Preying Mantis II


Another remedy for the bitter cold


Awesome Toy from the past


It had built in bunk beds, a dumbwaiter, a slide and a detachable plastic pea pod hammock. This was the cool hang out for my Fisher Price people--I don't know what I did with the bugs???

Advice column from a Dorothy Parker Fan

Today is the story about how to be a girl and to be a girl is to be crazy.  Your feelings are irrational and your physical maladies are instabile.  Your emotions are diseased and disabled.  Doctors say find solace in Pills.  So my girls, that's what was told of me.  Don't listen unless it is implicitly dire.  I am but a normal lass whom cries easy and feels deeply.  Please tread gingerly yet determindly. I love you all so dearly.  My sympathies, A

How do you spell wierd?

Weird.

wierd dream & other thoughts

As dreams go, well they fade in and out, I will try to convey my dream from last night:
I was looking out the window at my car--but my car was like some kind of weird robot space car that was too tiny for me to get in--my thoughts in looking at the car were that it must grow when I ever I get in it....Then, my car turned into a big black cat--but a weird looking cat and the cat started rubbing it's face against the window I was looking out of. Then a dog came up to the window and I started thinking that the cat really kind of looked like a dog. I started to believe that they were cousin species and then they merged into one animal.

other thoughts:
I was having a hard time sharing the world with people today. Then I realized that I could probably share the planet with these people if it weren't for cars. I feel like a child who thinks that the world revolves around them. All of these people are hindering me--I need to get moving. Just when I thought that the car thing was the problem, I realized that I didn't like the layout of the road--it made a bottleneck and wasn't very effecient for moving cars in an orderly fashion. The names of some of these companies that they adorn themselves with are all wrong--I could come up with a better name. Why is this sign here--it looks so tacky. I want to design the world. How can I do this alone--especially since I can't seem to design my own environment. It's not up to me to police the world and it takes more than one person to make things efficient and pleasing. I think what I really want is to be able to roam the country unhindered. It's the volume of people that is the problem, but then again can people be measured by volume?

I feel like Andy Rooney: I'm a child as stated in the above rant. I think it's important to keep childlike qualities as an adult, but there has to be a safe way to do it. To hold tenaciously to childhood probably makes a feeble mind when you're old. Don't daydream too much, but don't lose the wonder. I guess that will be a good maxim to follow for today.

A thousand Mary Tyler Moores throwing a thousand hats up into the Minneapolis skyscraper sky.
