Cover the Earth

I love Sherwin Williams' logo! Check it out - a bucket of paint being poured over the entire earth and the phrase proudly proclaiming their intention to "Cover the Earth"! Awesome! It's almost like they don't even know there's a green movement.



Go, Sherwin Williams, go - cover the whole earth!

Mike-ku

Odd - here's an old post I started, but never published:

So for some reason I was thinking the structure of haiku was 3-5-7, but I was wrong, so I'm calling this form mike-ku (I know, I know, you already invented it or somebody else did - blah, blah, blah, blah-blah ...)

Here's my first mike-ku:

Trembling leaf
I am not the tree
I am the cold knife cutting

I don't know why I never published it. I like the mike-ku - although, it is a little on the dark side. Not that that would have stopped me. I must have just forgotten I'd started it.

Anyhow, if you've got a good mike-ku to share, feel free to post it as a comment. (Or feel free to comment and tell me how mike-ku already exists and it's called something else.)

Gmail Chat Status

Lately I'm enamored with the free text status you can set for yourself in Gmail chat. I enjoy coming up with random statuses (statii?) for myself. Here are a few of my more recent ideas:

"Racing with rats."
"Making the roses stop to smell me - *sniff* - I'm delicious!"
Playing Skipper to your Gilligan."
"Fighting fire with fire - take that, Smokey!"
"Bulldogging it like a Jello wrestler on crack."
"Riding shotgun on a herd of angry weasels."
"Kick-flipping over the abyss - skate or die, dude!"
"Making the bulls run with me."

Now, if I could only find a way to have them randomly cycle through on their own ...
