things i learned this week:

motorcyclists can hang pieces of cardboard off the back of their seats to make up for the lack of bumpers for stickers (monday). "no wuckin' furries!"

people named raymond wells can get you psyched up about time travel (tuesday). "can you recommend some dvds?"

canada geese sometimes fly alone (wednesday). "caw!"

peter mayhew (chewbacca) is taking his u.s. citizenship oath this coming monday. neat.

on 2k5oct05, at roughly 5 pm, blogspot was doing "scheduled maintenace" when i was going to update. funnily enough, they let me log in and type up my post before giving me the boot. here is the exciting narrative i hoped to bring you then:



yesterday, i read “the yellow star: the legend of king christian x of denmark” (written by carmen agra deedy, illustrated by henri Sorensen) and “the vicar of nibbleswicke” (roald dahl’s final book, illustrated by the usual quentin blake). Both were fun-times but nothing to write home about, which is why I’m writing about ’em here.

today, i read “smile if you’re human” by neal layton. it was cute.

today and yesterday, it is/was very windy. now i don’t have to roll down my car windows to get a perm.
