I Think We’re Being Followed

“Like, maybe it’s just the catnip making me paranoid, man, but I keep seeing that same white-and-blue truck at every corner.  And it’s always parked right next to a mailbox; like, that can’t be a coincidence.”

It’s a conspiracy, I tells ya, Sandra D.

Here Comes Peter Cottonhead

Every morning it was the same routine: Colonel Danders would make his way out to the yard to watch the sunrise, yet he never realized he was facing the wrong way until it was too late.

I freely confess to a penchant for superficial analysis and obvious conclusions, but lately I think that so many of the great debates of our day are less interesting than striving to have a good answer to the questions: "Was I kind?" and "Did I help?".

Today I am decorating while the boy naps. Here's hoping he takes a good nap, cause I have a LOT to do and knit night is tonight! (Actually, I should call it what it is- a meeting of the Crafty Bitch Stitch Club.)

Ciao, Francesco Rinaldi!

‘Ello! My name is Fabio, and you-a must-a try-a my mar-i-nara!

OK, I’m sorry. I admit, I’m not Italian. And my name isn’t even Fabio. It’s Ken. Ken, as in, “Wake me when you’re done saying ‘Ken’.” I just wanted you to think I was exotic.

[khg] taking the life

  • Nov. 30th, 2009 at 12:09 PM
he stole your plan to take over the world
took markers and crayon and made a mess
redrew all of your carefully plotted maps
but you wouldnt ask for anything less

he bought and sold your name
paid in cash and silver and traded for gold
took everything you held close and dear
never even asking how he could be so bold

he took you away from your family
from those who claimed to love you best
trained you to do things you never knew
never expecting you to do more than rest

he took you life and all that could have been
and now you never want to go back
and now you know how good it can be
and now you see things are right
and now you taste the life
and now you feel the warmth

[comments and criticisms desired as always. as with all of these. if you happen to see this and you are not tagged your comments are just as welcome. thank you drive thru.]

your cheap shots and lies
paying out to the spies
looking for something of size
that the world will despise

the way you held my hand
as if you never wanted to let go
the echo of my own words
around and out and down with the flow

little girly your time has come
little girly i have had enough
little girly this is the end
little girly just go away
little girly your time has come
little girly for you to glow away

maybe he has the love you want
pretend he saves it all for you
tell yourself things will be different
even though you know its not true

you know hell cheat and youll lie
the high life of living longing to die
private moments just to cry
knowing its pointless to care or try

but thats what your love is
poison and pain
a kick in the head
a kick in the heart
so enjoy it girly
its the dream you longed for

[khg] red wine and pills

it was fun while it lasted
and even the lasting was fun
the way things disappeared
completely faded with time
the sound of your voice
the echos in the head
the television music voices
muffled noise through thin walls
the way time healed old wounds
that never completely closed
never looking back
at things that never happened
and things no one wants to know
never again feeling the pains
that crowd an empty bed
closed eyes see no sad good byes
open cant believe what they see
you walking the same dirty grounds
from all those years ago
seeing how much has changed
how the pavement stained
keeping the dream alive
that faded years ago
another year wasted
on ten short seconds
lost in a parking lot
you dont know it
but you will never leave this place
no one seems to understand
least of all the two of us
this is why when i go
you will be going with me
buried in couple of piles
of unanswered questions

Disapproval at a Different Level

Oh my, what an – gulp – adorable bunny. Well, um, yes, I guess he does look like Clark Gable…though that’s not the first name that comes to mind. Say, is he, a, um…nice…rabbit?

Keep an eye on that one, Chelsea T.

I Spy With My Two Giant Eyes

  • Nov. 30th, 2009 at 12:40 PM

So here’s what I’ve seen so far: Fred Chipmunk has been stealing the cedar shingles off your house and using them to smoke cashews. Sylvia Squirrel, she’s my wife and I love her, but she’s been taunting that panting beast you call Captain Cuddles. And Norman Gerbil? Well, let’s just say he’s still mad that you brought Captain Cuddles home, so he’s been leaving you “presents” under your pillow.

I think we’re all square here, so can I have my Cheetos now?

Googly, Sophia P.

THIS JUST IN: The “Suck and Glare”

  • Nov. 29th, 2009 at 11:38 PM

Carl the 17-day-old kitten does not like sharing his bottle.

Izzie, the older cat sits and tries to catch a drip every time, and all Carl does is suck and glare at her.

Ariel E., thank you for bringing this look to our atten-shons and for naming your kitten ‘Carl.” Nice work.
