irritating clichés...

one of those phrases that just gets under my skin is oft heard out of a weathercaster's mouth: "not a cloud in the sky" - that's supposed to be a good thing?!? sounds pretty fucking boring to me.

"not a cloud in the sky" - just one color, usually blue. i'll take some clouds, thanks...yeah yeah yeah, i know - clouds bring rain, yatta yatta yatta, but hey, a little variety every once in a while is a good thing...



think i may have weirded mom out a bit on our trip to costco this afternoon - i was just busy cloudwatching...okay, she has a right to get a bit freaky when i start gazing upward and just staring off into space, since usually that means i'll be convulsing at any given moment, but today i was just watching clouds as they passed by us and we passed by them...

some of the things i saw in the clouds this afternoon:

a mother cradling a child (everyone together now - awwwww...)

a warthog

a backwards question mark

a musical note - hell, i forget what it's called...
(aha - google sends me to a page that reaveals to me that it's a sixteenth note!)

a rubber ducky

Massachusetts

and finally, what has to be the weirdest and most unexpected vision:
joe kernan's eyebrows

(damn, i wish i'd had my camera with me then - you'd see 'em too!! the governor of indiana's damned eyebrows were in the clouds!!!)
