(1) Rice bran works well in place of bread in salmon croquettes. Oat bran works well in place of bread in meatloaf. The reverse does not hold true.
(2) Sometimes the world seems very close to being right. Sometimes, when it's further from right, it seems as if it could very easily be put right by the application of logic and pure intentions. I suspect this falls under the heading of "pernicious illusion". Still, I refer you to:
Freddy Mercury, you are missed.
(3) One of my proudest achievements is a monstrously big pile of sticks I have hauled from all over my woods by brute force. Today for the first time, it was officially taller than I am. Someday I hope it will be very good dirt. Meanwhile, it's a very impressive and monstrously large pile of sticks. Not Godzilla monster, not King Kong monster, but at least, say, Jaws. No teeth, but lots of poky stick ends. Well, actually they're more blunt than not...
But dammit it's my big pile of sticks and a man has to stand by his pile of sticks, doesn't he? Once, say, it's light again, and not raining, and I don't have to go in to work. So, yes, next Saturday I will stand by my pile of sticks whether it's monstrous or not.
(4) Is a good stopping point. Grayness' ramble was brought to you by the numbers 8 ,and 6 and by the letters G and N.
Goodnight, all.
PS: If *I* were a monster, I think I'd be an ogre. Simple, to the point, monstrous. If *you* were to be a monster... what would you be? 23 days 'till the great pumpkin, folks! Chop chop!

Ya know, I never thought much of ogres until the whole "Shrek" thing happened. I thought Princess Fiona was pretty cool so I think I'm going to jump on the ogre band wagon. A close second might be a vampire (but only cuz of the cool, gothy clothes -- I'm not sure I could sign on to the whole blood drinking part of the deal.) 
Thanks for dropping by my journal. It's always nice to see someone new pop in for a visit!
