heavy chest, scratchy throat over here in bk. but thrumming along, despite the sick. well, thrumming in a bathrobe-wrapped way.
i am grateful for…
1) the larry sanders show
2) clean clothes
3) the immense outpourings around haiti. it is incomprehensible, but praying that enough outpouring reaches need. somehow.
4) clean water
5) seemingly solid ground
6) when tragedy releases love
7) and now, for contrast… the great new restaurant in bk, the vanderbilt. truly wonderful vibe, food, people. really lovely.
8) sleeping till noon
9) consistent warmth
10) good knights, sunny days
11) another amazing “bug bites” chocolate bar insert on the mantis-mimic moth: “this indonesian moth is probably mimicking the raptorial legs of a praying mantis. mimicry of a predatory insect is achieved by modifying its leg and body hairs and adjusting its behavior and body stance to a very un-mothlike state. the hairs on the front two legs create the illusion of thickened muscular legs and they are held out in a position similar to those on a praying mantis.”
i think this might be the thing for those of us who have been told all our lives to grow a thicker skin. nope! just the “illusion of thickened muscular legs” posed like an “un-mothlike” lethal insect. hm. working on that. maybe.
12) citrus
13) the poetry of l.l. cool j…. “you’re the type of girl that got class and style/still in all you need the backseat of my jeep once in a while… air freshener is kickin’/drive through for chicken…” (the video does not do it its hilariously awesome justice, but still.)
