may get my butt out of the house in a little bit. may not. we shall see.

youssou n'dour last night was really good. transporting, even. eventually even most of the mezzanine was dancing. so glad [livejournal.com profile] shmizla (pretty much) drug me there.

earlier in the day she'd seen a bumpersticker:

IF YOU CAN READ THIS, THANK A TEACHER
IF YOU CAN READ THIS IN ENGLISH, THANK A VETERAN


or was it "A SOLDIER"? either way, an accomplishment in pithy ign'ance. simultaneously stupid on multiple levels.

later i came up with this (variation on a theme) idea for a bumpersticker:

        FREE YOUR ASS AND
   YOUR MIND WILL FOLLOW


or is it more an idea for a religion?

i wonder whether "lord love a duck" comes from a particular concept in theology.

your mentioning a parrot reminded me of the mildly dirty joke [livejournal.com profile] squirrelykat's buddy told the other night, and that reminded me of the horrible joke the "gentleman" at our end of the table told... the one that left all aghast. or nearly all. or all? or all but him, anyway?

anyway, i'm thinking some houseplants. i'd like to branch out (or back) into houseplants, i think. if small-scale.

yeah. i remember saying "what!??" and he wouldn't repeat it. i guess somewhere in the deep recesses of his brain he may have understood what a nasty thing he had just released into the world (or revived or something--someone had obviously told him the joke before, so there are others out there who think it's funny).

house plants good. i just realized today i had neglected one of mine (a dozen leaves fell off a palm, sadly; but it's a bushy one).
