The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

well, the whole just got back from Kenya that day thing might have had something to do with it too.

Sadly, I don't like wine.

And for some reason I suspect Jesus would be kind of a buzzkill. In a nice way and all, but still.

I am waiting for Daniel to call to say that the opera he's at is over and he wants me to pick him up at the metro. Then I can have some rum. I mean, after I have picked him up. And maybe a massage.

Oo, and writing that made him call. Yay.

Hubby just had an interesting thought. There's a show about deaf people on in the background, and he suddenly wondered if deaf people have the same appreciation of poetry as hearing people, in regards to meter and rhyme and such. Does anyone have any idea?

Skipping to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Alibelle's birthday.

Happy birthday, Alibelle! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year (and for being in Natter on time for seeing the those wishes, too).

Yeah I've wondered that as well. But what about music too?

Oh and my tummy totally hates me. Thank you Katie's Ice Cream and Quiznos. Please rot in hell. Sincerely Steve

PS Did I just use the word "tummy" at 29 years of age?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I don't know about deaf poetry (as opposed to def) but I do know that YouTube and other video-sharing sites have been adopted by the deaf community as a means of sending video 'mail' and performances (storytelling, personal essays, sermons, etc.). It's like a dance with hands, which would be hard to translate to the written word, yet would have its own rhythm, figurative allusions, 'rhymes' and 'puns' in similar gestures.

I've been to one 40th, I think. It was an extravagant bash, with most parties flying in to New York and participating in a weekend of activities that ended with a huge party somewhere I don't even recal

Actually 3 because you were also at Lori's last year.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I remember my mom's 40th because she and a whole bunch of friends did this big prom-like extravaganza where they all dressed up like the 40s. But I try not to think about it because, dude! Those were adults, old people. They had kids my age! There's just no way that I'm only a few years from that. It's too much to wrap my brain around.

Anne, I'm so sorry, especially for your Mom. I guess it doesn't matter how old you are yourself, the death of a parent still hits so hard!
