my heart is a mall where moms drop off teens
my soul is a carwash where there is always a job for the unemployed and broken down
my eyes are heroin needle beaches
my fingers are miami in 1982
my mouth is a used cd store going out of business
and my shoulders are a trustfund hippie coffee shop
my feet are a hammock left out in winter
my knees are a hotel lobby rock show
my legs are a retired baseball player signing autographs
my arms are the woods you went to when you were young
my neck is the blue locker you had in junior high
my nose is the blank pages in the back of a yearbook
all my blood is an interstate highway
and my nerves are mountains you see but never visit
and my spine is also a carwash

GA residents: Tell your rep NO on HR 179:

If HR 179 passes *Tomorrow* we, GA taxpayers, will have to foot the bill for companies who want to clear-cut trees around their billboards. All over the state.

Tofu Roll

While working on the second version of Done, a basic command line todo list tool, I realized I had written a bunch of code to generalize routing command line arguments to python methods. It seemed pretty useful, so I extracted it and turned it into a miniature framework for writing command line applications.

Code speaks louder than words, so..:

greetings.py:

from tofuroll.tofuroll import *

class app(TofuApp):
    @command
    def hi(self, options, args):
        if options.name:
            print "Hi, %s" % options.name
        else:
            print "Hi there"

    @option
    def name(self):
        return {
            'help' : "someone's name"
        }

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app().run()

on the command line:

$: python greetings.py hi
Hi there
$: python greetings.py hi -n nate
Hi, nate

For a more interesting example involving the peewee orm, check out done2.py.

tofuroll can be installed via pip (pip install tofuroll) and its source is available on github.
