Mamamontezz's Mental Rumpus Room

Monday observations

1. I imagine that whenever Laura Bush has said "Shove it," there were no anatomical references involved.

2. Sunday's "Day by Day" is conclusive (and convulsive) proof that Chris Muir is a certifiable genus. Just arrow back to the July 25th cartoon.

3. The hormonal fluctuations of menopause can have an occasional very pleasant upside.

4. Listerine Breath Strips, Pop-rocks, and Halls cough drops can multi-task.

5. The school in my area is not on the traditional school schedule, and is instead a 12 month academy. I wouldn't have known this if I hadn't driven by the school on Friday and seen their sign. This means that instead of having until mid-August to prepare Anna for school, we have until 8am tomorrow. And I'm at work. Today and tomorrow.

6. Many of the problems in the world can be solved by a Furry Face.

7. I can't believe how very hard
Writing a sonnet has to be.
For not since nineteen seventy
have I once tried to ape the bard.
(or perhaps Bacon, such a card
as fooled the masses 'cross the sea)
From centuries past it torments me;
the sonnet serves as my petard.

Seems this is where the problem lay-
The rhyme scheme here demands a change
just when I seem to have it down.
A-B-B-A-A-B-B-A
I suddenly must re-arrange
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
