How have you been?
I've been in a weird mood.
Forever.
Now look. I went to Cornell College with a Beatles Poster in my suitcase and really only knew one Beatles' song and that was Yellow Submarine. I was ... a poser. I wanted to be the kind of person who really liked the Beatles.
That was 1996.
I am now the kind of person who knows lots of Beatles songs. But there was one Beatles song I had never heard. He and I just hadn't crossed paths.
But today, fate changed all that.
Today, I took a Facebook quiz to see which Beatles song I am. I thought Love Me Do, for sure. Maybe Octopus's Garden. Maybe Here Comes the Sun.
No. All wrong. I'm the Beatles' song I'd never heard. I Am The Walrus.
What was that??
Yeah. Naughty girl .. knickers ... Never was a Cornflake Girl. Dad used to recite Tell Tale Heart every time the power went out ... English tan ... I never knew it, but now I see it so very clearly. I always was ...
So ... I think my blog is going to go crazy for a while ... like just nutters metal bonkers bizarre.
Sorry.
And one final note. Husband got me a new camera. To replace the one I left on the bumper of his car. So ... in addition to insanity, you can enjoy pictures.
All My Love,
Mrs. B
And if you were wondering about that amazing piece of art up top? Yeah, I found it ... it's by Marty Gordon and I think he is super brilliant. I asked if I could HAVE it and he said no. BUT he said I could BUY it if it's still in the gallery and he will only charge me $30 plus shipping and handling. Y'know. My birthday is coming up ... I would be so surprised if you contacted the Amazing Marty Gordon, behind my back and bought it for me. It'd be just like back in 1983 when there was that Cabbage Patch Doll I FELL IN LOVE WITH at the craft fair. Not one of those WONKY homemade ones. She was better than a real cabbage patch doll because no pervert had branded her bum with his name! I had to see her one last time to say good bye, BUT SHE WAS GONE!!! I had a nervous breakdown. Life was not worth living if I couldn't have that brown haired doll in the purple jazzercize outfit. SHE HAD LEG WARMERS!!!! I was inconsolable. Suicidal. My dad carried me to the car, weeping, wailing, and gnashing my teeth and showed me THE DOLL! She was in our trunk. Haha. And that's how I learned there's no such thing as Santa Claus.
The End.
7 Brilliant Bits of Inspiration:
When it comes to you, music and Cornell, I always think of Deep Blue Something's Breakfast at Tiffany's. I can not hear that song now without thinking of you. I think it was the only tape you had and you must have played it 17 billion times! It used to make me want to jump out of my skin and out our dorm window, but now it just makes me smile.
Oh yeah, you are definitely the walrus. In every possible way. Ha ha!
Oh Momma.
Who or what are the eggmen, and what does "snied" mean? Would the present tense be spelled sny? Hmm, deep meaningful thoughts. That was an interesting song. I wonder if they were high when they wrote the lyrics. LOL
You know, I did a post about cabbage patch dolls and the comments were insane. I think every girl our age has a similar story.
If I were a Beatles song? I'm guessing "Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me and My Monkey". Yeah, that sounds about right.
Wow, this was an interesting post.
For your new camera I highly recommend Square Trade. It's an online post-purchase warranty dealie thingy that has already saved my behind once when Olivia smeared yogurt all over my camera and then, perhaps in a weird stab at semi-art papered it with an old piece of paper from one of my collection of 19th century books. Wow that was one long sentence. In any case, after paying the deductible, we sent in the camera and then got a check that we applied for a new camera! Yay! Their website is www.squaretrade.com.
Anyway, how's your play going?
Hey, a while back you were taking suggestions on books to read. I have one. It's called Kindred, by Octavia Butler. It's fantastic--I read it in about a day or so. It's about a woman who somehow travels back in time to slavery times to save the lives of her ancestors.....normally Butler writes sci-fi, but this is sci-fi with a very interesting twist, as it features very realistic details of 19th century life and the compromises one makes to survive.
I HIGHLY recommend it. I could not put it down.

PS, hope the unsolicited recommend doesn't bug you.
