I'd rather be an organ grinder's goat than eat blue ketchup. 2003-06-21 - 2:14 p.m.
So. Guess which book is now currently residing on my kitchen table? :)
On the bus to the mall this morning, I looked out the window and saw yet another groundhog. What is with all the groundhog sightings lately, in the middle of the city, no less? Is this a sign of my approaching doom? Or is snow in July a sure thing? Please sign the guestbook with your thoughts, comments, and recipes for roast chuck. Woodchuck, that is. Thank you.
Um, earlier the cat was asleep on top of a box of old National Geographics. She must be interested in either the rings of Saturn or Asiatic lions. Such a smart kitty. Anyway, it was cute and if I had a scanner and/or a working camera I would show you but I have neither so nevermind.
Alright, here is a wee little survey borrowed from Nicole:
Five foods that sound revolting:
1) different-colored ketchup (other than the usual red, mind you)
2) pork rinds
3) caviar
4) pate
5) escargot
Obviously, I am not cut out to be a snooty rich person, as evidenced by numbers 3-5.

Five "children's" movies that I loathe
Actually, wait. I have to change this question. I can't even think of five movies that I loathe, let alone five children's movies. So instead, I will say
Five books that I loathe:
1) "The Pushcart War"
2) "Hard Times"
3) "Their Eyes Were Watching God"
4) "The Shelters of Stone"
5) "The Scarlet Letter"
Now, #5 would have been a nice book, if we hadn't had to overanalyze it to death. And as for #4, Ms. Auel, what happened? You revolutionized the caveman porn genre, and yet with your long-awaited latest work, you let it fall to pieces.

3) telemarketer
4) teacher
5) organ grinder's goat
Organ grinders could have goats.

Okay, that is all. Time for a nap and much, much reading. Adieu, mes cheries. :)
