more fragments

I'm cautiously optimistic that soon I may be able to poke my head up and look around. In the meantime, I offer a few more fragments...

more good things:

  1. pale gold sunbeams escaping through an arc of glowing pink gaps in silvery blue clouds this morning; it made me stop my bicycle and just look for a few seconds before continuing on my way over the covered bridge
  2. the begging bear in front of the art gallery glammed out in a royal purple blazer and matching feather boa, further accessorized with a big gold pimpin' necklace
  3. having a real lead on possible daycare for September -- stay tuned for more next week
  4. three nights of SYTYCD this week!

not so good things:

  1. the woman selling rose of sharon babies (many, many babies), which I've read are invasive and threatening some native plant communities, at the farmer's market last weekend (that said, they are not on the Ontario Society for Ecological Restoration's list of most dangerous invasives)
  2. Pasha getting voted off SYTYCD
  3. getting left in the dust of some super-powered go-go-gadget cyclist hopped up on coke going up the Big Hill
  4. scary youtube video of Arcade Fire performing with David Bowie, who apparently had the same plastic surgeon as Burt Reynolds and Patrick Swayze *shudders*

I love your fragments. We'll take what we can get from you, Sin. :)

David Bowie used to be so hot. And now he's just weird.
I had no idea how much I liked Pasha until he was voted off - but the finale was good anyhow.

I have to go see that video now.

Doesn't it suck being passed on your bike?

Good luck on the daycare!

Fragments are good--glad to see you poking your head up!

There is nothing quite so soul-restoring as pale sunbeams. Except, maybe, kisses from your babies.

i am going to keep my own head down and sing "la la la" very loudly with my eyes shut.
