Which isn't so much a title as an excuse to use Miss Kendall's house as a repository for the current "huh"s running through the glorified paperweight on my shoulders.
Rufus Wainwright, thank you for your song "Complainte de la Butte," (no that's not the French word for butt or anything like it), and for its ability to be put on repeat 16+ times with little annoyance to my subconscious. And the fact that it's neither romantic nor bitter, but something in-between, causing no objections from bearers of the reckless female hormone.
Current opinion on Pride and Prejudice: it makes too much sense.
Current opinion on Romeo and Juliet: same as it ever has been--disappointing.
Current opinion on CS Lewis: I love him like a fat kid loves cake.
Anything sounds seductive if you say it in Italian. I think I'm going to order spaghetti next time and say it in such a sultry accent that the waiter drops his tray.
A man will get my attention if he's etymologically knowledgeable.
A man will get my attention if he lets me talk about things that are important to me, always
having the goodness to say, "uh huh" or "really?" at all important intervals.
A man will make me smile if he lets me know I am worth a lot to him. I don't really ask for a lot.
There are few things better than Spanish rice.
When I'm an old lady, I will still hold my husband's hand in public.
I saw a couple the other day at the temple holding hands. She was fat, he was lean--it was the ultimate over-the-hill realization of Mother Goose's Jack Sprat.
And now, at long last, the Deutschmusik CD must make its debut.

Hmm..Romeo and Juliet...what about Ovid's Pyramus and Thisbe? At least they turned the Mulberry red. Romeo and Juliet didn't do that.
word verification of the day: fwaekg
can somebody tell me the definition and etymology? And then I'll interest them with the history of the word "tawdry".
i love that rufus wainwright song!
excuse me while i go watch "moulin rogue"...
What about bug boys? Will a man get your attention if he knows about entomology? "Many people think ants are a pest but I like them. To stop them coming into my kitchen I put some sugar outside. They they have so much to eat that they are not interested in coming into my kitchen." (lingolex.com/ants.htm)
I'm being serious here.
Kendall Michele, my blog seems to always, always anger you! I'm going to write about nothing but bunnies and Gollum. :)
Nama, your taste in music is admirable.
Jacob, lots of things impress me about boys. Maybe I should make a list. Not that the Boi have to have everything on that list, it's just nice to give y'alls fair warning.
