Buzzing Lightly.

I've hired a moth exclusively to patrol my room at all times.

Mr Moth is only a small moth and I had hoped he would grow bigger with time. He flies diligently and has, until recently, been able to keep MQ's (mosquitoes) out of the room. Now Mr. Moth was doing a great job, that I even began to pardon its little mistakes like flying into my forehead. Mr. Moth's success at repelling MQ's was rather admirable, until yesterday. To my sheer horror, I could not see Mr. Moth at his station. He's been missing for nearly 37 hours.

Characters from Monarchist Families represented in movies include (but not limited to) -

Princess Jasmie.

Anastasia.

Snow White (in theory and is due to variations upon the creator).

The King (and all of his family, which took up an entire palace) from "The King and I."

Aragorn (despite the fact he seems to have gone unshaven and "rogue").

Prince William.

Pat the Cat who Wears a Top Hat.

I learnt the fundamentals of rhyme and rhythm from watching Madeline in the afternoons and reading Dr. Seuss books in the evening.

Now, despite my herbivore stance - I mutter ever so often "green eggs and ham."

But that's not the point.

The point is -

The favouritism placed on Madeline throughout the entire series. Yes, the show is named after her but despite this - why? oh why is this little French girl so important. I put it down to two main things, she seems to exhibit physical and mental characteristics of a "good" yet lively child (to an extent).

Her height, being of a small stature - makes her the object of "cuteness" and therefore adorable. Now, plus this with a dualist notion of beauty - which children are subjected to as they grow (that of the anorexic model who has legs that would make a pole tremble) and wham, bam, alaka-frikken-zam - Madeline was a lie.

Bread and butter? Please, where's the fibre in that diet.

Next, her own personal characteristics. Obedient enough to be kept under control, with a touch of life and moral high ground. This is best exemplified through her keeping the dog, Genevieve.

On another note, was

"cheese and whiskers"

Meant to be a rhetorical question or just a statement.

No Kidding?

Things that are just so swank (right now) -

Words with silent letters in them. So really, the large bulk of the French language is just so swank right now.

Pancakes with coconut shreds in them. No sugar needed. All coconut.

Post-It Notes. The yellow variety, none of this new age other colour bs.

Velcro. Lots and lots of velcro for a good rip, now and then.

Corks in bottles. Lids? Who needs them.

Any hand gesture that doe snot involve the thumbs. Yes, they make us more hand-superior to the mere mammals - who can't tie shoelaces - but let's be considerate and not show off.



Things that are so not swank (right now) -

Three-ply toilet paper. Why the hell do you need more than two-ply. In fact, three-ply any tissue is silly.

Wet concrete. It looses its appeal wet.

Anyone who does not appreciate the different between a blink and a wink.

Terra Nullius. (It was never swank to begin with.)

Acidity? No Way.

Things I see everyday: crumpled pillows, brown paper bags, fluffy towels, tired feet, a reflection flashing past patient mirrors, polished floorboards, dimlit hallway and a calm computer screen.

Limp Like a Fence.

What I have to say right now: muffintops with a side dish of uncertainty, fleecy jumpers create lint, rainy day happiness and summer time blues, butterfly gun positions and isolated co-operation.

Q. What Is the most difficult riddle in your mind?

A. A rhetorical question.

What I noticed (today).

Trains have a lulling effect. The good ones rock back and forth and the screechy noises give it a genuine feel.

It is okay to wear sunglasses even though there is no sun out. They are a accessary. One does not take a ring on and off in buildings.

Holding a door open for a complete strangers makes them smile. Smiling at a complete stranger confuses them.

Slippery concrete is best handled, not with a pressing heel, but a careful tip-toe.

Never underestimate humidity. It has no drying effects.

Forcing a smile means you have good intentions (kind of).

Hello Teapot, What's A Brewing?

I can see your spout a'shewing (as they spell it in Emma, thank you English Staffroom.)

Do you steam to let me know, (Because I can not Google it.)

That outside it's really hot (Record temperatures, bubble bath time.)

And geographically, this area has no snow? (The road's are cement you see.)

Or do you whistle playfully, (How come you can not dance?)

To infrom me how painfully, (Shall I pour some aloe vera gel...)

Your insides are burning? (Does it Hurt?)


Hello Teapot, what's a knowing?

I can see your handle glowing.
