Saturday, April 05, 2003 This morning: dragged myself from under the covers, got myself out in the morning air and sunlight by 10:30. Went straight to one of my favorite local café pushers for a morning espresso. Walked in, sat down, exchanged hellos with the guy behind the bar, he got a cuppa going for me. As I sat there, the sound from the TV mounted over the entranceway caught my attention, I turned around to spy a morning cartoon show in process -- Cow and Chicken -- animation done in the style of the late, great Ren & Stimpy, the protagonist in this one being a cow experiencing some intensely trying events, responding with emotional states so exaggerated that they produced wildly extreme physical alterations, body parts stretching here and there in shock, fright and alarm, pulsing, bloodshot eyes bulging bizarrely. Man, what a surreal, garishly-colored, er, wake-up call. Pretty good café, though. rws 7:18 AM [+]
