tomatoes

There is a woman who works at the library who once remarked upon my tomato-eating habit. She apparently also likes to eat tomatoes, and said she had never seen anyone else doing it.

Today she brought me three home-grown tomatoes. Yum.

the chameleons

An excerpt from a Chameleons FAQ question about 'how to describe the band':

That's easy. Tell them the band is "sui generis."

After they stare at you for two seconds, explain to them that the phrase simply means that they sound like William Blake's "The Tyger" set to music.

After they stare at you for two seconds, recite Baudelaire's poem "What a Pair of Eyes Can Promise."

After they stare at you for two seconds, tell them that you're just fucking with them, and that the band sounds like Journey.

I think that actually works fairly well. Now run along and find a Chameleons CD.
