Frog on the Pumpkin

Husband is right, I am obsessed with icanhascheezburger (If you don't get the captions, it helps if you check out lolspeak ) It is a website that has cat pictures with humors captions contributed by visitors. Why am I so obsessed? It's fucking funny! I love cats, and Funny * There are hundreds (likely) thousands of pictures out there......yeah, I should be doing something else! How do you get obsessed with something? Hummmm , well for me it has always been a problem. I tend to get that way, I am definitely a "fan" atic type person. If I like something I(used to) collect as much of it as possible (budget allowing). In the 80's it was Kate Bush** stuff - I have boxes (many boxes) of CDs , vinyl in many sizes(for you youngins ' they are those large wax disc that your club music comes on), posters, fanzines*, press releases, books, CD singles, collectors CD singles. magazine articles, newspaper articles, videos ( NTSC and PAL)***, laser discs, and DVDs. I did sa...

"The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter - 'tis the difference between the lightning-bug and the lightning.” -Mark Twain This is why I find it hard to blog - it's that right "word/words" thing. How clever! Blogging with pictures (mostly) ... http://pumpkinrot.blogspot.com/

Funny how one thing leads to another, and another.. and how that title sounds kinda dirty - :) I have a friend who wrote (another) book (quite funny; the books and the friend) and there are " Jazz Hands " references, so those words have been on my mind - I mean, they were there before, but not so much so. Anyway, that same friend recently did a piece on NPR - also quite funny (again, both the friend and the piece) that talked about breaking into song - no reason, (like you need one) just singing to sing . Mind you, he meant everyone else, if he heard me sign, he would recommend I stick to the shower to save all of humanity. So again, another thought that was on my mind. (I know, some of you are surprised that I have a mind - but not as surprised as me :) Was there a point? Oh, yeah, back to..... That brings me to last Saturday. We were working on props for our book, particularly the Flying Crank Ghost (the must have of all yard haunt props - really, the haunt police come rev...

I once read that the secret to a rich life is to have more beginnings than endings. I have a friend who is doing a lot of "beginnings". Everyday he tries something new . I am not that ambitious. He is a genius, or partly insane, likely both (and decidedly creative.) I was inspired. (This is usually where things go wrong.) I resolved to, and told everyone that I would, start my own blog, and so should the rest of my non blogging friends. (I enjoy lots of company.) In February, my (thoughtful - or more likely bored at work) husband who maintains our blog volunteered to get me started. He logged on, created my account and set me loose. (He usually knows better.) While he was at it he started his own blog. ( Danger, Danger Will Robinson :) Shortly after that, I pestered a friend of mine to start blogging, to share her wit with a wider audience. Not only is she blogging (for a while now), but she can draw (I hate her :) Until today, I did not have my own blog. Well, that is a bit ...
