†HAMLET†
†
SHAKESPEARE
†
†Ophelia†
There is a willow grows
ascaunt the brook,
That shows his hoar
leaves in the glassy stream.
Therewith fantastic garlands
did she make
Of crow-flowers, nettles,
daisies, and long purples,
That liberal shepherds give
a grosser name,
But our cold maids
do dead men's fingers call them.
There on the pendant
boughs her crownet weeds
Clamb'ring to hang,
an envious sliver broke,
When down her weedy
trophies and herself
Fell in the weeping brook.
Her clothes spread wide,
And mermaid-like
a while they bore her up;
Which time she chanted
snatches of old lauds,
As one incapable
of her own distress,
Or like a creature native
and indued unto that element.
But long it could not be
Till that her garments,
heavy with their drink,
Pulled the poor wretch
from her melodious lay
To muddy death.

...but doesn't the thought of a Dr. turning down a l patient who is willing to endure heinous operations and treatments, who wants and needs to try everything possible to cling to life, cheat death and beats the odds disturbing?
I don't think it is just me Dr. Liggo.

Midway on a coke run at work today I stopped for a bathroom break. Not having any pockets I placed the quarters in my bra and well, you know...
Anyway, after the fact, I flushed, stood up and the aforementioned quarters fell out, one onto the floor the other - you guessed it, down the toilet liek the tidy bowl man.
All my coworker wanted to know was why I didn't think of putting them in my shoe...

You Are a Visionary Soul |

You are a curious person, always in a state of awareness. Connected to all things spiritual, you are very connect to your soul. You are wise and bright: able to reason and be reasonable. Occasionally, you get quite depressed and have dark feelings.
You have great vision and can be very insightful. In fact, you are often profound in a way that surprises yourself. Visionary souls like you can be the best type of friend. You are intuitive, understanding, sympathetic, and a good healer.
Souls you are most compatible with: Old Soul and Peacemaker Soul

OMG, like I am so glad I found this quiz. Now, I can stop searching for enlightenment.

Alas - I knew you all well...
Okay, maybe not so well.
I just weeded through mu ancient t-friends list. Most of you have left or are just not posting anymore... It saddens me.
Funny thing though, what's left of my list resembles those first added. (hugs guys)

What will this new year bring? Will my meds hold out? Is there a new job in my future? A new cat? Many quilts?
What about the rest of the world? What natural disaster will rock us to our core? Which world leaders will let us down? Continue to let us down? Who will inspire us? Is there anyone left to? Has the US finally crossed the literal and figurative line in the sand? Will faith fail us? Transform us?
I wonder...

Bush
- Lied about WMD's - please spare us the bad intelligence bit - it makes him look worse.
- Has a plan or a vision where none of his competitor's seem to. Okay, so it's a bizarre, delusional, religiously fueled vision - but it is his, and he is sticking with it.
- Can't shake my impending feelings of doom...
Cheney
- More personable than he's given credit for.
- Part of an organic, flesh-consuming, soul-snuffing, military/corporate/indust rial complex that C. Wright Mills never, not even in his wildest imagination, could have dreamed up.
- getting a little color these days
Donald Rumsfeld
Condoleeza Rice
- ...and they gave Albright hell?
Balls - of the Inaugural Variety
- The magnitude and number are in poor taste considering current events.

This past week I brought home a new coffe table. Skitty and Muggles studied the latest intruder to the house in their own ways. The Mug stood back pretending to be indifferent while at the same time giving off an air of incredulity that I would dare bring another piece of furniture into her playroom.
Skitty on the other hand immediately leapt at the chance to investigate. She wedged her bread-box like body between the bottom shelve and top glass of the table. I noticed she kept pushing at the top of the glass with her fuzzy little face. After a few moments of this pushing she jumped down and then atop the table, but only on the ledge, as I watched I noticed her only circling the top - bless her, she hasn't quite figured out the concept of glass yet.
I found the whole episode endearing, Muggles I fear has once again found reason to doubt the mental abilities of her peer...

I checked out a new fabric store today.
It was down an old dirt road, headed east out of town. For those of you who don't know, when you head east out of my town, you are pretty much headed to a different world - and you started out in Fundy town...
Anyway, as my buddy and I pulled up to the joint, we looked at each other and I said, if LEATHERFACE were to ever jump out of a building wielding a chainsaw, he would choose this building... Little did I know what lie ahead...
We're talking doll parts, decaying toys and banjos folks - it was cray-zeeee.
Craziest bit of all? The fabrics were fabulous! I have at least a dozen ideas for quilts now.

So my mom's boss told her she would have to come up to par on the computer and, I quote, "stop sitting in her office being, fat, stupid and happy." This is the same guy that told her to let the 22 year old do the marketing to the different offices because, "sex sells."
A'ight, my mother is about 5'10, weighs about a buck and a quarter and is gorgeous - computer genius no - but she gets her job done with or without it - and they hired her knowing she didn't have computer skills... Grrrrr...
Meanwhile, this man, this lawyer, this ASSHAT of the highest order is probably goi ng to cost her the job. Frankly, I think he is trying to goad her into quitting. I told her as much and said, "whatever you do - stick with it until they let you go - get your unemployment!!!!"
For what it's worth, that karma is a bitch, and he's probably racking up several lives as a sewage worker or prison proctologist.

I try to get out, but they just keep pulling me back in!!!!!
Holy god.
2 models, a popstar, a rap artist, a couple of actors and a female wrestler - oh, and one is a midget, or a little person or, oh to hell with it, MINI-ME is on the show - and he is the diva!
What's better than Charo calling Brigitte Nielsen a whore? MINI-ME coming on to Chris "Peter Brady" Knight, then getting naked and peeing in a corner - that's what.
The whole thing is so fucked up and in so many ways.
For those who care, the cast:
Chris Knight
Jane Wiedlin
Da Brat
Chyna
Verne Troyer
Adrianne Curry

Not many of my friends know about my blog.
Why I ask myself.
I am not ashamed of it - in fact, I am rather proud of my little corner of the net.
It's just that, well, if I wanted them to know everything that crosses my mind I would tell them to their faces - this is a great little way to vent without having to explain myself later. Who wants to have to explain themselves to their friends anyway?
I mean - let's face it - we all censor ourselves in some ways depending on who we are talking to - here, I don't have to worry about that...
Besides, I can be such an ass - all hell would break loose if my buddies read this all the time!
Melissa - you don't count.l

We lost a customer this week at work.
He, uhm, was a character to say the least. You saw him walk in and you couldn't help but smile a knowing little smile. He was always wound up about something or someone, but he was always kind to me, he always spoke to me, spoke his mind, shared his enmity towards the system...
I got a kick out of him. He knew my name without looking at the placard on my desk, remembered all our conversations - even guessed I was a virgo - he had a knack for that sort of thing.
Just found out that two weeks ago he blew his brains out with a gun. He was the sort that you knew he was capable of it - but you thought he would live forever anyway.
Larry, man, it didn't have to be this way.

RULES CATS LIVE BY
Demand Attention. You may have to lie on someone's head while they sleep or plant your body in front of the television while they watch, but don't rest until you get all you're entitled to.
Speech is Overrated. You don't have to talk to be the most adorable and lovable one in the house.
Put Up With Your Parents. So they make you wear Rhinestones - - - it's not the end of the world. Besides, they are the ones who feed you.
Use Your Senses. Smell, taste, and touch everything, be it an old shoe or a speck of dirt. Even the smallest item is worthy of your attention.
Practice Good Hygiene. If you're dirty, do what you must, where you must, when you must. It doesn't matter who's watching.
Stand Up For Yourself If someone bothers you, get your back up and show a little claw. You're too cute to be yelled at.
There's No Such Thing As Too Much Groveling. Don't be afraid to cuddle, purr, and nuzzle shamelessly to get your way.
Simplify, Simplify, Simplify. All that's really required is that you eat, sleep, love and be loved, and well - - - do your business.
RULES OF ETIQUETTE FOR INEXPERIENCED CATS
*Determine quickly which guest hates cats. Sit on that lap. If you can arrange to have cat food on your breath so much the better. for guests who say, "I love kitties," be ready with aloof disdain.
*Always accompany guests to the bathroom. It is not necessary to do anything. Just sit and stare.
*Do not allow closed doors in any room. When you have ordered an outside door opened, stand half in and half out and think about several things. This is particularly important during very cold weather or mosquito season.
*If one person is busy and another idle, sit with the busy one. For book readers, get in close under the chin unless you can lie across the book itself. For people doing paperwork, sit on the paper being worked on. After being removed for the second time, push anything movable off the table - - - pens, pencils, etc. - - - one at a time.
*Get enough sleep during the daytime so that you are fresh for playing between 2 and 4 a.m.
NOTES FROM AN EXPERIENCED CAT
* I will not puff my entire body to twice its size for no reason after my human has watched a horror movie. * I will not stand on the bathroom counter, stare down the hall, and growl at NOTHING after my human has watched the X-Files.
* I will not eat large numbers of assorted bugs and them puke them up so my human can see that I'm getting plenty of roughage.
* I will not drag dirty socks onto the bed at night and then yell at the top of my lungs so that my humans can admire my "kill." * I will not perch on my human's chest in the middle of the night and stare until they wake up. * I will not play Herd of Thundering Wildebeests Stampeding Across the Plains of the Serengeti over my human's bed while they are sleeping.
* Screaming at a can of tuna will not make it open itself.
* Staring into the fireplace will not make the flames and heat appear. * If I stick my paw into a container to see if there is anything in it, I will not hiss and scratch when my human has to shave me to get the rubber cement out of my fur.
* If I bite the cactus it will bite back. * It is not a good idea to lap up the powdered creamer before it dissolves in hot coffee. * When it rains, it will be raining on all sides of the house. It is not necessary to check every door.
* I will not play, "dead cat on the stairs," when my humans are going up or down, or else one of these days it will really come true. * When my human is typing at the computer her forearms are not a hammock. * Computer and TV screens do not exist to backlight my lovely tail.
* I will not walk on the key board when my human is writing important adagfsg gdjag ;ln.
* I will not be miffed at my human all day and then kiss her on the nose at am. to tell her she is forgiven and can now pet me.
* If I must claw my human I will l not do it in such a way that the scars resemble a botched suicide attempt.
* If I must give a present to my human guests, my toy mouse is much more socially acceptable than a big live bug, even if it isn't as tasty.
* A warm pepperoni pizza is not a good place for naps.

I know that everything is relative, but it is quite difficult for me to muster any empathy for someone with a tenth of the debt that I have while making roughly 4 times as much money a year.
End of message.
