Since you asked

with her killer graces
and her secret places
that no boy can fill
with her hands on her hips
oh, and that smile on her lips
because she knows that it kills me
with her soft french cream
standing in that doorway
like a dream
I wish she'd just leave me alone
but french cream won't soften
them boots and french kisses
will not break that heart of stone
with her long hair falling
and her eyes that shine
like the midnight sun
she's the one
that thunder in your heart at night
when you're kneeling in the dark
it says
you're never gonna leave her
but there's this angel in her eyes
that tells such desperate lies
and all you wanna do is believe her
and tonight you'll try
just one more time
to leave it all behind
and to break on through
oh, she can take you
but if she wants to break you
she's gonna find out
that ain't so easy to do
and no matter where
you sleep tonight
or how far you run
she's the one
with just one kiss
she'll fill these long summer nights
with her tenderness
that secret pact you made
back when her love could save you
from the bitterness
she's the one

Funny anecdote

Posted February 18, 2007 • Comments Off

I just got a piece of spam with the subject line “DoucheLink.”

The mind reels.

It looks like snow, and there’s snow under it, but it’s NOT SNOW.

The last third of this is me not being able to remember which button stops the movie recording on my camera. Sorry. (It’s the same button that starts it. I’m a moron.)

Stop looking. The BBC just won the Internet.

This looks like a normal URL to start with. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_pictures/6350023.stm

But then you get there, and you see things like this

and it makes you glad all over.

Wooden

Westlind posted a photo:

View in large - they're wooden! Taken in a public market in Amsterdam in May - after most of the real tulips had already finished blooming.

Pretty desktop picture to share

Posted February 10, 2007 • Comments Off

Anyone who wants, please take a copy of this desktop wallpaper image I just made. I’m stunned at how pretty it came out.

The linked image is the 1440×900 version. Take it, if you please, or leave a comment if you want it at a different size. If you don’t have an account, just create one using the link below, then you can comment.

I took this at the botanical park (next door to the butterfly conservatory) at Niagara Falls in July of 2004. I made it beautiful using this tutorial on the “Orton effect.”

Dentist and cookies (unrelated)

Posted February 6, 2007 • Comments Off

The dentist wasn’t bad at all. I feel silly for having been so scared. I took a Vicodin before I went, and I know it relaxed me, but next time (March 16) I think I can skip it. I didn’t feel a thing that was unpleasant, except maybe a couple twinges of vibration from the drill that sent chills down my spine. No actual pain. She even used a topical gel to numb my gum before the novocaine injection. I don’t remember that from childhood.

I did not care for the sound of the drill, of course, but I listened to my iPod (Portable EFO Show, mostly, hee) the whole time. I found the Brown daughters’ deaths very comforting in my time of stress.

I’m a quarter of the way done with the fillings, I think. She did the upper right. It cost seven hundred dollars. Be kind to your dental insurance and treasure it.

In unrelated news: You may recall last summer when I posted a photo of a treadmill on the grass around the commuter parking lot down the street. I invented a new category to cover objects like that, discarded in odd places. A few days ago I finally found a second example.

Also unrelated, I got an annual summary from Chase for my Visa card with them. It’s pretty horrifying.

Now, this is my Amazon card, and that’s really the only place I use it regularly, and the amounts in question are pretty small ($700 over the whole year), so it’s misleading, but still.

miscellany

I’m working from home. It’s making me very lazy. Very. Lazy.

We saw Into the Woods at Signature on Tuesday. It was so much fun. I just love that show to an unreasonable degree.

Lin and Max are here, and today Eileen’s baby Brenden is here as well.

Tomorrow is fondue night. Yay fondue.
