dear friends and strangers:
i hope you're splendid, i am well.
i just had alison over for a visit. it was nice to see her as usual, but the interesting thing about this conversation is that it felt like the second part of a conversation we had before she left for hong kong. its like those 2 conversations bookend the summer. its amazing all that can happen over the course of 2 months.
well i'm totally elated. i've had a break-through on the living room front. its like the topic has been planted in my mind and is coming together nicely. now i'm getting excited!
there's something wrong with the world today and i don't know what it is... oops, sorry, didn't mean to break into aerosmith song there. there's something wrong with my eyes. they've been really itchy on and off throughout the day. its like its some kind of allergy, but i only have spring allergies. i did try to participate in the ragweed allergy study at kgh a number of years ago, but it turned out i wasn't allergic to ragweed. not even a little bit! i wonder... could it be? have i developed a ragweed allergy?? here's hoping. its worth 500 bucks!
there's something smelly in my kitchen and i can't find it. its really annoying. i just get little whiffs of it from time to time. its not the garbage. its not the fridge. its not below the sink. i think it might be down the drain. i DID have to plung the sink the other day because the water wasn't draining properly.
i'm feeling a little hungry. alison and i had some of my coloured popcorn. they really are the smallest kernels i've ever seen. hmm, why is colonel pronounced kernel? so confusing! its like we're pretending there's an R in that word when really there isn't. well i'm not being fooled! you've got to get up pretty early in the morning to pull the wool over my eyes!
let me feel your breath,
let me know you're here with me.

Did you notice how when your blogs are really profound, no one comments! :>
was that a profound entry?? i didn't think it was. there are others that i know even before posting that no one will comment on. it is an interesting thing - the study of humankind.
Lesley,
You're livin' on the edge. (You and Steven Tyler.)
Also: since we pronounce "colonel" as "kernel", why don't we pronounce "colonial" as "kernial"? And why are Canadians some of the only people in the world that pronounce "lieutenant" as "leftenant"? It's like the Canadian military arbitrarily reassigns letter sounds. Maybe it's a power thing. ("That L will sound like an R because I SAY it will! Now drop and give me 20!")
you're totally right. like, what's our military smoking anywayz!?!?!
congrats on your baby. i'm excited for you and rach and the girls.
we and the brits and brit carry-overs like the lang down under. it's b/c lieu means left... as in 'left in charge'. '..in lieu of..' so they say left-tenant b/c they're still fighting the norman invasion that happened like a thousand years ago. i think. but colonial/kernal still weirds me out.
hmmm, very enlightening!
