Kellogg's Rice Bricks.

I made a batch of Rice Krispy Squares last night and they're harder than ass. I just bit into one and I may have chipped a molar. Did I not follow the recipe correctly? Was the measuring cup foreign? Maybe the tupperware had holes? Not impressed.

I spent part of this evening backing up some files onto the external hard drive that I bought oh so long ago. My laptop is in dire need of a reformatting. I'm totally avoiding the process of backing up and organizing all the crap I have all over this laptop. L.A.Z.Y.Y.Y. So far I've got about 1/8 covered. I came across one of the first illustrations I'd done a few years back. I can't remember exactly when I did it, or even why I did it. It's a little sloppy but I kinda like the way it turned out.

history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us; not even once.

This song becomes more fragile to me everytime I hear it.
The lyrics and composition take me back to Tori Amos' Little Earthquakes album. Samson has so much meaning and symbolism within it. Whichever way it is interpreted, I still believe it is her best yet.

Samson

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the Bible didn't mention us
And the Bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came falling on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed,
told me that my hair was red,
told me I was beautiful, and came into my bed
Oh, I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors and the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright and
kissed me till the morning light the morning light
and he kissed me till the morning light

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah, we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us and the Bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

'No Covers Lenny', this one's for you.

women and children first.

I thought this was fun n' sexxay. A sweet attempt at a Radiohead favourite. It made me smile.

combat baby.

I'm positive I owned at least half of these during the mid 80's.
