"dear darkening ground,"

- Rilke

A blond, a brunette, and a redhead were running from the police. The police, being excellent at hot pursuit, were catching up to them. So the blond, the brunette, and the redhead needed a place to hide. They come upon three gunny sacks, and climb inside. The police come along to the sacks, and decide to find out what's in them. So they kick the first sack, and the brunette says, "Woof!" "Some dog," the police say, and kick the next sack. The redhead says, "Miao," and the police say "Some cat." So the police kick the third sack, and the blond says, "Potatoes potatoes potatoes!"

Yesterday was a fun day. I went to church, and then had lunch with the sunday school, which was fun. And then I came back and took a nap (also fun, and warm for once - I'm freezing all the time these days), and then watched some Poirot with Mom, and then got a call from the sunday school again. So I went to hang out with them and watch Casablanca and funny youtube movies (Chad Vader is pretty amazing. . . . and I finally saw the numa numa video too). Casablanca was a good movie. Also, I found it fun that the guys were secure enough to express their enjoyment of the movie (and actually? it was like the third time some of them had seen it. In a row).
