spring awakening (not the musical)

Mary Lennox: "Hello, Pretty Robin. Show me the way to the gate. Please."

i say this every time i see a robin. then this line is usually followed with bad cockney accents as i also try to be Dickon and Martha. and of course sometimes, on the days that it rains, i try to be Colin and scream and wail and say something like "THE SPORES! THE SPORES! Someday I'm going to die!" of course people here think i'm crazy. but hey, why not? you only live once, right?
all this to say i saw a robin today. it's the first i've seen since the beginning of spring. of course this comes as no shock as robins only venture out on typically warm days. it alway makes my heart a little happy as i see them, because i know that spring weather will follow for the day.
and in honor of the movie made in the early 90s, i'm listening to the soundtrack that is SO beautiful by a mr.zbigniew preisner.

and i love when i get up early on my days off. it hardly ever happens because usually my story is "i love to sleep in on my days off." but jack was nosing my face to go outside, and though i usually just burrow deeper into the covers, i saw the sun shining and thought, well, why not? i'm half awake already anyway. so, here i am, blogging to all you readers about my little bit of crazy. but i'm sure i'm not alone.

however, i must depart for the time being. jack is running around the room with a BBQ sauce packet and a sock. it goes without saying this is a recipe for disaster!
