Bad Ideas

Yesterday, someone found a kitten in our warehouse, and they were trying to talk me into taking it home. This is a bad idea because a) I don't really have spare moneies for shots and things, b) Tesla doesn't like other cats, and c) being gone all day means lots of time for the kitten to pick up bad habits. They are going to trap it today, and she said she'd tell me so I can come meet the kitten. This is a BAD IDEA.

Last night, I suddenly had the mad desire to move. I want to move. I want to get out of Texas and move somewhere else and start over. Michigan, Ohio, Washington, anywhere in the Northeast. Maybe even Colorado... If someone approached me right now and told me I could move to one of these places and be guaranteed not to starve to death from being broke and unable to find a job, I'd do it. But, such a thing is not guaranteed, so I'll stay here and not run away to another state.

I'm waiting for today's bad idea.

(I still haven't folded my laundry. It's been in the basket since last Monday night. It's, um, a little wrinkly. Good thing I'm not trying to impress anyone.)

Spam Poetry

I just got the best spam ever. Someone wrote me a poem!

Scrawny wolves, and you,
As distant memories, through the fog-dimmed light,
Like an old soldier, wakeful, in his tent!
In the woods, close by,
In Winter Haven, the ballplayers are stretching
Are muffled into silence that refuses
From there. Toward . . .
Rise, to the muffled chime of churchbell choir.
Sought to contrive, intending to express
III. Earliest Recorded Northern Explorers: The Greeks and the Vikings
A kind of snow, which hesitates
with visors. Their brave recreational vehicles
So, startled, quivering,
Life, or only joy, that stands out
I am sleeping, and dreaming, and wandering along
Pierced by the mist that fades away,
Its consciousness of my white consciousness,
Are muffled into silence that refuses
Want anything said at all, which I still doubt)

Best. Poem. EVAR.


(It kind of reads like a Joy Electric song from The White Songbook.)
