rabbits, and avocados, and music, oh my. the_red_thread is real, and it's got the tensile strength of the thickest three-strand rope around.

talking about the greatness of the tragically hip song "bobcaygeon" with a loved one this morning, and then coming back from a walk to find past had written a beautiful blathe referencing that very song, reminding us there's no buffer between art and lived experience if our eyes and ears are open.

hearing the fleetwood mac song "oh_well" for the very first time and then hitting "go" and landing on a blathe where someone (my gut says it was birdmad incognito) posted some of the lyrics twenty-two years ago.

hitting "go" (again) and being brought to "granted". then clicking a second time and getting "peyton_smile_everything_is_clean_kaleidoscopic_and", which reads like a direct response to the first blathe.

remembering a random high_school conversation that ended with the word "kablam_o" more than twenty_years_ago, and then landing on that very blathe. i mean, what the hell are the chances of that?

many moons ago, in an email, i told nr about les blank's short-form documentary "werner_herzog_eats_his_shoe", in which our man werner does what the title promises as a way of making good on a (possibly apocryphal) bet he made with errol morris in an effort to encourage him to finish his film "gates of heaven". today a blathe was written with that title, and for half a second i thought, "i didn't write that. did i?" (i didn't. warmthofrelease did.) if anyone's wondering, werner_herzog only ate *most* of his shoe. he didn't eat the sole. as he explained: "one does not eat the bones of the chicken."

calling one of my squirrel friends mercurial and thinking, "that's such a great word. i probably haven't thought of it, let alone spoken it, in at least ten years. i need to keep it in my pocket." and on the same day, watching that word become a brave_new_blathe.

I just wrote about a dream with DVD sets on dream_meeting without seeing that raze blathed about this video format earlier.

This is perhaps the eeriest thing that has ever happened to me on blather. I was just at the vet's with my dog for something minor. While I was in the waiting room I had to overhear a woman saying good-bye to her dog and it was the most gut wrenching, heart breaking thing. I was crying myself by the time it was my turn. Her pain was so raw that it infused my whole body and it felt like the whole thing was happening to me. When I got home I came over here and this is what was on the home page: stupid_old_me stop_breaking_down my_dog_loves_us_too_much I am now wondering if blather is somehow sentient. I wouldn't be surprised, honestly.

I woke up from a dream in which I was invisible to everyone around me. I wandered over the blather and found this on the home page: look_right_through_me
