do you remember in the old bugs bunny cartoons when he’d hold up flash cards with pictograms of “crazy” analogies? like a screw and a baseball for screwball or a pot with a crack in it for crackpot? it took me a long time to get the bat beside the bell tower reference as a kid. i think i must have asked my mom finally because just how often does a five or six year old know what the hell a belfrey is?
a long, lost co-worker just stopped by my desk for a chat and the first thing he said when i turned around to talk to him was “wow, you’re looking good!” yay for unexpected compliments! i’m so glad i put mascara on today to go with my new sexy shirt.
