excellent bloom
We are having a bit of a standoff here at Casa de Controlled Burning over our personal choices of bathroom sprays. Deodorizers and germ killers, be grateful, for you are loved so that the holy balance of marriage rests on your quivering shoulders.
My wife likes Oust, a new product that makes many great claims. I prefer Lysol, which has been our old standard for freshing rooms and making less the stanky chore of gastrointestinal distress.
But while this is roiling on, I find a new competitor at my place of work. There they utilize a product whose brand escapes me, but flavors grasped my attention immediately. Their bland, plain labels bore the following names: "Traditional Snappy Apple" and "Seasonal Spring Rain".
These products boast "excellent bloom and suspension time". And the sheer humor in them almost makes them worthy of a trial period.
...and speaking of bad smells: something stinks about the recent letters to the editor at our local New Times publication, The Dallas Observer, regarding the behavior of local singer and professor of positive vibes Erykah Badu. Two letters have indicated that Ms. Badu, at a recent concert, began raving about the war and Bush and in an angry, inciteful way. Which is almost understandable, though it is implied that she also made remarks that could be viewed as harmful toward caucasians. This concerns me, as a peaceful caucasian man in my early 40s, for I'm fairly certain I would stand out in a crowd of Erykah Badu's followers. I love Badu's music, in fact I will state here and now for the record that a few of the best times of my life have included her as the soundtrack. But I don't care for anyone's version of a race card, especially when it implies violence toward others. So I hope she was confused, or maybe someone misinterpreted her burdgeoning stand-up act (?). I'd hate to think that one of the apparent few forces for goodwill in the country has decided to go down a different path. What a shame, what a waste, that would be.
Lastly, I have changed my e-mail account from the glitch-and-error-laden Hotmail to the shiny newness of the Google Mail system called Gmail. I would love to invite you all to join in, but apparently it is still in its Beta Phase. I am hoping it will emerge successful, as it is a nifty, speedy creature in the land of e-mail. So from here on out, if you have feedback on the site or just want to say hello, send your expressions of glee and resentment to steven.norwood@gmail.com.
Hey baby, que paso?
