I just watched a poetically beautiful insect suicide. |
|
I'm eating Atkins ice cream out of the carton. The lid is upturned on my desk. A moth just flew right into the lid and started rolling around in the bits of chocolate that are on that side of the ice cream carton lid. It struggled a bit, and then was still.
Death by chocolate, indeed! What a way to go, eh? :D
No, I'm not putting the lid back on the carton. It's a very small carton, and was only half full when I sat down with it tonight, so I shall finish it. :9

That moth gave his life that I might enjoy peanut-butter-chocolate-swirl with only 6 carbs.

7. LOL....seriously, it was! |
|
A pint is 12 carbs. I eat half at one time; that's 6 carbs a day for dessert. I use the rest of my carbs up in veggies. Really!! :D

8. A kick in the moth's memory! |
|
Thank you for giving your life, dear moth, to illustrate the beauty of chocolate! Once you'd wriggled around in chocolate ice cream, you had nothing left to accomplish in life. You went out on a high note. Bless you!!

12. Hey, I don't have that one anymore, tigereye. |
|
I'm a Dio man now.
Anyway, I got the idea for the Santorum sigline from SGW.

|
had vanished and you are to be congratulated. I thought you still had the link... shows I was truly payin' attention. Esp. since I was complaining.( Actually I kind of got used to seeing him. Don't tell anyone.)
BTW Shut up and play yer guitar!

14. I can't. I'm at work. |
|
And you should never make a Zappa reference when talking about my guitarrorism. It is blasphemy.
Make a Lydia Lunch reference, that is more apropos.

I know, you're at work. But since I can think of so few rock references ( and I really like Frank) I had to go with it. Plus it's a METAPHOR as well. :)
now I really have to get back to writing as I soon have to pick up the not so little one from school. He just turned 8 yesterday!

he got too much stuff, including a trickster kit with hand buzzer, snake in a can of nuts and scary teeth. Pretty funny. I can't believe he is 8. Now I have to worry about what kind of music he will like. Although since he has been exposed to Beefheart, Ramones, Frith, Eno, the Clash, etc, it is hard to say.

15. Check out the life cycle of the Mayfly... |
|
Born as a larva in freshwater streams, where it seeks to feed while avoiding being fed upon. Emerges on the surface of stream, without mouthparts but with a singularity of purpose: to find a mate before dying from exhaustion. Mates with another mayfly, whence it dies upon the water's surface, becoming food for trout.
Rinse, repeat.
