Less Than Squat

[rejectomorph]

We're getting a lot of visits from squirrels now. They are coming to raid the walnut tree in the back yard. Their antics provide a bit of a break in the monotony of the declining days.

I got one of the redesigned nickles in change recently. It's the first time I've seen one (this is one of the advantages of hardly ever buying anything.) I find it quite ugly. The gigantic Jefferson face on the obverse is both creepy and cheesy, the cheesiness I think arising from the fact that it reminds me of the giant floating "Zardoz" head. The reverse of the coin I got has the commemoration of Lewis and Clark's arrival at the Pacific, and that's just bland and a bit dopey. Maybe some of the other reverse designs aren't as bad. On the whole, though, I'd say this is a crappy redesign in keeping with the crappy redesigns given our paper currency in recent years. I especially dislike those giant heads they've all got on them. What the hell are those about?

Anyway.

I'm also not at all happy about the fact that I don't have squat to say these days. Where the hell has my concentration gone?

Ah, Zardoz! What a movie. "The gun. Is. Good. The penis is evil." It's such a neat time capsule of 70s pyramid power type thinking. I never wanted a flying car anyway, I always wanted the future where you group meditate at second level and bake green bread in a microwave furnace and stand in a tree with a gauze sheet over your head, humming.

those new nickels are butt-ass ugly, yes.

and my sister told me about how she and some other RAs at UCLA found a squirrel nest that fell on the ground, and the three babies were chirping like birds.

two of them died, but they got one to an animal shelter.


so the next time you're out and about, and hear birds chirping, they just might be squirrels.

the end.
