and things

moving on Halloween means you run into some interesting costumes/characters
you wish for sleep...

I was thinking these guys did a really good job with this song and video.

Mood is slacky

I haven't done work I should have done. I went to the fair and felt like getting fried food, but the universe kept making it difficult, so I ended up in a very empty coffee house eating a veggie sandwich and listening to a guy play guitar and sing painfully idealistic songs, which I mostly don't remember except for Blackbird, and it made me think I should be less cynical (but it's hard). I'm not completely freaking out about just discovering I've lost a checkbook to an account I'm about to close, even though I'm sort of freaking out (please let no one find it and write checks tonight) and wouldn't it be great if I found it anyway, just for some peace of mind? I suppose I should go do the work I wasn't doing... ("You still have lots of things to pack up," the roommate commented helpfully)

otra version

I think I can tell why "Yeah Yeah Yeah" is Kix's most popular song!

I had TWO left,
Two ludes for the girl of my wet dreams

Now, once again,
She drinks my beer,
She drinks my whiskey
She does my qualudes

Five in the morning comes,
Note: Five has come,
Steve has yet to come
Five in the morning comes

And this girl looks at me
In a most peculiar way
She is not looking very well
From her eyes come these
big, big, big, big tears
Rolling all over her face
Down into her chest and
Into her underwear

And she's got those big green snot bubbles
You know - it's not runny,
It's big thick shit

And she's got drool
This shit had legs,
I don't know what the fuck it was

It was nothing but
Tears and Snot and Drool, oh my!
Tears and Snot and Drool, oh my!
Tears and Snot and Drool, oh my!
Tears and Snot and Drool, oh my!

So she's not looking very well,
We've established that, right?

Oh MUSIC lord...

So, I got up and kicked the cat out (sorry! look, I'm outside too! I told her) and went for a walk and remembered that Michael from here and Maryland told me to look up a Maryland band....I went to search for their most popular song. I just listened for a few seconds. Blah blah blah, yeah yeah yeah...I was a bit bored by it but all these people were commenting on how hilarious the song is. So then I looked up the lyrics. A little sampling!
  
Shhhh - Be very very quiet 
It's woman season - I'm woman hunting 
Every time I go woman hunting 
It always seems to blow up in my face 
I never really get the things I want
 I'm not expecting a pity party or nothing 
Any girl'd be nice every now and then 
I'm a nice guy - I bathe 
Sure I got blue arms - So what? 
It doesn't make me a bad person

~ "Yeah Yeah Yeah"

~~~~~Oh~~~~~

She drinks my whiskey
She does my Qualudes
5 o'clock comes
"Oh I feel sick - I gotta go home now."
And she threw up all over the floor
I said, "Freeze, freeze - go outside and do that!"
I said, "The hell with this. I don't need this."
"I'll go to the geisha house where it's free."
So I said, "Quit, quit throwing up"
"Don't tell me no, tell me yeah yeah yeah"
Don't tell me no tell me yeah yeah yeah
And she threw up again

~ "Yeah Yeah Yeah" 

Ha ha...

 *****

I really wonder if Mary Prankster ever heard them? She's long-retired. She's younger then they are, and they are still making music. It's kind of unfair, hmmm? I think I remember hearing some guys who worked with her say she had to deal with a lot of stalker-type stuff that they never had to deal with...it does seem like it's easier for guys to just keep doing that kind of thing...just an observation...

And then...

Me and my neighbor made arrangements so I can look after their cute / audacious cat if they are going out of town! (They do, a lot, apparently.) We also talked about marathons (not for me, nor her, but she lives with someone who gets medals) and she told me about something called The Color Run. Getting better at some of this stuff...

'Thanks for a Fine Day' by Noi

I text myself

Michael in a wheelchair who is from here and Maryland stopped me and told me I am really cute, I am 20-22 (he reiterated this when I tried to correct him), I am going to have babies (are you psychic? I asked), and I should stick with what I'm studying because there is a drought and what am I gonna tell my babies, that I did nothing'? No, I'm not going to tell them that. He used to hit on a lot of girls when he was young, used to skip school and go to DC. One time he had to pee and pulled over into an alley and there was a box of steaming donuts. He took it to the homeless guys and then brought some home. His mother asked if he went to school, and he said, mom, you will love these donuts. He pulled out a chocolate eclair. And did she eat it? She loves me, he said. He's going to look up Mary Prankster (and it's rebellious music, right? he asked) I am going to look up Kix. They played in a place in DC called The Bayou.  He and his mother had to leave his dad, though. "One of those," he said. "It happens." That's how they ended up in Maryland. He said, "I'll remember you. If you see me, stop me, okay?" That's something that happened when I went for a walk tonight...

Reading things

the bar...is...low...and...high...

"This is the saddest incident from my childhood. I will tell you now. My father, a gambling addict, had lost everything, and been evicted from his last apartment. He was living in a camper-van, and unemployed, and had been unemployed for several years. I was 16 years old, working at Long John Silver’s fast-food restaurant, and giving him all of my wages. I made $5.15 an hour, and I couldn’t work more than 20 hours a week because of child labor laws…but I worked all weekend, every weekend, and I gave him everything. He wanted me to steal from my job, but I wouldn’t do that. He wanted me to steal from my mother’s jewelry box, but I wouldn’t do that either."

 "Dexter has every right to lash out it anger, but he doesn’t. It wouldn’t be a surprise if he were disobedient child, but he isn’t. He’s nice. He is the sweetest kid (human actually) I’ve ever known. His mom is an abusive junkie currently shooting-up in some dope house and to this day we still have no idea who his dad is. He’s been robbed of a decent childhood. He has witnessed so much chaos, violence, negligence, anger, and sadness in his little life, but he is in no way a reflection of that. He’s kind. He’s kind to everyone."

XX

I don't always wake my double X person up all wretched
But WHEN I DO...
Stagger to the kitchen and open the freezer to retrieve
raw ginger! Chomp chomp. Such a delicacy
Oh yeah this is supposed to go in the tea
Punch up the heating pad to maximum
Castor oil + rags
Think about how it's possible that society underrates adoption SO MUCH/ Isn't that sad? / Why is that? Maybe it's because humans think their precious genes need to be propogated in some instinctual biological manner so they can be all "look at my genes! my genes! my genes!" at parties "my genes, my special special genes!" BLAH BLAH BLAH
Oh wait, is that relief? Maybe there won't be castor oil packs this round! Good, less messy
How weird, I don't feel like I'm dying any more
How did that happen in a few short minutes?
You are the most interesting reproductive organs in the world
Stay hydrated and be lively
Avoid certain foods
Etcetra

How lovely...

Moving music forever...


The last show I saw with M.P. (2004) is up on the youtube...

She is talking about the Rev. Peyton's Big Damn Band. They were great! They weren't well-known back then...
This is super-exciting.



"INDIE PUBS 4-EVER!!! For those lucky enough to get their hands on a print copy of George Mason University's underground satire newspaper "The Expulsion", there's a review of Mary's "Pranksgiving" show at Jammin' Java in Vienna, VA. Unfortunately, the publication doesn't have an online component, but copies are out there..."

Antidote

1) Because lately Mary Prankster is the best music for forcing yourself to get the packing/cleaning out nooks and crannies taken care of...

2)Found an antidote to that "Good For You" song (a corporate $$$ maker, annoyed me for 5-10 seconds during my pm commute before I changed the station)

Throwback alternative...

I will never understand why there are apparently a bevy of fellows in the world who would be happy to be blasted with the former, but then, when they actually have their own kids, want to curl up and die at the idea of their daughters acting like the latter... Ha ha ha! Why? Because society's still super sexist!!!

Sorry, guys!

Lots of suffering heaped on the actors in this article...more $$$ for the personal trainers...

"For much of Hollywood history, only women's bodies were objectified to such absurd degrees. Now objectification makes no gender distinctions...."

"Extreme weight loss or gain has become such a gimmick that lately, it seems many actors and fans are confusing body manipulation with talent... It's not just that Tudor princes and Victorian lotharios didn't have waxed chests and 12-packs – it's that almost nobody had bodies like these until the last decades of supplements and fitness science."

My day, my day

was amazingly irritating. It makes one pause and reflect. The car is not even the worst. The cleaning and moving prep is a trial. The best is laying flat on the back, like right now...

Another song

The home of the cat had some jolly sounding activities the other night.
Song on the balcony:

Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.
Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.
Through our last night on shore, drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more:
Here's wishing you a happy voyage home

Listening to covers

and skimming text until they turn out the lights is studying, kind of...

Wording

Wow, this Pond Scum article...I feel like by the time I got to the end of it, the author's photo resembled her subject matter!

At any rate, the man may have been pretty insufferable. But I am always intrigued by a different take on that person. Such as this...

Henry Thoreau as remembered by a young friend by Edward Emerson

It would seem Thoreau was a bit less insufferable around some children? Tree huggers.

THE HEAT TODAY!

There are many things that are forcing me to realize that I really need to get very balanced in my life. I've seen a certain "military guy" approach to life (gorging on both food and fitness) and even though it's rather amusing and familiar to me, and it might work for some people, I can tell it is not going to work for me at all in this body. I guess I need to seek out boring, unpopular, ignorable balance. *But what if saying it like that is also not balanced? Sigh. "Peaceful, tranquil, energizing balance" would be a better way of putting it!*

Pushed myself on an uphill walk (should have gone earlier in the a.m.) in the heat today...felt very wiped out and had a killer headache...the electrolyte water helped...also dropped off a cashier check...mostly very freaked out about moving to a smaller space...it's completely doable and yet it's much smaller...in a way I hope that it will make the living area neater and more streamlined but I'll have to see if my cohorts support me in that...the manager mentioned that if I were already living there I could have swum in a pool today (good point!)...also it is within walking distance of a "natural healing" type clinic I have been curious about (which is also expensive and does not take insurance, but interesting to note anyway)...lastly, I was told that several stray cats roam around the place...I saw one today and it was rather friendly, from a distance...it seemed to be curious about people.

O Mysterious Stranger!

Yesterday at a coffee shop I saw a woman who looks like a distant relative I've never met (but wish to someday) and I could not quite convince myself of one thing or another, but I knew she reminded me of her. We both were wearing gray pullovers and being studious. I don't go to that place very often. I also saw someone else there that I only see for the occasional key exchange for pet sitting. I had a feeling I wanted to go to that coffee shop. I think that in a way, I really wanted that woman to be her...

Advice

https://maliasauceda.wordpress.com/2011/04/04/ah-beautiful-simplicity/

~~~~~

Since your body is giving you attitude again: Quit stressing. (Allow yourself to feel more laid back.) Don't yell at your female body. (Be kind to her.) Don't ignore feminine energy. (Welcome feminine energy.) Enjoy the outdoors as much as you can...think more floral thoughts!!!

Wow

Today some neighbors gossiped with me about the cat and I gave her food in clear view of everyone.

Zzzz

Until stubbing toe, had a more relaxing evening than I would have anticipated. Someone must have put sleepy vibes in my tacos...

pinterest

And then what happened

Still haven't moved yet. The hard drive is making angry dying sounds. The cat is in here because the upstairs neighbors are being negligent again. The old boys network is killing off feminine creativity with it's own self-absorbed excesses. Women who are mothers could give a rat's ass about their fertility-challenged sisters and daughters. Despair.
