Tiger got to hunt,
Bird got to fly;
Man got to sit and wonder, 'Why, why, why?'
Tiger got to sleep,
Bird got to land,
Man got to tell himself he understand. |

God made mud,
God got lonesome,
So God said to some of the mud, "Sit up!",
"See all I've made," said God, "the hills, the sea, the sky, the stars."
And I was some of the mud that got to sit up and look around.
Lucky me, lucky mud.
I, mud, sat up and saw what a nice job God had done.
Nice going, God!
Nobody but You could have done it, God! I certainly couldn't have.
I feel very unimportant compared to You.
The only way that I can feel the least bit important is to think
of all the mud that didn't even get to sit up and look around.
I got so much, and most mud got so little.
Thank you for the honour!
Now mud lies down again and goes to sleep.
What memories for mud to have!
What interesting other kinds of sitting-up mud I met!
I loved everything I saw!
Good night.
I will go to heaven now.
I can hardly wait ...
To find out for certain what my wampeter was ...
And who was in my karass ...
And all the good things our karass did for you.
Amen. |

i wanted all things to seem to make some sense,
so we could all be happy, yes, instead of tense.
and i made up lies, so they all fit nice,
and i made this sad world a paradise.
convert!
a sampling:
The First Book of Bokonon
Apearing on the title page: "Don't be a fool! Close this book at once! It is nothing but foma!"
The book commences:
All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies.
In the beginning, God created earth, and he looked upon it in His cosmic loneliness.
And God said, "Let Us make living creatures out of mud, so the mud can see what We have done." And God created every living creature that now moveth, and one was man. Mud as man alone could speak. God leaned close as mud as man sat up, looked around, and spoke. Man blinked. "What is the purpose of all this?" he asked politely.
"Everything must have a purpose?" asked God.
"Certainly," said man.
"Then I leave it to you to think of one for all this," said God. And He went away.
Bokonon says of his first book: "Of course it's trash!" |

i am not spending enough time working on my hair these days, so it's starting to look tacky. actually, i think it's mostly looked tacky since i got it, since i only ever took proper care of it about once a week. i'm used to looking tacky, though, so it's all okay.
but you know what this means.
new cut. probably next week.
*bzzz of razor*
also, unrelatedly, you all need to go read some kurt vonnegut jr. lord almighty. the man writes "hitchhiker's guides" for politics students. i have become a bokonist, i swear. i died laughing and awoke a converted woman. i'm actually going to start living by the creed, i think. this is good news for you foot fetishists. remind me to get a pedicure.
start with reading "cat's cradle," since that's the only one i've read in its entirety and am qualified to gush over. read it soon. reality for pessimists, clothed in enough laughter to make you actually want to cry over it. weird feeling, but that's what happens. |

the most delicious cake in the world contains an ingredient which will, over time, inflict significant and irreparable damage on my body.
i am not going to tell you what it is. but it is cake and it can kill you, so i am going to call it kill-you cake.
to partake?
to ration?
to abstain? |

i am going to make t-shirts with iron-on transfers of bizarre little black-inked characters like the one pictured. the creatures make me laugh happily. i am going to do this because i am supposed to be studying for several exams, so what else could i possibly be doing? |
