Silly Putty

i'd like to take a moment and pay homage to my friend ... the silly putty. yesterday, i discovered (again) the joy of silly putty and i'd forgotten how fantastic this stuff really is. i've been throwing it against walls ... sticking it to random pieces of paper to pick up the print (how is that NOT fun?) ... creating animals that will never been seen in nature ... and just using it as an overall stress reliever. it's like those stress balls ... but squishy. thanks, silly putty. for everything.

Bridge

so, the old jamestown bridge was blown up last week. that's quite a bit of news for rhody ... and i finally found a video of it, so i had to post. the old jamestown bridge was probably the scariest bridge ... ever. if you didn't have a fear of bridges (or heights) before driving over the old jamestown bridge, then you certainly did afterwards. it was two lanes, undivided and had steal grates at the highest point of the bridge, so you could look down and see the water. oh, yeah, and it swayed in high winds. swayed!

on a side note ... my mom mentioned to me (i couldn't find a news story about it, but i didn't look too hard) that the demo and clean-up crews didn't account for how far the falling steal beams would be driven into the mud of the narragansett bay ... so they are experiencing "difficulties".

Lyrics (2)

i really enjoyed writing my last lyrics entry ... so, i've decided to post a sequel. i noticed that the previous entry didn't include any songs from female artists. some of the guys i know might say that the reason for this is because female singers "suck" ... and, although a convincing argument, i disagree. so without further ado, a sampling of my some of my favorite songs by female artists:

i grieve in my condition, for i cannot find the strength to say I need you so - i love you, sarah mclachlan

i tell you there’s peices of me you’ve never seen, maybe she’s just pieces of me you’ve never seen - tear in your hand, tori amos

cause someday you’re going to get hungry, and eat most of the words you just said - 32 flavors, ani difranco

push the door, i'm home at last and i'm soaking through and through, then you handed me a towel and all i see is you - thank you, dido

not in contact, not a letter, such communication, telepathic, you've been vilified, used as fodder - this grudge, alanis morissette

leave your things behind cause it's all going off without you - let go, frou frou

and i want to wake up with the rain, falling on a tin roof - come away with me, norah jones

i will show you, you're so much better than you know - by your side, sade

i realize they are girly ... but, i am a girl. so, deal with it.
