death i think is no parenthesis

If you’ve heard my mother
talk to my father
as he sits in his urn
amongst her good china,

you know what e.e. cummings meant by “death i think is no parenthesis”

If I Had You

03/08/10 | by Slightly [mail] | Categories: Happy - Song Monday!

I could show the world how to smile
I could be glad all of the while
I could change the grey skies to blue
If I had you

I could leave the old days behind
Leave all my pals, I´d never mind
I could start my life all anew
If I had you

I could climb a snow capped mountain
Sail the mighty ocean wide
I could cross the burning desert
If I had you by my side

I could be a king, dear, uncrowned
Humble or poor, rich or renowned
There is nothing I couldn’t do
If I had you

- Ted Shapiro, Jimmy Campbell, Reg Connelly

Alice

It comes out today.
The reviews are dreadful, but I´m still going to watch it.

At the very worse, I´ll cry myself to sleep after stomping around the movie theater throwing popcorn at the screen, screaming “Boo! Boo!” as if I were the ugly old woman in “The Princess Bride.”

P.S. I love Mr. Burton.
I love most of Lewis Carroll´s creatures.
Now that being said, Tim Burton´s “Alice in Wonderland” was mediocre at best.
Go see it if you have nothing better to do.

Can I say at least one nice thing about it?
Sure, I´ll say two.
The colors were nice and bright and the giant “chess board” where the armies meet is lovely.
Oh, and the teapots are really pretty.
Look at that! I even had 3 nice things to say.

Juggling Mandarins

Great part of this day was spent learning to juggle (with mandarins).


I did have that panic/almost cross-eyed face on the whole time.
