monday-things that please me
i love a parade!
i really loved the goths manning the float (gothing the float?)(sounds like a band)
these guys had their own travelling gazebo
i have no idea what that figure in the gingham dress is supposed to be

i'm hoping it's a gingerbread woman
this band was freaking awesome. they played "i like to move it move it" which was entirely unexpected.

friday-things that amuse me
the charlie brown thanksgiving special.
i wish anyone still trusted kids to laugh at myles standish jokes. (there was a bugs bunny sketch about myles standish, where elmer fudd sang "you must have been a beautiful baby" and to this day when i hear the song i want to tag on at the end "signed myles standish")

number 200
yes we have no life
i keep attempting surveys on big numbers, with more success at 100 than i had at 50.
in honor of the season, say one thing you're thankful for, or one thing you want for christmas.
happy commenting!

(warning, youtube link)
rufus and martha wainwright singing everybody knows in i'm your man, which from what i've seen of it, is a pretty awesome movie (i came in three quarters of the way through while nix was watching it).

perhaps another change?
since we have already established that all that i need is the air that i breathe and to love you, i am thinking, perhaps another change. citizen k suggested things that make the heart beat faster, so i'll go with that today. thoughts? suggestions?
things that make the heart beat faster
things that make the heart beat faster
- a loud noise in the night
- a brush of the hand across my face
- a kiss on the neck
- running for the train

that they won't tell me if i have to report for jury duty thanksgiving week until friday after 5. this makes planning a little difficult, as i don't know if court is in session on friday the 24th.

i guess the obvious one is that the democrats have taken back the house and the senate, though to be honest, i'm a bit conflicted about party politics. i refuse to be excited that a former reagan cabinet member who authored an article titled "women can't fight," and who cites his favorite presidents as jackson and reagan won, and a man who supports gay-marriage, stem cell research, has a great environmental record and voted against the war even when kerry and clinton were jumping on the bandwagon, lost.
i guess, barring that, i'll say that really good coffee pleases me.

peter mulvey in concert.
the man is really funny. nix and i saw him recently with a couple els, a jay, and some friends of one of the els. he sang his own back up on one of the songs, he covered prince, and seguyed one song into ice cream, by sarah mclachlin, try to remember from the fantasticks (we miss you jerry) and jesu joy of man's desiring.
bloody brilliant.

people who use "literally" to mean "figuratively." especially in certain books about andrew jackson.
now i am not predisposed to like this particular president (i'm not over the whole trail of tears thing), but bad grammar makes it worse.
also, he misrepresented vermont's entry into these united states. . . and called us "pesky vermonters." even if his premise was accurate (which it's not!), it's a little too twee for academic scholarship, don't you think?

this kid:
i was walking to work the other day--one of those glorious fall days, where it was actually temperate and sunny, and i see this forward thinking young man. it reminded me of nothing so much as piglet under the tree, repeating, "tut, tut, it looks like rain."
