corpse flower

My mom happened to be in Madison last week. She saw the big deformed penis Amorphophallus Titanum. She actually saw it when its spathe was open, and when it stunk. She wasn't very impressed. Big ol' ugly, stinky flower thing.

Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',
I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Has LJ been really slow lately, or is it just our T1 line?

I had a Fresca for lunch (it was free). I've had half a glass of water, and a carmel chocolate bar since, and I still have that diet aftertaste in my mouth.
