There is part of me that absolutely loves this book and is inspired by it. However, there is also a part of me that is slightly disappointed in how it ended.

I dont even remember what book this is from but its just gah i love it!

Fage Greek Yogurt Commercial Poem:

Plain was the same as it ever was the same.

Plainly Plain…

Samely same…

But then, someone lit the flame

Plain rode away on lions mane

Where plain met fruits with strangely names

Such wonderful things they did contain.

A shot of life to a hungry vein.

The captive beast who broke the chain

And there upon that fruit plain

Is where plain became what plain became

So much more than more than plain

Plain will never be the same.

I did not understand that this was for yogurt at first… I loved it though. Still do. Makes me think of narnia, aslan.

The Story of Over the Garden Wall with Songs From the Show

Fantastic limited-edition promotional storybook and 7″ record in the style of old Peter Pan books-and-records. The narration on the record is gorgeous (it’s read by Jack Johnson, the narrator of the show and singer of the theme song), and often goes off book in hilarious and surprising ways.

Jim Campbell did the art for this. Would be cool if this had a wider release someday, or maybe a virtual online sort of thing so you could listen to the record and read along. 

[otgw-confessions]

Exactly suits my tastes, I love it. It would be a nice alternative ending for OTGW, even though it’s a bit spine-chilling.

Shit People Need to Stop Doing To Grocery Store Employees:

And in grocery stores in general. You’re in public. Pull your shit together.

1. Asking “Could you please put all my cold foods together?” I’m going to do that anyway, dumbass. Although it helps when you group your shit together instead of spreading it out.

2. Questioning “Do you have any more in the back?” Nope. We’re an outlet store, we run out of shit. We’re not trying to save it.

3. Saying “I understand.”…then asking another person in the department the same question. Obviously, you did not understand.

4. Dumbly staring at me while I try to reach the shelf that your cart and/or gaggle of children are blocking. I’m not holding a full box for the hell of it.

5. Acting like we’re babysitters. We aren’t. Watch your own damn children.

6. Assuming I know the nutritional value and list of ingredients of every item on the shelf. So, no, I don’t know the nutritional value of that tub of butter off the top of my head, but I believe you are capable of reading the label.

7. Deciding you don’t want that cold food item and placing it on a shelf for employees to find later. I love the feeling of warm bacon or blocks of cheese.

8. Riding a motor cart when you’re feeling too lazy to walk. If your ass doesn’t have a doctors note, stay off the motor carts. I’ve seen elderly or lame people having to wait for a cart because they’re being ridden by a fat ass who was capable, but too lazy, to walk around our store.

9. Pulling change, your phone, other detritus from your cleavage. Just…stop. Find another place to put your shit and don’t you dare expect me to handle boob change without making a face of utter horror.

10. Assuming that we aren’t busy because no one is currently in line or that we enjoy customers coming through our line breaking our moment of peace and quiet. Personally, I enjoy a moment when I don’t have to pretend that I give a shit about someone’s cousin who has a horrible husband and needs to go out more or that clearly I look like I’m bored. Trust me, I’m not.

Sincerely, a slightly disgruntled but mostly vaguely amused grocery store employee.

Lyrics to Bitches In Bookshops by Annabelle Quezada & La Shea  Delaney

Parody to Niggas In Paris by Jay-Z and Kanye West

[Annabelle] Read so hard librarians tryin' ta fine me­ They can't identify me Checked in with a pseudonym, so I guess you can say I'm Mark Twaining Read so hard, I'm not lazy Go on Goodreads, so much rated Fountainhead on my just read, gave it four stars and then changed it Read so hard I'm literary, Goosebumps series too scary! Animal Farm, Jane Eyre, Barnes & Noble, Foursquare it No TV, I read instead, got lotsa Bills, but not bread: Burroughs, Golding, Shakespeare - all dead Read so hard, got paper cuts on trains while you're playin' connect the dots All these blisters from turning pages, read so hard, I'm seeing spots Your sūdoku just can't compare nor Angry Birds 'cos lookit here My Little Birds is getting stares........."This print's rare." Read so hard, I memorize, The Iliad... I know lines Watch me spit, classic lit, epic poems that don't rhyme War and Peace? Piece of cake, read Tolstoy in 3 days Straight through, no delays, didn't miss a word, not one phrase [Hook] Read so hard librarians tryin' ta fine me (That shit cray, that shit cray, that shit cray) [La Shea] He said "Shea can we get married at the Strand?" His Friday Reads are bad so he can't have my hand You ball so hard, OK you're bowling But I read so hard, I'm JK Rowling That shit cray, ain't it, A? What you readin'? (de Montaigne) You use a Kindle? I carry spines Supporting bookshops like a bra, Calvin Klein Nerdy boy, he's so slow, Tuesday we started Foucault He's still stuck on the intro? He's a no go It's sad I had to kick him out my house though He mispronounced an author (Marcel Proust) Don't read in the dark, I highlight with markers While laying in the park and wearing Warby Parkers Marriage Plot broke my heart and it made me read Barthes I special ordered a copy, a softcover not hard, HUH?! [Interlude] Belle: Good morning! I've come to return the book I borrowed! Shopkeeper: Finished already? Belle: Oh, I couldn't put it down. You got anything new? [Hook] [Annabelle] I am now marking my place, don't wanna crease on my page Don't let me forget this page, don't let me forget this page I may forget where I left off so I'll use this little Post-It I hope that it stays sticky, I hope it doesn't fall out [La Shea] I am now marking my place, don't wanna crease on my page Don't let me forget this page, don't wanna forget this page I got bookmarks at home but I forgot one for the road (I have a bookmark that I can loan) You know how many bookmarks I own? [Both] I am now marking my page Don't let me forget this page Don't let me forget this page Don't let me forget this page

Realizing that I am like my cat:

1. I find rain repulsive now. I spend a while, after being exposed to the substance, meticulously grooming myself. 2. Laying out in the sun is my favorite activity as long as Im alone. When others join me it loses its allure and I stalk off. 3. I was listening to music when my mother attempted to get my attention. She gently laid her hand on my shoulder...I jumped & hissed.

Love this.

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.
