If a Tree Falls in the Forest, Knock on Wood

After seeing photos of ex-bf Benji Madden spending Valentine’s Day with “I Kissed a Girl” singer Katy Perry, Paris Hilton was reportedly jealous. However, she commented “Benji is a nice young fellow, but my heart really belongs to my cat.”
It’s my opinion this depression won’t end until Paris becomes front page news again.
Falling trees are making such a racket, all “normal” background noise is being drowned out.
Paris, it’s time for you to step up. The world needs you. Do something!

I used to be purple, but then I evolved

Americans go where the money goes. That’s because we’re chameleons. That’s our reputation, whether it’s true or not. But now that the money is gone, where are we? That’s the question everyone is asking: Where are we going now, and what do we need to do to get there?

Green jobs are a way to aid the middle class: Comment by Joseph R. Biden Jr., Vice President of the United States (Philidelphia Inquirer)

When the men on the chess board
get up and tell you where to go
And you just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow
Go ask Alice
I think she’ll know
Lyrics from Jefferson Airplane, Go Ask Alice White Rabbit

A Granola type who bakes cakes for the moon as ‘offerings’, thinks tofu and tahini are great breakfast choices, and who’s idea of style is to wear multiple layers of cheap market clothes made in Cambodia from dried grass and colored using low impact dyes such as menstrual blood and compost bin ‘discharge’.

The Ghost of Christmas Present

The Ghost of Christmas Present

The tree is decorated, the gifts are wrapped and I have pumpkin bread baking in the oven. May your Christmas be filled with warmth, love and peace. Even if you don’t believe in Santa Claus.

My Christmas gifts were few: to one
A fan, to keep love’s flame alive,
Since even to the constant sun
Twilight and setting must arrive;
And to another—she who sent
That splendid toy, an empty purse—
I gave, though not for satire meant,
An emptier thing—a scrap of verse.
Poem by Thomas William Parsons, To a Lady With a Head of Diana

Shoveling Pay Dirt

Shoveling Pay Dirt

There’s nowhere to put the dirt. We open gifts on Christmas eve but they’re not wrapped and the tree is only half decorated. I was with Dell support today for two precious hours troubleshooting a computer problem. I need to bake bread and zucchini cake. I want to feel Christmassy, but I’m in a deep, deep hole right now.

He asked if I would sell my Christmas trees;
My woods the young fir balsams like a place
Where houses all are churches and have spires.
I hadn’t thought of them as Christmas trees.
Poem by Robert Frost, Christmas Trees
