Wisdom from the Backseat

“Even though I’m really smart, I still have lots to learn.”

“Sometimes, I’m an expert backseat driver!”

“Dear God, thank you for lending the stars to watch over us.”

~~It’s nice to be six and still believe that the stars follow you in your car to watch over you at night. Even cooler that he knows who to thank for that miracle.

Good News

Good News:

IZ: the problem is you are experiencing a period of self-doubt…
ME: “Period”? That would be my LIFE.
IZ: Ok, an extended period of self-doubt… it will pass.

In Passing

Thursday, July 17th, 2003

Ok… because I’m too tired to be creative, I am stealing a recent post from In Passing. If you don’t read this site regularly– What’s wrong with you?

So, here you go:

“L-o-u-i-s-i-a-n-a.”
“Where’s the ‘w’ in it, then?”
“I’m thinking you should re-think applying.”
–A woman and a man, apparently filling out a form of some sort, in line at Peet’s coffee.

Entropy

Monday, June 2nd, 2003

how could I not post this? It features my favorite word… entropy.

“There are so many people working on solving small problems. I figure if we all worked together to solve a big one, the little ones would just fall into place.”
“And I still think it’s ridiculous.”
“I’m not talking about defeating entropy, I’m talking about making it our bitch.”
–Two guys in line for Invertigo at Great America

Memo From Metreon

Wednesday, May 21st, 2003

Sometimes… I write the funny email. Usually when I need coffee.

MEMO TO: THE MUSE IZ

FROM: METREON (THE VOICE OF GOD FOR YOU NEW RECRUITS)

MUSE IZ, WE ARE NOT PLEASED! YOU CALL YOURSELF A MUSE? WE ARE LOOKING DOWN AND WE SEE THAT YOUR POOR ARTIST IS STARING BLANKLY AT HER SCREEN …(gasp) DROOLING NO LESS. THIS IS “HOLY” UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR ON YOUR PART. FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE, HUMAN, PLEASE REFER TO YOUR STANDARD ISSUED MANUAL “BEING A MUSE, EVEN A MERE MORTAL CAN DO IT!”… (SEE PG 48, “KEEPING THEM ON TRACK AND HYDRATED: CORRELATION OR CAUSE AND EFFECT”?) WE EXPECT YOU TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION IMMEDIATELY

IZ’s response: uh - ok - “GOD” needs a new e-mail address :)

This just in: Woman in San Anselmo found drooling at her computer babbling incoherently. She doesn’t seem to be a danger to her surroundings (other than the fact that the world seems to suffer a rapid rate of entropy wherever she goes…) however, she also doesn’t seem to be able to WRITE. While authorities haven’t named a suspect, they are holding her overachieving husband for questioning. It appears the man may have forgotten to give his wife her medication.

IZ’s response: How is this different than normal? LOL ;-)

Funny boy.
