Assuming that I don't take whimsicality to a completely warped dimension, I do want to share some random things that I have either thought or encountered over the past several days.
A) Two squirrels trying to make it. The guy, overeager as usual, tries to pin the girl down and bounced on her rather enthusiastically. She fought him off and starts scampering around with him hot on her tail. When will guys know that "no" means "no"??
B) A member of my bible study group brought her two kids to join us today. Normally I'm the Scrooge's twin sister about things, but I have a soft spot for kids. Not today. I looked at those two little blond vermins suspiciously, trying to see past their innocent little angelic faces to the brattiness that lie within. I didn't find them very cute at all. Yeesh...kids...what a bundle of annoyance sometimes. The one boy won't stop whining. I thought back to my recent conversation about spanking kids as a form of discipline. That kid was definitely spank-worthy.
C) I researched how much in the hole I will be post four years of medical school. I don't know, I am usually traipsing around in my own little world and sometimes I admit that I spend money very casually. Anyhow, I realize I need to start getting more serious about budgeting. Money isn't going to spout from my wishful thinking after all.
D) Rewatched Howl's Moving Castle. It's a film that deserves its own posting and not just a bullet point among many. However I do want to quickly say that I enjoyed it immensely the second time I watched it. For what it's worth, in all its glorious idealizations of love and cheesy valor, it's a film that celebrates true beauty, true courage, true camaraderie and sometimes, a little magic can go a long way.
E) I love the word "wicked." I'm going to start peppering my speech with that word. It's just wicked good fun.

So are you going to be a British rock star/teenage skate-snow boarder now?
PS. My cat has killed 4 squirrels now. He killed them mercilessly. What a good cat.
your cat is wicked.
He sure is. You would think the squirrels would have learned after the first 2 were slain but no. They chose their own demise.
i love that movie - Howl's Moving Castle - even though its imperfection is easy to notice. do write a blog on it!
