  • Skyfish Sails!

    Oh, I'm a skyfish!
    It's what I do.
    Coming real soon to a sky near you.
    Well, I swim with the trees
    And the birds and the bees
    And I'll wave hello to you.

    Oh, I'm a skyfish!
    I chase airplanes
    Flying all around in their air lanes.
    I freak out all the pilots
    And the people in the toilets
    And I make them all insane!

    One day I'll fly to Europe
    I'll speed right over the sea.
    I'll speed over the waves
    Past the coral and the caves.
    There's no other fishes like me!

    One day I'll fly to Europe.
    I'll fly all the way to Spain.
    Hello, my fishy señorita!
    Well, it's really nice to meet ya
    But let's not go to Barcelona, I hear they eat fish there, and, yuck, that's just kinda gross, you know what I mean?

    ¡Arriba!

    Oh, I'm a skyfish!
    I swim in space!
    Comets and quarks all over the place.
    I'll swim past Jupiter,
    I'll swim past Mars,
    But I always stop for cuties in the cocktail bars.
    Yes, I'll always stop for cuties in the cocktail bars
    All Venusian cuties in the cocktail bars.
    Skyfish always stops in the cocktail bars.
    Shaken, not stirred.

    Okay, there really is an explanation to this.  I actually dreamed last night that I was doing improv with a group.  One of the players takes me aside and just gives me one line:  "Okay, you're a skyfish."  Cardinal rule of improv:  try not to resist an idea, no matter how absurd or ludicrous it might seem.  "Yes, and . . . " not "No, but . . . "

    So, I go for it and I'm being carried around stage by another actor, Dance Fever-like.  And I sing this song, more or less.  I can't remember all of it now, but this is the gist of it.  Another actor (actress, actually) joined me on stage and was similarly carried around Danny Terrio-style.  She was a skyblowfish.  We hit it off.

    Happy New Year!

  • heh.

    improv in your own little basted and deepfried brain huh?

    Actually you're not too odd with your skyfish. It's the common name of a type of marine animal. And besides, it's also one of the cool creatures in one of my all-time-favorite anime Eureka Seven.

  • Gung Hay Fat Choy!!

  • Wow - that's a pretty good "gist" of it!!! Maybe you have a future writing lyrics and stuff.

    I've had some weird dreams lately, too - last night I dreamed James broke up with me because I am fat and eat too much. Swear it. He laughed and thought that was funny and told me I am not fat. And he thinks all dreams are weird, if they aren't scary.

  • Hey you need to start writing again! I'm bored!

    and call Charlie. I saw him in CFOP when I was buying canvas the other day and I think he's feeling neglected.
