When I was little I had this fascination for things in jars- food, marbles, babies, two headed cats and dogs, mutant fish and frogs, internal organs
and of course ships.
Put it in a jar and I would sit there and soak in every little detail
for hours at a time.
And now I think that what I was doing
was waiting for those preserved things in jars
to move.
Could this be the best
David Tennant Photo EVER?
I’m not sure.
I think I see some research
in my future.
Lots and lots of
research.
Wow.
Being a serious writer
is hard work!
moar funny pictures
I think that David Tennant likes this guy..
UM.
A LOT.
PLEASE NOTE
I am Thankful For:
Godzilla Movies- because when I was a kid it was nice to see a big monster make grown-ups ( who looked teeny tiny people ) cry like babies.
My husband- and I’m not saying that because I desperately want Pirate Boots for Christmas, I’m saying that because I’m going to GET Pirate Boots for Christmas.
My family who not only accept me in all of my weirdness they can do it with a smile on their faces ( okay, so they’re laughing hysterically, whatever- sometimes you have to take what you get )
My friends out here in the real world who put up with me in the cyber-world and support my writing- just by reading it- no kidding,-like it’s not enough to deal with me- on top of that they deal with my weird stories about cannibals and graveyards and the stuff I write here.
They’re Saints I tell you…SAINTS.
I’m also thankful for my Cats and my Dogs because they remind me everyday that I’m not an island, that what I do affects the world around me and that one good deed can without a doubt not matter-
but you should do them anyways.
And of course, I’m thankful for Bruce Campbell and David Tennant and Swing Music and of course Mozart.
So as I spend Thursday in self indulgence mode, I am going to be thankful for the world around me and for the people and thing inside of it
and I’m going to enjoy it all.
I hope you do to.
Happy T-Day

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don’t want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don’t think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won’t have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door,
that’s the easy thing to do
I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too
(Short Music Interlude)
Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian
(Short Music Interlude)
There’s lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I’d feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage
I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too!
Christmas novelty song written by John Rox and performed by Gayla Peevey
I have a half dozen friends
who all share the same name
and
who to this day
all go by nickname based on their real name.
Why?
Because their parents were total hippies and named them after a song about a floozy named
Cecilia.
CECILIA- Simon and Garfunkel
CHORUS:
F Bb F
Cecilia, you’re breaking my heart
Bb F C
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Bb F Bb F
Oh Cecilia, I’m down on my knees
Bb F C
I’m begging you please to come home
F
Come on home
CHORUS
F Bb F
Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia
Bb C F
Up in my bedroom
Bb F
I got up to wash my face
Bb
When I come back to bed
C F
Someone’s taken my place …CHORUS
F Bb F Bb F C
Bo po bo bo …
Bb F Bb F
Jubilation, she loves me again
Bb F C
I fall on the floor and I laughing
