Well done on having the mole removed. As my birth mark is only seen by invitation I never bothered to have it removed but I should’ve.
Do you watch East enders? Phil is forbidding his son to dance which is a tragedy. I’ve always maintained that you have to have real machismo to wear pink tights with pride and don’t find anything pansy – ish about real male ballet dancers – regardless of their proclivities.
Thanks for TROPE. New to me.

Hmm. meteor. Rough luck, that.

I do my best writing when I can’t remember it. This is lovely stuff.

Nanas, as a matter of fact my mole was called Michael!

Rand, we felt it. It lasted about 10 seconds and was very peculiar. The lights were swaying and the cat was well freaked.

Kara, no, the essay question this week is on the next post all about avant-garde theeyatre.

Fmc, do you mean the WTFittyF? part? That was sorta fitting.

Eryl, I think I should have kept this one to myself. I knew I’d rue it in the morning.

Bock, yes, it was the very fellow!

SafeT, no this post would have benefitted from not being written at all. The tragedy is that Michael was really a rather good dancer. In time he could have been great, if not for his rotten luck with the meteor.

When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why
Wonder, I am green and it’ll do fine, it’s beautiful
And I think it’s what I want to be

I like the story, so don’t go second guessing yourself. Well, the meteor was a bit of a shock, but it was probably just as much so to his parents.
I do wonder who he studied under or if he was completely self-taught and, well, was he really that good or were his parents too ignorant to see how amateurish the fellow was?

That Kalashnikov guy was great. Didn’t he joing the Mamas and the Papas and end up murdering Charlie Manson?

My best stories come when I’m either half asleep or pie-eyed, but it’s usually best not to share them until my sober self has looked them over. I think they do lose something in the polishing, though that’s probably a good thing.

I craved ice-cream when I was pregnant, I wonder if Bob will turn up with a van one day, having my own personal Mr Whippy, mmm…

Eep, I had one sliced out last year too, not very nice, poor darling. And I LIKED the ending, it was flitting, I mean fitting.

i like that he was hit by a meteor. i’d like to think it was a metaphor. maybe for something like…pressure. societal pressure. yes, that’s it. i’ll turn in my essay examining this in the morning.

As for your response to my prior comment: We all have our fantasy life, dear.

Cheers.

I trust you’re OK with the quake. I worry about you California people, damn it.

Cheers.
