I forgot what ... (does this seem like a theme here?)
I'll just... make a meaningless comment, and think of a better way to contribute towards your goals and aims' of communicating better. I'm reading a book I probably should have finished 6 years ago, but I'm bored, and it's most likely the only book I own (of which there are two) that I haven't read. title: The First World War author: Sir Michael Howard description: "a masterly introduction to the the Great War" 1962

In addition, I read Spring Moon about 2 years ago. (completing the comment on the only other book I "own".)
In reality, I stole the book from a Hotel lobby at around 3am after a shingding. I didn't acknowledge or read the book until around 5 months later. Great read (about Chinese, whatever, social status, I think). I took my (second) moniker from that story, I liked it so much.

Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7th of your life.

Call it "lunes" instead, and look up at the sky each week and say to the night air, "Well, is tonight the night? When, if ever, will I go lycanthropic? It's been too long now to not happen, and I'm getting itchy waiting, and I wonder if I should have worn XL boxer-briefs tonight instead."
1959

Is this the standard cover for Lord of the Flies?
It's blazing.

moonflies.
Have you heard of the tale of the rabbits on the moon? (I think it's an Eastern tale). moonpies.  (way too many kismetrigans to count; they seem to multiply, in essence, like...)

Moon rabbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Moon rabbit, also called the Jade Rabbit, is a rabbit that lives on the moon in East Asian folklore. The legends about the moon rabbit are based on the traditional pareidolia that identifies the markings of the moon as a rabbit pounding in a mortar. In Chinese folklore, it is often portrayed as a companion of the moon goddess Chang'e, constantly pounding the elixir of life for her; but in Japanese and Korean versions it is just pounding mochi or tteok. cool, google has implemented their bookmarks' panel as a function to all searches done when logged in. This is a great improvement for someone as on the go as me! (simple way to notice this: if you have a google account, next time you do a search, next to the title of the queried entries, you'll see a hollow star; if you click it, it becomes full and emboldened yellow; you now have a new handy-dandy bookmark! Which can be accessed wherever you are so long as you log into your google account. Yay!). Each day when driven to pre-school, short on time, my mother and I would chant, "I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date..." my mouse is disappearing, so I'm off to nighty-land. 1956

I forget all my dreams, so good, yet so ephemeral.
Though, I do remember this post from a few hours ago. Where are you? 1954 (end of war)  from Learn Something Every Day via tumblr

Be nice to your kids. They'll choose your nursing home.

Zooks,
didn't Australia have problems with excessive rabbits? Perhaps they chucked them to the moon. Sometimes I like to force/enhance my chances of dreaming by following a certain "usually works" ritual and then remembering to tell myself in the dream to remember what is happening so i can remember it when I wake up. |

Darnit... I was all about my remembering my good dream from this morning, but I forgot to try and retain it.
It's now lost in the ether. I'm pretty sure it involved lost friends. I'm not sure why I'm posting this, but find a scenario in which it works.

1949 (show me yours, I'll show you mine)
I don't know whether or not I like receiving credit. It's a struggle trying to identify yourself, but again, also trying to not stand out. Japanese saying: "The nail that sticks out will be the one that gets hammered down."  the time chasers

yes, erecting would be one option.
Even though I used to pretend watching it only cause my two sons liked it so much, I actually had a big soft spot for Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends This one's good for Halloween |

Man, how old is that series?
I'm going to guess it was started in 1984. Let's see if I'm right: Thomas the Tank Engine ---------- Post added at 11:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 PM ---------- Coincidence Toot! 1984, spot-on for the (first) TV series! also, 1946 was the beginning of the pub. Wow. I'm good with trivial matters of interconnetedness that mean nothing to no one but me.
