Okay, so now the calls have slowed to the point where I am just bored. With the prospect of getting up so obscenely early tomorrow and still having to pack this evening, I'm not too excited over the fact. Especially since I won't even arrive home until close to 9:15.
On the brighter side, I am wearing a Sesame Street shirt today. It's a mock newspaper and one of the little articles on my chest reads "Bert becomes a Pigeon?" which cracks me up.
Did you know that Bert and Ernie are named after the cops in "It's a wonderful life?" well, now you do. Just one of countless millions of usless facts that freely roam my brain. I retain the most odd bits of knowledge.
I do get to finish listening to "The Cat Who Went Into the Closet" when I get home. I really don't care if I have 2 CD's left, I'm finishing it tonight. The plot has just thickened again. James Mackintosh Qwilleran (Qwill) and Ko Kau Kum (Koko) have to figure out why Mrs. Gage committed "suicide" and what happened to poor potato farmer Mr. Inchpot....I suspect fowl play and Koko keeps finding strange things in one of the 50 closets in the mansion that they are living in.....very entertaining to listen to.
The sky is completely dark now. I cannot wait until the evening light stretches itself out over the landscape, gilding everything with its warm golden light until almost 8:00 at night. When you are sitting on the porch swing, with a nice cool glass of ice tea, enjoying the evening bird songs while enjoying the panoramic view laid out before you.
I got a cup of mandarin oranges today to eat at work (as opposed to the Zebra cake I ate earlier....I was trying to be healthy, which failed) (the fruit.....not the zebra cake)
But this is what I was saying, I opened the lid and there is a tiny, two piece, collapsable fork in the lid! How ingenious....I shall now spear the tiny orange segments with an equally tiny fork! And it is even better than that. It isn't in two pieces, rather hinged! so I can keep it and reuse it and re-amuse myself ALL over again!
The other thing that has been amusing me today is my pen. It's one of those pens that has four colors in it and you push down the little button on the top to choose your color...it is the little things in life that make it humorous...
Mmmm oatmeal cream pie, why? Because I'm bored and therefore I'm eating....not a good thing I know but soooo yummy...
Music from the three medley's that Carol Burnett and Julie Andrews did keep running through my head....probably because I've seen them so many times in the past few days. But they are just sooo goood! And I have an immense ammount of respect for the comedic genius that is Carol Burnett as well as the wonderful talent of Julie Andrews...together they are simply enchanting!
"...tell you again...who's bad!" (Julie Andrews impersonating Michael Jackson, hilarious!)
I've never heard of "The Cat Who Went Into The Closet" but that sounds humorous! ... reminds me of the englishman that went up the hill and got all the bananas.
ReplyDeleteI love thos multi-color kugelschreibers!! I had one when I was in ~5th grade that had like 12 colors! Freakin amazing! You don't see that quality these days.
the author writes murder mysteries that take place in the town of Pickaxe, in moose county 400 miles north of everywhere. The main character is James Mcintosh Qwillerian but his friends call him Qwill. He has 2 Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum. Koko has an uncanny ability to find clues and solve mysteries, while Qwill (a retired Police Journalist) enjoys solving them. She has a huge series. The first book, is called The Cat who Came to Breakfast (I believe) they are good, light hearted and not too gruesome.
ReplyDeletethe author is Lillian Jackson Braun if you wanna check them out...
