Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 23, 2010

Thanks to Petey, Alice can face the world again!

Alice is a trip and a half.

That’s about the attention span of a 4 year old, Petey. Alice, you gotta take the time to smell the roses.

Thats my attention span!

Just like my five-year-old. Not happy with any activity – death defiance MUST play a significant role.

It got her out of his room!

Petey begins his life as the great manipulator.

Soon enters the big red truck, with the pretty blue Stars of Life on the sides, and the cool flashing lights?

She doesn’t even know what nuances are but they must be bleh!

my new word for the day “nuances”

It takes a hyper-nuance to cure boredom.

I’m going to take the other half of my 2-day shoe-making class today (9-11th Century turned leather shoes). I embroidered my first upper last night and definately won’t be bored today as I put it together.

I LOVE the way this brother aand sister interact (or fail to).

Contemplate the slightly different scrapes you have on each knee. Experience the minute levels of pain you feel in from one second to the next. Notice how one tooth wobbles just slightly more than the other.

vldazzle, I’d love to see a picture of those shoes.

First of all, I don’t believe that boredom can cause one’s head to pop off. I’ve been dangerously bored many a time and it’s never once happened. I do recall my head bobbling around abit, but that was it.

Ahhh, to see the world in a grain of sand. Crank up “The Inner Light” (the B-side of the “Lady Madonna” single):

Without going out of my door I can know all things on earth Without looking out of my window I could know the ways of heaven

“O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space – were it not that I have a little sister.”

At least this time he didn’t call her “brother-bothering baloney brains.”

I’ve sat and three years worth of Cul De Sac in three days. Best three days ever!

Alos, Mr. Thompson, is Petey’s character semi-autobiographical?

Petey is trying to get Alice either in trouble or killed.
