i want an adult pacifier too!

we here at loveandcyanide love the surreal. not necessarily in the dali melting-clocks fashion, but in a more subtle way, as when unexpected and illogical things get peppered into your basic daily routine. like the minstrel showing up on our doorstep while we were unpacking groceries. i daresay this love stems from the fact that we always played house with stuffed animals instead of dolls when we were children. (to think that mattel - whoever - spent all that money making cabbage patch kids that looked just like us! when there were kids out there imaginative enough to go balls out and play mother to a stuffed tiger or monkey).

so imagine my delight when i looked out the window earlier and saw a blizzard! in april. i'm in here securing the provisions i need for Operation: Summer Wardrobe and its snowing outside. so fantastic. i'd love to see how all those premature flipflop wearers are coping this afternoon. the weird greenish ghostbuster sky (does everyone think of the ghostbusters movies when the sky is a strange color, or is it just us??) should have been an indicator of bizarre weather, but it was still a thrilling surprise to see such nonsense occurring outside my window.

and as the snow brings visions of cold and ice, we’d like to say a big YAY to the rangers for winning an important game last night. of course we didn’t watch it (although i almost accidentally purchased a different hockey match from our "whatever you do don't order any" pay-per-view service) but our father dutifully gave us the update after it was over. he was rewarded with the most entertaining text message he'll probably ever receive. unfortunately we must refrain from posting it here, as we wouldn't want it to inflame anyone.

and in the most entertaining news we'll probably read all week, rumour has it that mr. tom cruise had an 'adult pacifier' specially crafted for his baby-momma katie holmes, to ensure her screams will be silenced while giving birth, thereby adhering to one of the laws of scientology. as sick as that sounds, i'm actually enthralled by the idea of an adult pacifier - it would seriously save me so many pens and straws.
