Random happy Friday

They're on their way... pretty light fixture 1, pretty light fixture 2. :)

I didn't get even the tiniest nibble on the brainteaser I posted on Monday... too bad, I was looking forward to writing someone a sonnet. Anyway, I've updated the post with the answer. And now the first person to comment on this post with a suggested sonnet topic is the one who will get the sonnet. All other comments will be responded to in limerick or haiku form, as inspiration strikes. Ready, go!

I leave you with this image of me perching on a fencepost last week and blending into the sky... see my little smile? I am thinking about handstands and yoga and Zillian and writing poems for you.

Out of control young celebrity women! But funny!

Okay, you are the winner! I'll start thinking. :)

"Hey, I'm a pop star, I think that's great
I can dress classy, everything skin-tight
I heard it was hip to procreate...
Um, babies mostly eat Doritos, right?"

"I'm pretty and young -- yeah, I drink a bit...
And drive... and I've got a little cocaine
But I want some recognition, goddamnit
When I was twelve I used my brain."

Oh Lindsay and Brit, you make so many scenes
We all know your trainwrecked little faces
I think you're working for the magazines
And get paid on a per-crisis basis.

I'll see you soon in People, Us and Star.
The direction may be down, but you'll go far!

You are far more graceful than the pelicans I used to see perching on fenceposts! It's a fantastic picture

A wonderful bird is the flexagon.
She sat on a post like a hexagon.
If she fell off the cliff
it would have sucked if
she died and became just an ex-agon.

May I humbly suggest a haiku on the topic of your new light fixtures? You may, of course, wait until they arrive and have been installed.

My tip, which you may already know, is this. Bend an old wire coat-hanger and use it to suspend the fixture from the crossbar inside the electrical box while you tie up the wiring. (Also, wrap electrical tape or similar around the part of the hanger where the fixture will be resting, so it doesn't scratch the finish.) Let me know if you need any other help or ideas, since I just hung a couple of these things myself.
