Drive-thru salvation
Sunday piety:
sing some hymns and leave some change.
"You want fries with that?"
Have you got it?
Oscar nominations were announced this morning. For the past five years or so, Sister and I have bet on who can correctly predict the most winners. We usually wager lunch. Sister hasn't won yet.
I'm signed up at oscars.com for their big sweepstakes (the prize sucks this year, by the way). I've created a group so that any of you who might like to enter our little contest can join in.
You want in on this? Go here sign up. If you like, you can then join my group, "The Fish's Group." It's a private group, so you'll need the password, "thefish."
A girl named Hector
With dreams in her hair
and her sleeves full of secrets
she leaves trails of stars

Sister: Step One - Get angry
Xan: Step Two - Get out one of Xan's swords
Sister: I thought about it…But then I thought that was very … 'Kill Bill' of me. And I don't think I could do Uma.
Me: I really don't want to see you "do" Uma.
It's true…
…that parents mellow a little more with each child. There is no way in hell my mother would have let me move a girlfriend into her house like she's let my 21-year old brother.

The Bunny: I wish I hadn't spent all that money this weekend.
Fish: Well, we knew that's exactly what we were going to do.
Bunny: Yeah, well, sometimes you've just gotta say "what the fuck?"
(pause)
Bunny: I just say that every day.

On Monday morning-
an old woman in black coat
shovels her sidewalk

Untitled haiku (modern)
Through the window-
a man walks by in a hoodie
and rock-star-tight jeans
