Saturday

Bright sun and cold, 28 degrees. But it is supposed to get above freezing today! Looked in the back yard and saw a chickadee, two purple finches, and some tiny yellow-breasted bird on the feeders.

Have been reading Michael Pollan's The Botany of Desire and loving it.

Not sure what's on the agenda today, so have a couple of news articles. For folks who read the recent collaborative fic Roll the Bones, I think this might be one of Colt's long-lost cousins -- man in hospital gown steals fifty bucks, tries to escape on Walmart scooter. Also, guys will stick their dicks in anything. And then not be able to get them out. Heh.

Heh. I am pretty sure I remember an incident from Dick Cavett's autobiography in which he was about 12 years old and dared a friend to stick his in a vacuum cleaner hose. While it was on.

But the real question is, did his friend actually do it? And if so, what was the result?

I can absolutely see kid!House daring someone to do the same kind of thing. Or lying and telling the other kid that it was fun, he'd done it himself. Heh.

Okay, I've managed the "shoes on" part and I feel somewhat more "together" (it'll help when my hair dries), so. Time for music and some kind of productivity.

I am not going there, I am so not going there...

YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO WRITE IT, TOPAZ.

He did! And I think what happened was that Cavett said his friend's face turned bright red, the vacuum cleaner roared, and, in a huge anticlimax, shut itself down. It's been MANY years since I read the book, but I remember it was terrific.

And absolutely yes on kid!House. Hee.
