stopping the world somehow
haven't posted in a while......not that there wasn't anything to say. sometimes you just can't talk/type.
thought i'd let everyone know about Miracle Mike--the rooster who thwarted fate. on sept 10th 1945, farmer Lloyd Olsen was ordered by his wife to go get Mike for dinner. now Lloyd's mother-in-law would be there too, & she happened to have a taste for chicken neck. so Lloyd aimed the ax high up. Mike ran around as all chickens do afterwards, but then a funny thing happened. Mike ran into the coop. Lloyd figured he'd be dead tomorrow. Nope, he roosted with all the other chickens and was out "pecking" for food the next morning. so Lloyd decided he had to feed Mike somehow--with a dropper right into Mike's gullet! Mike lived a week. then another week. 18 months later Mike started choking while being fed. Lloyd tried to help but couldn't in time. Mike finally died. so how does a chicken live without a head? chopping so high up the neck left the brain stem and one ear intact. that's all you need apparently, if someone's willing to stick a dropper of food in your neck for you.
chickens aren't the only ones who can live without much brain mass either. it has been discovered that some humans are born missing large portions of grey matter. and they function rather well too. no sarcasm here. it's true.
well, i actually have a giant rant, but i just don't have the energy to explain it all. maybe some other time.
so i will instead mention that a friend of mine who lives in vermont is working at a bakery/coffee shop run by sandra bullock's sister. the actress was there for the opening. this world is quite bizarre. i'll get to see the place soon. too bad i'm not into sandra bullock.
speaking of movie stars, the local news recently had a really big heavy story!!! "what's up with brad & jennifer?!" you'll know after you watch! all the juicy details!
apparently, this was the most important thing happening in the world. ahhhh....the media. glad i don't have television.
there is this little gadget you can get that turns off most TVs from quite a distance, if the aim is right. you can actually drive around turning people's TVs off! i know people who've done this! isn't it great! too bad it doesn't keep them off permanently.
i rented a dvd from the library with short documentaries on it. one was about an artist named jay something or another. can't remember. but what he does is great. he puts up for sale signs everywhere. what does he sell? a cracker for 15 cents. a push-pin for 35 cents. a pen cap. an eraser. and people will call and buy! what does he spend his earnings on? photocopies! this guy was awesome! the best thing was that he just did it to do it. whereas it was others--an art collector, random conceited egoists--who tried to blow it out of proportion. somehow they were able to masturbate their egos with this when it wasn't even their work! there needs to be a campaign against ego masturbation. something like the "every time you masturbate, god kills a kitten" thing. so don't kill kittens. or rather don't make god kill kittens. 'cause god kills an awful lot of kittens already, and i don't think it needs to kill anymore. the big meanie!
oops! maybe i offended some egos or some gods? can't please everyone all the time now can we?
hey when you were a kid did ever get told "just b/c everyone else is doing something, doesn't mean you have to" or "if everyone else jumped off a bridge, would you?".....well, 'cause i think that's a great thing to say to your parents when you're all grown up but not living your life the way they did and their parents did, etc. really. but you have to say it in the appropriate tone--like you are speaking to a 5-year-old. or perfectly calm and ordinary. both would grab attentions.
my kitten is climbing on everything everywhere. she's finds new precarious perches by the hour! and cute as ever! the notorious Rumpelteazer.
animal friends make me really happy.
gotta go. major tom is contacting ground control this time. don't want to let him down.
