♪r♪But the "son" rolling high through the sapphire sky♫♪

Me: I forgot to tell you I almost got us a son today.

Justin: A sun?

Me: A son... I was leaving the co-op and this kid was behind me. He was asking me all the way to the car if he could have a sleep over. When I went to unlock my door I turned around and looked at him and said 'go ahead,' thinking that he belonged in the car parked next to me.

Justin: and...

Me: And he goes, "mom???" and then ran across the parking lot in the other direction. It was this close.

Anyway I got one of the ultimate editions of Harry Potter that I had ordered today. Speaking of watching movies a friend of mine posted this on Facebook.
Her status said watching "The Lion King"... simply brilliant


I think that is the epitome of art. Speaking of art I was eating falafel the other day and I sent Justin this photo because the shape I made in the mustard reminds me of Edvard Munch's "The Scream"


Spot on my friends... Spot on.

PS In regards to the Lion King (and the title of this blog), call me daft but I did not realize the chanting at the beginning of the song actually was in a Zulu I thought it was just gibberish...

"The song in the beginning of Lion King is called Circle of Life. The beginning chant is: Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba [Here comes a lion, Father]. Sithi uhm ingonyama [Oh yes, it's a lion]. Nants ingonyama bagithi baba Sithi uhhmm ingonyama Ingonyama Siyo Nqoba [We're going to conquer]. Ingonyama Ingonyama nengw' enamabala [A lion and a leopard come to this open place]."
