seen and heard

The other day, as I was leaving the bank with a wad of ones for the bus, I noticed a sign that says "Thank you." It's in pretty big print on an a standard sheet of paper. Along the bottom of the sign, in much smaller print, was the following: "Please see a teller or a brochure for details." I'm not sure what details are necessary in that case. Perhaps they wanted to clarify just what they were thanking me for?

---------------------

Last night, we went to dinner for possibly our last Thursday night dinner out for a while. As we were eating, someone across the dining room was imbibing in some tequila, which, she declared, changed her person-al-ity. For a full five minutes that felt like much longer, she felt it necessary to loudly repeat "Balls to the wall!" When she tired of this, she shortened it to just "Balls!" At one point, a couple of diners felt it more comfortable, perhaps, to move to our side of the dining room, away from the balls-to-the-wall woman.

Dinner and entertainment.

musical monday: i look at the world and i see it is turning

"Santana - While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

Maybe I'm just being stodgy, but I still prefer Harrison.

----------------

I just went over to a George Harrison video to give the song a quick listen and I learned, thanks to one of the commenters, that George is (was) not a plagiator*. Good deal. (Oh, also he sings "notice" where I have quoted "see" above. Just to clear up any confusion.)

----------------

* The Blogger spellcheck seems to think that I might have meant to type "alligator" there. I don't think George was that either.

(un)inspired

I was surfing around here in the interweb, looking for some post inspiration when I saw that NaBlo's post topic for tomorrow is "How do you feel about endings?" Um, I'm pretty sure I've about covered that topic.

It's beginnings right now that I'm worrying about. Or, false starts. Or, pipe dreams. (Or something.) An ending usually implies a beginning following. And, yes, there is a "beginning" door I'll choose to go through in just a few short days. However, I've let myself build up my hopes for something that I'm not sure is going to come through. I'm working on thinking that either, yes, our plans will be realized, or, no, it's not the end of the world. (I've always had a flair for the very quiet, internal dramatic.)

In the meantime, I'll try to psych myself up with upbeat music and peppy thoughts. That oughta do it, no?


"Johnny Nash-I Can See Clearly Now"

bits and bobs

* Walking to work yesterday netted me a shoe full of blood. Very nice, very nice. I took a series of buses today, instead.

* I once again have a phone that works. It's much like my old phone. Except there's a camera on this phone and it makes the loudest noise ever when capturing images.

* Alice Walker has a children's book called To Hell with Dying. Have only read the synopsis, but the title's great.

* Am wanting some silver glitter nail polish but haven't found any at Whole Foods. Am really hoping that the Coop will start selling nail polish once they move to the larger spot.

* Am always and forever completely exhausted but must read some Ursula K Le Guin before sleep.

* Hyperbole! It's, like, the absolute most greatest thing ev-ah! And, sentence subjects? Only occasionally necessary!

maybe an early morning walk?

If I leave now, I can stop for a tea. I can also drop off the book that was (oops) due domenica.

However, if I leave now, I have about an hour's walk ahead of me. And, while I do so love to walk, I don't so love to do it when laden like a pack-mule.

Okay, time's a'wastin'.

A good morning to all.

(And, no, I didn't sleep much last night -- a bit from eight to ten, but not continuously -- so that explains my current inability to form thoughts.)

musical monday: maybe i'll learn to sew

"Dolly Parton - Hard Candy Christmas 1982"

Watching this video, Pic remarked, "Whoa, they have a large family! A really large family!"

maybe...

Maybe I'll participate in NaBlo this month? We shall see. I like to start off the month all idealistic and whatnot.
