Isn't it weird how if you look at, say outloud, or write a word enough times, it starts to become very foreign? Like, think of the word "play". Play. Play. Playplayplayplayplay. What kind of a word is that, anyway??? It sounds so weird. Puhhh-laaaay.
How does one come up with a word? Do you just sit down and say:
"Okay. So there's no word for what happens when you make a moving picture of some sort begin. Oh, and also, there's no word for what children do to have fun. The word for both of those things is gonna be...plllllay. Yeah, play."
Genius!

Color Census.
How many colors are there?
"Millions" isn't a good enough answer! I want a specific number. Like, 513,897,111.6.
And I want a list. I want a list of all the colors with examples.
That way, I can make new ones. And name them after me.
Alexandra's Egg Blue!

...Eh, maybe not. That's a little weird. We'll stick with Robin's Egg.

August 2nd Predictions.
Happy August 2nd! It may seem like an insignificant date, but when you really think about it, it's possible that some important things have happened on any or all of the August 2nds of your life. I can't remember at all what I was doing on August 2nd a year ago...and that kinda scares me.
Isn't it weird how so many conversations, thoughts, and actions are lost to time? I don't like that feeling. I want to remember what I said to people and what they said to me. I want to remember how I felt and what I wore. I want to know what I had for breakfast on August 2nd 2008!!!
Who would have guessed a year ago that I would be sitting here today? Drinking my white wine and blogging in my parents' house? I wouldn't have guessed I would be wearing a denim one-piece romper. I wonder what I'll be doing a year from now...I think I'll guess. It'll be fun.
I predict that on August 2nd 2010, I will have at least 1 and 1/2 new friends, I will have eaten Special K and coffee for breakfast, and I will be in production on some stupid short film of mine that I think is gonna turn out funny but is really gonna just be some sort of inside joke between me and myself.
. . . Now we play the waiting game.

(I probably had Special K and coffee.)

A Unique Phrase.
I'm very unhappy with the length of my previous post. It's just a tad too long. I like to keep it short. I'll try harder this time.
On Today's Episode of A Bird's Stream, I'm going to attempt to craft a sentence that has never been spoken before. Often times when I'm having a conversation with someone and one of us says something strange, I like to wonder if anyone had ever said it before.
It makes you feel special if you're the only human to ever utter a particular phrase. And I like feeling special. So here it goes...
"If Napoleon were wrapped in a garbage bag and jumped out of a blimp then landed on the back of a massive eagle carrying a starfruit and the declaration of independence, would anyone hear?"
I dunno. I can say with confidence that no one else has ever said that before. What do you think?
