The Teapot
1) Found a blog that a) I read for over an hour without realizing it; b) forced me to laugh that ugly, real laugh; c) made me smarter (I'm sure of it).
2) Cleaned the house from tip to toe which a) is not really my style; b) made me feel inwardly spic and span; c) allowed me to find both things I had been looking for and things I never, never wanted to see.
3) Purchased a polka dot teapot and a) felt perverse satisfaction in the rhyme; b) made tea in it forthwith; c) was transported back to childhood by that whimsical piece of pottery.
4) Encountered a homeless man who had constructed a teetering can sculpture that caused me to a) become unable to remove the idiotic smile from my face; b) ask him about his inspiration; c) have a soda when I got home--there's something to that advertising thing.
5) Came up with the idea for this post while a) sitting in my clean apartment feeling strangely accomplished after my adventures; b) letting a funny sequence from the blog I discovered orbit in my head; c) sipping tea from my polka dot pot.

laughing a lot
it's little serendipitous rhymes that bring us back to the simplicity of childhood!

Caracalla: I, too, favor the cozy hominess of a teapot. I liked the visuals in "The Wrestler" too. Also, I always like your recommendations and I love Altman, so I just added "Quintet" to the old queue. thanks for that.

Trudge: that's just what I did

That spotted tea pot is adorable. Makes me want to go make tea, myself.

and to the blog, these lines made me chuckle so much...
