Raindrops on roses
I'm not sure if it's an aesthetic or stylistic preference that makes me not want to follow a photo post with a photo post. Actually, the distinction is inconsequential and I just made myself tired. All I'm saying is, this is a brief intermission before I post fun pictures from Vermont.
These are some of the things making me smile this week:
1) The weather is sweet as saltwater taffy (obviously not the gross flavors like BubbleGum or Ham.) In Boston, I think people make conversational careers out of complaining about the weather. Now that it's nice outside, they talk about how bad weather is right around the corner. I don't think people know what to do with gorgeous sunshine and mild temperatures, it deflates their gripe balloon. Myself, I shall bask.
2) The hip hop project High and Mighty has a dirty song about ah, touching your naughty bits. The song is kind of funny but my favorite part is in the chorus. Notoriously batshit rapper Kool Keith says:
"The raw ingredients, with hands on experience,
with Nissan trucks, worth a hundred thousand bucks."
That is just so outrageous and weird. Why Nissan, Keith? Do they make a $100k model? Is that the ultimate in luxury? And what does it have to do with masturbation? I grin from ear to ear every time I hear it on the old 'I Pod.' I bet I look like a sex criminal.
3) On the flip side, powerfully sad lyrics make me feel happy as well. These words from the Magnetic Fields 100,000 Fireflies always make me feel good in an achy wistful way:
"You won't be happy with me,
But give me one more chance.
You won't be happy anyway."
4) This girl.
5) I'm the last to know about a lot of things and this Borat guy is no exception. A character from the Ali G show, I've been spending far too much time at work watching his antics on YouTube. Here is a short funny clip. Borat, a culturally impaired Eastern European, is talking with an actual 'dating specialist.' He is asking if he can impress women with his favorite joke.
She tells him he probably should not tell his joke on a date.

5) If you haven't already, check out the clip of Borat tagging along on a political hopeful's door to door campaign -- "If you do not vote for him, he will crush you like Stalin." (or something to that effect)

Unfortunately, I have a feeling the movie is gonna suck.
plymouth dusters are the BEST.
i read the title of this post and instead of thinking of rodgers and hammerstein..i thought of 'rainbow connection' and in my 'sentimental' state that i happen to be in right now, i teared up, but only a little.
now i have to go home and watch the muppet movie.
why are their so many songs about rainbows?
BORAT! I learned about him last weekend - have you watched his 2001 Conan appearance? I haven't laughed that hard at such inappropriate topics in years.
Or when he gets a country bar in Tuscon to sing "throw the Jew down the well" because people do not like Jews.
Especially not at that bar.
I completely agree on the parallel. That girl seems really great – and very pretty. (-:
elliott- yessir, I have seen that clip. I love when Barat tells some local the candidate has never been with another man, then looks at the candidate and says 'Is true, yes?'
sue- good eye.
april- yikes, good thing your sentimentality isn't hormone-related.
tori- you are a good laugher.
josh- Sasha Baron Cohen, trueblue Jew. I wonder how he felt inside when those hillbillies got so excited about his song.
carmen- who? what? (Jesse plays it cool.)
