Mimes, to me, are much more freaky and strange. Perhaps in Paris they would be quaint, but mostly I think they're just confusing and in the way...Chickenbellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13573889595933525371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-73118245955911977212008-05-21T12:47:00.000-05:002008-05-21T12:47:00.000-05:00I find the circus to be totally depressing--the ca...I find the circus to be totally depressing--the caged animals really bum me out and I don't care for the clowns either.

Even Stephen King had a horror story about it; just so you know, in this area, you are not completely out of stride. <BR/><BR/>I hate circuses, too, unless it's a Cirque du Soleil. But those are more like performance art, right? <BR/><BR/>Because I heart you, Julie, I will do this Hump Day Hmmm instead of more important things like, um, looking for employment.
