driftglass

* if you arent reading driftglass regularly, you really should - often for the biting incite (sic) but also for the magnificent prose. here he is describing his chicago this morn (using words in this manner should be illegal):

"The sky here is a brilliant blue. And, I must say, a sexy, provocative blue; not a vulgar and smutty blue.

As great strippers and fan-dancers all know, something must be left to our imagination. A solid wall of a single color is boring, as mere nakedness on stage is dull. Sheer flesh can be a yawn, but like the wise and subtle artist, the sky here has donned a white boa of clouds, cumulo-pasties and strapped itself into a pair of six-inch Cirrus heels and is slow-dancing across the dome of heaven while I shout "Oh Baby!" much to the confusion of the other brunchers."

sigh. i have a blogcrush on an elderly male blogger. nuthin wrong with that.
