Some of you guys really get off topic and start conversing in threads. It's not to bad now as their really is not that much going on.

Simple question...

is the term Night Bugs a Sarah creation? I didn't think it was but if you google search "night bugs" almost all returns to Sarah.
Is their a less popular reference to it?

aside from any Sarah reference, I've only ever heard the term to describe bedbugs, ie) don't let the nightbugs bite

I've always referred to Nightbugs as fireflies LOL Maybe my neck of the woods is just messed up.. but we'd say. "Hey look.. the nightbugs are out!". So I don't know!

Bedbugs are bit different then the night bugs. At sarah/gryner show at the Rivoli they actually had a guy up on stage talk about the bed bugs in the homeless shelters. Not very nice creatures.

I know with the term night bugs everyone understands what they are. It seems like the term should be hit by hundred of poems and storries but Sarah's album seems to be the only find.

I agree that there is a difference between nightbugs and bedbugs (after taking health care classes you learn some pretty interesting things). I was just saying that I've heard people use the term Nightbugs in a non-sarah way.

obviously the phrase "nightbugs" quite logically could be applied to many things....but I can't say I've ever heard it used in any other context other than Sarah.

go figure....

as an aside, Oxford doesn't list "nightbug" or "nightbugs" as a word.

Perhaps we should be notifying them and crediting Sarah with the creatiion of a new word?

Well, technically it's a phrase not a word.. so it's not guaranteed to be listed in a dictionary.

Dictionary.com also has no listing,

heh, leave it to ms. slean to come up with an original word... er... phrase. but that shouldn't surprise me.

Have you seen the cover of the "Night Bugs" CD, Sarah's blue eyes in the middle have a Canadian leaf!!

I never noticed before! That's interesting!

They look like stars to me.

I thought they were stars too

when she did a performance at the chapters in Vancouver... there were posters hung up on the window behind where she was playing (the album cover)...

and at one point she stopped what she was doing, went over to the window sill, sat down beside the poster, put the back of her hand to her forehead and gasped "I have stars in my eyes!"

so yeah, they're stars.

looks like a star to me.
but then, a maple leaf could be interpreted as a star, since it sort of has the same general shape... if you smoothed out all the edges.
p.s. those are beautiful eyes! :shock:
