The Crayola Bomb

Thursday, September 21

"Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination."

implied symmetry

Even at the Pantheon, symmetry was an illusion created by the architects. There is no perfection.

Regarding ACL 2006: Muse was awesome and so were the F. Lips.

Sunday, September 10

I had a dream once, like many dreams I then had, where I was wandering around (more or less lost). Though in this dream, soon after, I was in a white room with hard wood floors and large open windows. Stepping outside to bright green green grass, I knew something had changed.

The scent in my kitchen is not carbon monoxide but I am still avoiding the room. I sense danger!

I tell them that it must be chemical
So what am I doing girl
Cry into my drink I disappear"
