From the Mouth of a Six-Year-Old:
“Mom, when Rheanna killed that spider last night, I was feeling apprehensive.”
This has been From the Mouth of a Six-Year-Old.
Kiddo would sustain on whup cream alone if I let her.
I forgot to mention the fact that for about fifteen minutes, I was in front of my speech class with my group trying to re-orchestrate our parts around the fact that one girl didn’t show up. One of the guys turned and whispered furiously, “She’d better be having a baby.” It was strangely calm – I remember my stomach turning when I had to present anything in school. I had to do a ten minute speech on an entrepreneur of my choice (Richard Branson) during sophomore year in high school and it was the first speech I ever gave that I didn’t completely fucking panic about. Figure that was about nine years ago (oh my gah) and it’s only gotten easier. I was shocked.
Next up: demonstrative speech. Followed by: Persuasive speech. I’m getting all gay marriage rights on those cats for the latter.
Kiddo and Ree and I played Wii last night. There is a dancing challenge on the Raving Rabbids game where you use the remote and the Nunchuck to follow the dance moves on screen. My neighbor took video of us waving our hands in the air and thrusting around. I nearly nail Kiddo in the head with my remote. It’s quite the hilarious work out.
I’ve been watching Trust Me. I’ve been nostalgic for Love Monkey for too long, so when I saw the trailer for a show with Tom Cavanagh in the work place, I figured, close enough. And it’s actually quite good.
While on a quick break from the Vonnegut stack I got in the mail from my friend Kevin, I picked up Odd Thomas, by Dean Koontz, because it's been on my shelf for over a year. Koontz is great for story telling and convincing the reader of the impossible through very intelligent prose. There was a period of time that I couldn't get enough of him - then I see sentences like, "The bumps on my skin indicated that I should have feathers and a beak..." instead of, I HAZ GOOSEBUMPS, and I remember why I can only do one or two of his novels a year. (Believe it or not, I went through this insatiable stage with Danielle Steel too.) Which isn't to say I have a leg to stand on but for some reason that sentence really pissed me off.
Yeah, I think it's hilarious too, that I of all people, just criticized a well known, very talented writer. BA HA. HA.
The Specials are playing on my work computer and I’m yawning. There should be no yawning in ska.
