I overutilize the word "incongruous" and make up a new phrase. Or two.11:48 a.m. - 2004-09-28
Today I was waiting for the Metrolink to come. While I was sitting there, a bird landed on the metal part of the tracks, and chirped a few times. I checked to make sure the train from that set of tracks wasn't coming. The bird sat there for another minute, shit on the tracks, and then flew off. Yep, that's public transportation.
Also, I have been overusing the word incongruous today.
The incongruous beauty of the sprinkler as the sun rose behind it.
The incongruous white lump on the cold gray metal of the tracks, framed by the weather-darkened wood.
The incongruous levels of exhaustion and hyperphoria (that should totally be a word).
Etc.
There's been another phrase that I just thought of today, that I am enjoying so thoroughly that I just can't stop using it. Carcinogenic phallus. Example: The cigarette hung from his mouth like a carcinogenic phallus. Even better if you change it to "diseased carcinogenic phallus". I am so totally going to use that phrase around people who smoke. But I mean really! It is, after all! I'm just callin' it like I see it.
