Tonight’s victims: a china bowl, a loaf bread and an overripe avocado.

inside out jim jams with a spoon under your pillow
Sometimes the old magic is strongest. Last night, the girls turned their jim jams* inside out and slept with spoons under their pillows. This primitive appeal to the snow spirits was heard, and this morning, Fulton county schools have canceled classes for the day giving the girls their second ever no-school-snow-day. Not only that, but the ice cream factory has canceled all meetings and made office hours optional today, so I will be working from home.
*We had some British next door neighbors for a while when Finn and Fallie were younger, and a few of their expressions stuck. Jim jams can also refer to the D.T.’s, so it also has that going for it. Also, most of the kids in our neighborhood still refer to bicycle training wheels as “stabilizers.”
obscure offering or cryptic threat
Sometime last night this strange bundle of duct tape bound wood was deposited before our front door. All day, I have anticipated a friendly message claiming credit for this gift, but it is early evening now and its origin and meaning have yet to be revealed.
I Wonder Why the Wonderfalls - Andy Partridge
We teeter along on our tightrope
Some of us trip and damage our heads
Poppin’ pills is really stupefying
Get you crawling when you could be flying
All my life I guess I’ll be dying
Just to know…
I love this show; the opening episode grabbed me with this Andy Partridge theme song and the damaged Mold-A-Rama lion that reminded me of days at the Jacksonville Zoo with my Grandfather. The animal Muses that push and pull Jaye, giving orders without explanation, are an amusing depiction of the forces that pinball through our lives. I would love to see the darker second season with Jaye in the asylum, no longer struggling to defy the voices.

No single article of clothing is as versatile as the gorilla suit. You can wear a gorilla suit to an embassy party, to a jewel heist, to a high-speed car chase, and then practice your slamdunks in it, all in a single evening. Without a well-constructed, well-tailored, and suitably altered gorilla suit (do you need boot-cut legs to go over your ski bindings?) your closet is sadly lacking.
