"As the past meets the future it gets clearer that it all boils down to love..."

So I took it upon myself to look up the word "giddy", these are the results.

In The Dictionary (you know which one I mean), apparently it is a
brain disorder affecting sheep, but I couldn't ever find out exactly
what it is.

Also, did you know that there is a band called Asthma Sheep? I didn't
until just today.

And I found an instance where someone (evidently Scottish) used the
word gam-bling instead of gambling. I thought to myself, "Self, this
is interesting."

And I also read about how Tom Stoppard wrote plays with "giddy
explosions of words."

And I found this quote:
"Two horns and a set of udders are definitely baaaaaad in
revolutionary Rochdale - where giddy lambs are taking to the streets."

And also this quote:
"I am deleriously giddy in your presence." This one was on a Runner's
World forum, and I liked it, and I may use it on occasion now.

Also, the word giddy has been used to mean "maggot" Hmmm.

That's what I learned today.

And your random phrase of the day is: Today lickspittle. It is a
noun, meaning "an abject parasite or sycophant" I think it's high
quality.

The last few holidays: The 11th was Cheer Up The Lonely Day and World
Population Day. The 12th was Different Colored Eyes Day and Pecan Pie
Day (It was also Brian Day and I actually had pecans on my cake) The
13th was Fools' Paradise Day. The 14th was National Nude Day and
Bastille Day. Yesterday, the 15th, was Ice Cream Cone Day, Tapioca
Pudding Day, and Cow Appreciation Day. Today is International
Juggling Day. Have fun with that one. And tomorrow, for your
preparation, is Peach Ice Cream Day. I tried some of that once, and
it was kind of awful tasting, but it's the kind of flavor that grows
on you. It was indeed hard to stop eating, although I never really
did like the flavor of peaches. Try some, it's really not too bad,
overall...

Good times, good times...

Well, it's been another uneventful week here in Boise. Maybe I'll go
and finish painting my bedroom. It's green. Mostly. I have to do
the second coat now. And I also havent watched "Calle 54" yet. I saw
it once, but now I have it in my house, so I have to see it again. I
like it a lot. The first time, it came out "I like it a log" but that
doesn't make any sense at all. So I fixed it. Have a grand day, all
of yous! I'll talk to you later. And if you feel that I've been
shirking on the commentary, I hope this relieves all your fears that I
have stopped entirely. Also, I apolagize for not sending out more
often. Maybe when I stop selling out, I'll start sending out. Hey,
peace out all.
