if you watch the video over there on the right, the very first one called “singing” (couldn\u2019t ANYBODY have thought of a more interesting title???), one of the songs i sing is called the “arthur and celeste song.” at least i assume that\u2019s what the name of it is. here is how part of the song goes: “we have lost two little elephants, we are looking north and south and east and west…for two charming little elephants….named arthur and celeste.” it goes on and on but i can\u2019t remember many of the lyrics. <\/p>\n
so far i haven\u2019t found one single person who also knows this song. i feel that when i meet this person, they will surely be my soul mate. or they could be my long-lost secret twin, which would really be exciting, and hopefully she lives somewhere really beautiful so i could go move there. would i get along with my twin, i wonder? we might not like each other at all. sometimes people who are very very alike don\u2019t get along so well. too alike. <\/p>\n
anyway, i played this little yellow 45 record over and over when i was a child. what happened to the record? gone, like the barbie dolls. when my parents moved from the house i grew up into a different house, there were boxes of barbie dolls complete with many very cool vintage barbie outfits. somehow, during the moving process THE BARBIES ALL DISAPPEARED.<\/p>\n
did my parents have movers? because if they did, then the movers must have stolen the barbie boxes. WHY WOULD A MOVER WANT TO STEAL BARBIES?<\/p>\n
perhaps a barbie fetish? hard to say.<\/p>\n
perhaps the barbie boxes fell off the moving truck moving from place to place.<\/p>\n
highly unlikely. it wasn\u2019t a long drive.<\/p>\n
so, “arthur and celeste.” i tried to find it online, but i had no luck. perhaps somebody out there with a lot of free time on his or her hands, who is really good at looking things up, will find the arthur and celeste song for me, and they could write and tell me where it is. <\/p>\n
it\u2019s been an afternoon of lots of reflection about weighty matters and so that\u2019s why i decided it would be a very very good idea to just STOP THE REFLECTING ALREADY and instead search for arthur and celeste.<\/p>\n
i wanted to accomplish many things this afternoon, but it didn\u2019t all happen. <\/p>\n
but that\u2019s ok. the dogs are fine and the house is still standing, and that\u2019s really all i really really had to accomplish.<\/p>\n
the best part of my day (so far anyway and i feel it will be the best part of my day till i go to sleep) was sleeping really late. i mean, really really late. until almost ELEVEN.<\/p>\n
unprecedented.<\/p>\n
really FANTASTIC.<\/p>\n
picture me saying that with a smashing british accent though. i get to say FANTASTIC a few times during the play, and it makes me want to laugh.<\/p>\n
i feel that if anybody could find the arthur and celeste song, it would be craig. craig, if you\u2019re still there in la, still reading this very website, i just want you to know that i\u2019m theoretically going to be doing some dog\/housesitting there in the not too distant future. and i\u2019d really like to go to R23, if you\u2019re interested. i recall reading on your site that you went there for the first time, and it made me really jealous because i always wanted to go there when in LA but somehow never made it.<\/p>\n
here, a link for all of you who might want to try r23 if you go to LA: r23<\/a><\/p>\n it might not be your thing. i know a fellow, let\u2019s just call him “Q” (for “quagmire) who pretty much lives on hamburgers. oh, and cheese fries. and doughnuts. mountain dew. he doesn\u2019t seem very familiar with fruits and vegetables. so i have an inkling that he might not be so keen on sushi. just a hunch. luckily he\u2019s firmly entrenched here in spfld illinois, so he doesn\u2019t have to worry about somebody trying to sneak any Unagi onto his plate.<\/p>\n
