Sizzling Pizza

This post has nothing to do with the title. Only thought it might catch more people’s attention. I like the double double z's. And. I mean. Pizza’s good.

There are a few subtleties you might notice about today’s comic. One being the lack of a decelerating device. For the toad, there is no such thing as terminal velocity.

Today, I was a zombie. I have been a great many things the past couple of days it seems. I took part in a flash mob. Fun stuff, but I won’t speak on it now. We made the front page of the newspaper though. Paragraph break.

That Tahitian bungalow has stared me in the face for its last day. Today brings a new month and a new tropical paradise. Bear with me now, as I flip the calendar page in real time.

Oh la la, Sofriere Bay and the Volcanic Peaks of the Pitons, St. Lucia, the Caribbean. Not bad at all. In fact, very reminiscent of Swiss Family Robinson. I can almost see little Franz scurrying up the hill with his coconut bombs. Slimy pirates!

I’ve begun reading some more T.S. Eliot lately. It had been some time since last I read him. It’s entertaining to find old passages underlined and noted from my senior year of high school. I will say, I’ve not gotten much more intelligent in college. And goodness, that’s three years now? When is the scepter of sagacity laid in my hands? I bet it will be senior year second semester.

I think I’m using way too much passive voice. I need to drive with my words! I need to push them forward! Enough of this dragging.

Also a lot of italics. C.S. Lewis prefaced his Mere Christianity by stating his dissatisfaction with his use of italics in the book. He compiled the book from a series of radio talks he made during the war and used italics to highlight oral emphasis. Apparently to undesirable effect. I cannot avoid it I think. My words sag with them and the passive voice. It’s like in my core though. Not an auxiliary repair, but one requiring a thorough razing and re-founding. Rats!

-Arrivederci!
