for the past week i’ve had the words ‘chimera phone’ in my head. i think a chimera phone would be an awesome thing to have, but probably not as useful as a camera phone. although really, i don’t use my camera phone very often. it only seems to come to into play when we’re all blitzed. and the next day? the blurry pictures don’t even make sense. still, i guess it’s still better to have a camera phone… in case you’re at a fancy party in a mansion and you accidentally open the door to the study while you’re looking for the bathroom and you notice a stack of secret Nazi missile plans. a chimera phone wouldn’t come in handy in that situation, would it? it would play out all, *gasp* “Nazi secrets! i should document this somehow!” and you’d pull out your trusty chimera phone and… what? it bites you?
and while you’re cursing and shaking your bitten hand you’re thinking, “damn, should’ve opted for the camera phone.”

have any of you ever heard of Dar Williams? she’s a singer-songwriter. i’m enjoying “When I Was a Boy” right now. it’s so cool. and it makes me cry a little.

speaking of singah-songwriters, we watched an Ani DVD last night (well, we sorta watched it. it was on the tube, but Ben was being so cute and toddler-y (i mean, just watching him walk around is fun.) so while Ani sang angsty songs we laughed with Ben.

on the Ani note: i often wonder why her song “Gravel” seems to be the concert “anthem.” i asked laura about it, and she didn’t know why either. we both admit that it’s a good song and all, but why is it the song where the crowd loses it’s shit? those angry lesbians LOVE that song. maybe i’m missing something? the lyrics seem to say, “hey, you’re a two-timing asshole. but i guess i’ll use you as a ride to california.” it’s just, there are so many great Ani songs out there that “Gravel” seems like a weird choice to be so shit-losingly popular.
