Thoughts on the Day (4/1 and 4/2)

[partly]

I am sick. Ran a fever most of the day yesterday and all day today. I am going to bed now. I'm posting, but my comments (what they are) don't probably make any sense. Enjoy.

Yesterday was::

April Fools or All Fools Day
I don't like April Fool jokes all that much. As I see it, practical jokes break a trust between the person doing it and the receiver of the joke. They promise one thing, but then deliver another. It always stuck me as too close to lying to people you are supposed to care about. I realize that this is an odd and extreme view and I don't require the world to agree.

St. Stupid Day
International Tatting Day
I really have nothing to say about either of these two day except that I find it amusing they are on the same day. I've got nothing against tats, mind, but It still made me laugh.

National Fun Day
Yay! Fun! I'll plan on having some once I feel better. Have some for me, please!

Sorry Charlie Day
When I was young, I had a rug in my bedroom that was of Charlie the Tuna from StarKist Tuna fame. It had a hook with the note "Sorry Charlie" hanging down in front of him. I always liked those ads, even if they made no sense.


Today is:

International Children's Book Day
I love children's books. I especially love Young Adult books. They manage to touch on some very serious topics with grace and style. I especially like that they are able to actually make statements about good and evil and right and wrong in ways that adult novels shy away from.

Reconciliation Day
Ah... way to sick to make philosophical statements about a day that covers reconciliation. Sorry.

National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day
I've never liked peanut butter and jelly. Never had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich as far as I can recall.

There. Off to sleep. Wish me health.

Salud!!!

I like the sort of April Fools' joke that makes you think twice about the things you take for granted, like prices that make some sort of sense on woot.com - apparently if you looked closely, the million-and-one dollar bag of junk came with a million-dollar-off coupon. And silly webpages, like silly announcements or articles or ads, are just FUN. Provided you can still find the content if you really wanted it. But, my own opinion. :-)

I read "International Tatting Day" as "International Tattling Day". I still haven't figured that one out.

You do know tatting is making lace, right?

I know. But it's also short for "tattoing". And when I googled "tatting day" the first hits came up with Tattoing, so I went with that.

Although my grandmother did do tatting and we save all the lace she made one the pillow cases are no longer good. I don't even what to try tatting.
