I like making up very short songs containing a very few words. Lately, all of my songs have contained the word “kitty” in addition to a few others, or sometimes solo. Now, this is where today’s entry sort of sucks because I lack the ability or will to post audio of me singing the kitty songs. So, when I post the lyrics, they aren’t going to be as evocative as I’d like them to be.

I also write songs about Phineas. I call him my pigeon.

Kitty Song #1

(Insistent, rapid) Kitty kitty FACE head
Kitty kitty FACE head
(Swing-style, with jazz hands) Kitty face! Kitty face!

Kitty Song #2

Kitties are nice
Kitties are good
Kitties always do what kitties should.

Kitty Song #3

Kitties!
Kitties!
Kitties!
Kitties!
Ki-ttttttieeeessss!

That’s just a small sample, mis compadres. For more, you’re going to have to wait for the complete Kitty Songs album. They are silly, but they are fun. Intense, but easy-going.

Okay, back to that last line. “Intense, but easy-going.” Last night at the gym, I was doing the EFX and treadmill while watching this Dateline special about dating. The show followed four New York singles wookin’ pa nub at speed dating, in bars, on the Internet, and via a matchmaker. The lady who tried out match.com actually had this sentence in her profile. How, pray tell, can one be both intense and easy-going? Can you be tall but short? Ugly but pretty? Not particularly. I bet that when this woman thinks she’s being easy-going, she’s got such single-minded focus as to be scary. That’s how she looked on the show, anyway.

I need to cut my hair. Ideas? It’s pretty long, very thick and just hangs there like a dry brown curtain.
