Have I ever mentioned that I have this thing about jack o’lanterns? I like ‘em. Not sure why, but props to Feces Flinging Monkey for lighting my way to Extreme Pumpkins. Gotta get me some of that… I think it’s that whole (vegetation) + {fire} – [legal consequences thing]. Is it bad that I like to paint certain folks’ faces on them right before I smash the little orange bastards into a mess of sparks and lumpy goo? Maybe I have anger issues.

Still not sure how I feel about knowing what my governor’s penis looks like. I’ll get back to you dear readers three when I figure it out.

Then again, I may have to wait until I recover from that moment of cross-eyed perplexity earlier this morning where I realized that I forgot to zip up my pants, button half my shirt, and couldn’t figure out if I’d used deodorant before leaving the house.

Maybe I should sleep more.

Maybe I’ll dream of cabbage roses and long-buried kings…

So my own personal Buddha and evil twin Doselle lectured me in a kind and gentle yet firm manner Saturday – it was much like being consensually spanked. (Ever notice I start a lot of posts with “so”? So what’s up with that?) In essence, he told me that I have more energy and get more done than anyone he knows, and that I’m like an old-fashioned blender with only two speeds – Off and Puree. (Note: I’ve been in Puree mode for a while now.) That was the kind and gentle part of the conversation. Doe then told me that my blender will only hold so much stuff and I gotta stop putting more stuff into it until some of the stuff already in it is all properly pureed and can be poured back out into metaphorical jello molds or all the half-pureed stuff will start leaking out the edges and splatter everywhere and make a big mess, like it is right now.

My initial conclusion? Great, one more thing to add to my to-do list – get more metaphorical jello molds.

Or breathe in and out and let go of some of the chunkier bits that I don’t really need and that don’t go all that well with the other stuff that I do like, then take a bubble bath and a nap and read a good book – not necessarily in that order.
