkid space, with the new construction next door, and the neighbor-who-didn't-care moving out.
Brilliant!
Date: 2003-07-07 11:16 am (UTC)That's a card that will be remembered and used!
Why, that's the sort of thing that even if you don't get along in the long run, a person will still hold on to for a long time as a souvenier.
