Listening: A Little Birdhouse in Your Soul by They Might Be Giants

Happy Sunday Morning!
just a few minutes before leaving for church...
Last night, went to the new downtown bowling alley (The Dust Bowl) with christi, bobby, and daniel--had yummy drinks and delicious tater-tots (yes, that's right--they make sweet potato tots!!), and much fun bowling. i did SO MUCH BETTER than usual...i felt...and my total score for the first game was--*da-dum*--66. :( amazingly, i lost.
best part about it, it's only been open a few months, so the shoes are still purty new, and a little bit cute! :)

in other news, The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood movie is pretty weak compared to the book. i can't recommend it, excpet it has Professor McGonagall (sp??)--i.e., Maggie Smith--in it.

and...the ice cream was AMAZING! D suggests eating it with nutella on top, but we finished it off before having a chance to acquire some. next time!

and finally, here is a poem, written a couple nights ago...more leftover musings from the Divine Secrets:

Can't abide Perfection
Honeyed despot
Dripping accusation
Masking this:

The warped half-trembling
Half-again
Confused

The broken battled
Built-up-walls
Abused

The bitter simple
Sinner
Born into

A world bursting glory
Beautiful
A grace-and-pain-filled
Gift of being

Not yet home
But--maybe--close

Oh, let it go,
Dear,
Just let go.
