  • amen sister!

    now here’s a quote that actually makes me want to go to new york and flaunt my pantones!

    New Yorkers Are Ultra-Sensitive About Color
    Guy at bar: And so I keep trying to tell my wife that sienna is not a color.
    Girl passing by: Yes it is! Burnt sienna is a crayon you slanderous prick!

  • Tree of Art in the Limpopo Province

    there’s an e-mail doing the rounds about an amazing art tree in the limpopo province. amazing as it is, this is not a real baobab that some savant spent half a millennium carving into a monument to his erotic fixation with martian women.
    sorry to burst the bouble, people, but these pictures are of disney world’s “tree of life“.




    awesome? certainly.

    worth clogging up every inbox south of atlantis? no.

    i wish people would think before forwarding bull:

    1. no-one sends you money for every mail you forward. spam doesn’t pay.
    2. the angel of death will not weld your rectum shut if you don’t forward spam.
    3. photos of mutant weredonkeys are fake. calm down to a panic and hit “delete”.
    4. no government or super lottery uses yahoo accounts. they can afford their own domains. duh.
    5. doctors, kings, princes and deranged necromancers that offer you gazillions of dollars from some unattended spanish inheritance trust in nigeria are evil. give them your details and the angel of death will disembowel your smurf collection.
    6. spamming 7 people in 7 minutes will not bring you great fortune in 7 hours. nor will your long deceased great grandfather knock on your door at 7am to ask for some fresca.
    7. spamming 70 people, though, will magically invoke the demonic twin of chuck norris. pull yourself towards yourself and run – this dude doesn’t wear pajamas…
    8. if you really want to know what color my underwear, favorite cyanide cocktail or answer to furry nipples is – phone me.
    9. i am not a better friend for returning/forwarding money-fairy emails. real friends will haul your delusional behind to the insane asylum, where nice people in padded rooms will talk to you about being napoleon and their passion for flying circumcisions.
    10. sending $50 to someone you don’t know is very kind. you will not, however, find a yacht in your slippers in the morning.

    *sigh* i feel better now.

  • oh my goth…

  • A Piece of Sky

    http://youtube.com/v/Rt_jjHAQoJU

    i watched Yentl tonight, for the first time in who knows how long. and it’s perfect. especially now that i’m preparing to go on my own “voyage”, as it were.

    Tell me where
    Where is it written
    What is it I meant to be?
    That I can’t dare…
    It all began the day I found..
    That from my window I could only see
    A piece of sky.
    I stepped outside and looked around.
    I never dreamed it was so wide
    Or even half as high.
    The time had come
    (Papa, can you hear me?)
    To try my wings
    (Papa, are you near me?)
    And even thought it seemed at any moment I could fall,
    I felt the most,
    (Papa, can you see me?)
    Amazing things,
    (Can you understand me?)
    The things you can’t imagine
    if you’ve never flown at all.
    Though it’s safer to stay on the ground,
    Sometimes where danger lies
    There the sweetest of pleasures are found.
    No matter where I go,
    There’ll be memories that tug at my sleeve,
    But there will also be
    More to question, yet more to believe..
    Oh tell me where?
    Where is the someone who will turn and look at me?
    And want to share
    My ev’ry sweet-imagined possibility?
    The more I live – the more I learn.
    The more I learn – the more I realize
    The less I know.
    Each step I take –
    (Papa, I’ve a voice now!)Each page I turn –
    (Papa, I’ve a choice now!)Each mile I travel only means
    The more I have to go.
    What’s wrong with wanting more?
    If you can fly – then soar!
    With all there is – why settle for
    just a piece of sky?
    Papa, I can hear you…
    Papa, I can see you…
    Papa, I can feel you…
    Papa, watch me fly!

    why settle for just a piece of sky ;0)
    (looks like a love for barbra streisand is part of pink genetic coding *lol*)

    He Could Also Bite Your Knee-caps Off, So Be Careful

    Dwarf with walking disability: Could you go upstairs and get me a glass of water?
    Man: Water? To drink?
    Dwarf: Yeah, to drink. What do you think I’m gonna do with it, wash my hair?
    Nearby woman: You could swim in it, I guess.
