I must respectfully decline. I realized something in the shower today. Mr. Cent ("Fiddy" to his freinds) proclaims in his single "Candy Shop" that he has "never brought it like this before." I propose that he has, in fact, brought it like this before. I cite one "Magic Stick" by Li'l Kim featuring Fifty Cent. The similarities are evident in parts of both songs. I mention this not because I am adverse to Mr. Cent's vocal stylings. On the contrary, I have become quite fond of his works. They speak to humanity on a most universal level. Which one of us has not loved someone or something like a fat kid loves cake? I am merely pointing out an inconsistansy that has been bugging me since I originally heard "Candy Shop" until I had my epiphany ealry today butt naked in the shower. I am, however, concerned about Mr. Cent's use of the metaphor. I do not believe that the lollipop offered is quite as innocent as I initially believed. And I am begining to suspect that "Magic Stick" is not just a song about baseball, though I hear plans to incorporated it into the directors cut of "The Natural" are unhindered. Enough nonsense for now. I must analyze a speech given by President Johnson and the prose must flow from my finger tips like [insert profound simile]. Droppy P.S. If I were, however, invited to the "Candy Shop" by the captain, I might be inclined to overlook some sexual prerences I suppose...lol.

So I'm a textile junkie. I get to work and it begins before I'm through the door. I'm already focused on some through the glass. I see the tables and rows and stacks. Fabric! I'm not even on the clock and I've already touched three maybe more different fabrics, my subconcious in glee. The linen, crisp and textured. The slinky nylon with the retro 60's print. Fresh denim, hard and crunchy, almost like cardboard, waiting to become broken in, faded jeans. All the colors play in my eyes. Combinations newly discovered, old pairings which seem so comfortable. How is it that pink and purple seem to be made for each other? Why aren't more fabrics made in orange? That lime green stripe on a background of blues that has something pleasing about it. The sueded leather-like fabric so much like Mal's brown coat, the oriental print that screams, "Kaylee would wear this!" All I need do is walk past a chinese satin with chrysanthemums or touch a bit of flannel with snowflakes or Hello Kitty, I hit a blissful state that sits just under the surface of my oh so polite and helpful manner (Y'know, that one you save for dealing with public.) Behind all the "You want me to figure your drapery requirements without any window measurements? Sure, I can do the ridiculous", is a girl who's mind is thinking of the third row of fabric at the left of the store, where that embroidered silk is, wondering, "which color would Inara choose? What pretties could I create with that?" My little textile haven, I do enjoy thee.

so last night i had a dream the for some reason i was on the set of the Serenity movie. my boyfriend was directing - which is confusing enough - but there's more. - we were shooting a scene and the studio wanted the ship to be 'Epic' so the hallways and doors were made so stupidly huge that when this 'thing' was chasing the cast, they had to run back really far just to see what was after them. it was way too 'bruckheimer' and wasn't fitting to the series. also, i think Ice Cube was playing the part of Book. Scary. I think i may be subconsiously worried about the potential loss of integrity of the 'fly. "they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skins into their clothing. And if we're very, very lucky, they'll do it in that order."

You know the rest. The iPod idea...posting it here...that was dumb and I'm sorry. It's begging, it's pandering...that's not cool in retrospect. iPod, SchmiPod for all I care right now. So I've had the pleasure of being off work all week. Being a teacher rocks, really it does. And it rained here in NorCal all last week...rained a lot!! This week, the rain stopped...and I think we had one day where it was kinda clear. The past two days have been solid gray. I mean, we could have been snatched up by some alien ship on [u]The Outer Limits[/u] and are hurtling through the far reaches of the Verse right now and I'd never know. Real sad thing...supposed to start raining again Sunday night and not stop for a while! :disappointed:
