this reminds me of
"You want fireworks?! I'll show you fireworks!!!...Pow!...Ping!...Pa-ping!!!"

pet peeve
When people act like they have no knowledge about something you're talking about - but really they do.
men in turtlenecks
so college
(no, this song wasn't around when I went to college 100 years ago - but somehow it still reminds me of my own experience - I guess some things are pretty universal)
remember Cappio coffee drink?
so cool these ads were when they first came out - it was the world I wanted to live in at the time, Daddy-O

"Art is fundamentally a survival device of the species. Otherwise it wouldn’t be so persistent. It wouldn’t be in every culture. We wouldn’t know about it…
How does art help you survive? It helps us survive by making us attentive. In a simplistic way, when you go past a forest and you look at it and you say, “that looks just like Cézanne.” And you realize Cézanne has made you see the reality of the forest in a way that you never could have seen before. He’s made you attentive. Every work of art that you care about makes us attentive. And if it doesn’t do that it ain’t art."
So agree! I like to look at Eyvind Earle's work for precisely such reason at this time of year -
it trains my eye and enhances my appreciation of our own yard:

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us — don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
a reason to secretly relish this time of year around here, with ponds and bogs all frozen:
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us — don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
