everyone told corduroy licorice that it'd be tough to fill his father's shoes, but corduroy found it quite easy. with just one big bowl of oatmeal and a serving spoon, corduroy was sloppin' sneaker to dress shoe fuller than heck.

i heard a radio ad for a car dealership recently that cracked me up by accident. the somber-toned male voiceover was bragging about the outstanding customer service of the place and then closed by saying, "at so-and-so lexus, we treat you as if you mattered."

heheheh. now 100% irony free!

my lovely new music discovery:

the quiet-as-a-church-mouse female singer/songwriter stylings of rosie thomas. you can check out song samples at that link. she also has her own site. i lurve the simple, sweet cover art and the simple, sweet sounds inside. my favorite song is "wedding day." listening to it is like driving along on an empty country road in a vintage ford with the afternoon sun warming your arm on a cranked-down window.

here are lyrics from "wedding day":

so much for love i guess
we been wronged but it's alright
cuz i'm moving on
i've got my car all packed
with cassette tapes and sweaters
and loose change and cheap cigarettes
i'm gonna stop at every truck stop
and make small talk with the waiters and truck driving men
i'm gonna fall asleep in the back seat
with no one around but me and my friends
it's gonna be so great
it's gonna be like my wedding day
yea i've had enough of love
it's been good to give up so good to be good to myself
i'm gonna get on the highway with no destination
i'm gonna drive to the ocean
go skinny dippin' blow kisses to venus and mars
i'm gonna stop at every bar
and flirt with the cowboys in front of their girlfriends
so much for love i guess
i've been wronged but it's alright
cuz i'm moving on
i'm gonna drive over hills over mountains
and canyons and boys that keep bringing me down
i'm gonna drive under skyline and sunshine
drink good wine at vineyards
and get asked to dance
i'm gonna be carefree and let nothing pass me by
never ever again

ain't she grand? puts a girl like me in mind of a road trip.
