~ A mother and her little boy out for a walk on the shiny wet streets. I see them from behind, his bright blue rain boots, red-and-black knit cap, her long purple hair.
~ The little man at the table next to me in the bookstore furtive and shifty with his stack of sex addiction workbooks.
~ The guy in his truck with a tiny Christmas tree, maybe all of one foot, strapped tight to the hood, like some captive beast; the bed of the truck completely empty.
~ The use of the phrase “fully-orbed conspiracy.” I’m still not sure what it means. And I said it.
~ The joy of pure schmaltz and the beauty of men and Ireland in PS I Love You.
So, I should see P.S. I Love You, then?
The “beauty of men and Ireland” is a strong phrase to be wielding. Sounds compelling. 😉
Well, if you’re interested in the beauty of men and Ireland, Marisa, then YES. 😉
Well, it sounds like it would be a lovely distraction. I had best get myself to a theater. 🙂
I’m also kind of curious as to how thw phrase “fully-orbed conspiracy” even entered conversation. Mostly so I can start saying it. And, you know, confusing people.
It was so off-hand, I can’t even remember! I’ll have to ask My Beloved. He’ll remember. Sadly, he remembers every stupid thing I’ve ever said. You can say it’s love. Or ammunition.
Feel free to wield it at will, I say! Dr. Phil visiting Britney Spears? It’s a fully-orbed conspiracy! The ban on incandescent light bulbs? A fully-orbed conspiracy! (Haha. Stupid pun.) Celebrity Apprentice? Fully-orbed conspiracy! It’s meaningful because it’s just so opaque and stupid. It can sound like it’s very serious indeed.
And a fully-orbed conspiracy is much worse than a half-orbed one, as we all know. Much MUCH worse.
