I’m a little drunk. Just watched Minority Report on video. Confusing plot. ---

It really sucks when people recite that damned Girl with a Curl poem at me. In a meeting. With the Big Boss sitting right there. A little windchime goes a long way. I once had a completely flavorless steak. It was just warm, moist tissue. And not in a good way. ---

I got about halfway through this thread and started thinking random things. I have the day off tomorrow, so I think I’m going to see how long I can sleep. I’m drunk! I need to tune my drumset, and get some new heads, but I don’t have the money. I might go to New Jersey tomorrow (I’m in Va) with a friend, for no particular reason. I love sardines, but I think I’ll have some steak and eggs, with some fried potatoes for breakfast tomorrow.Mmmm ---

I was wondering the other day… If Schroedinger´s cat wasn´t dead nor alive as long as he was in the box…So, if by observing, you change the outcome, and you look into the box and the cat is dead, then you killed it. Or rather, your curiosity killed the cat. …so is this where the expression comes from? ---

Another beautiful day. I really want to original of the Lawren Harris painting I have up. Or at least a better print, or something. Is the Augustinian doctrine of evil true? Got to think about that. I should save more of my music files when I’m at my parent’s later. I want all my Arabic dance stuff and some more of my goth music. I miss it. Tomorrow night, I think I’ll go out dancing. I wonder what I should wear. I haven’t worn the vinyl minidress in a while. Maybe II will. ---

Wondering what a vinyl mini-dress feels like after dancing and being sweaty. Thinking I would bring something else to wear if that happens. I have refinancing paperwork to round up tonight. ---

Which would really just make them boneless breasts. Which is really what it’s all about, isn’t it? When news breaks, we fix it. For some reason the Elton John song with the line “Hold me closer, Tony Danza!” has been running through my head a lot lately. Which is just as scary as it sounds. ---

LolaCocaCola, I love Blue Highways too. Have you read River Horse? I have to finish a paper on Jay Gatsby as tragic hero today or I’ll take an F. It was due 11/20/02. I’d rather eat a bug, or dole out oral favors in jail, than finish it. Wah. ---

No, what’s River Horse? Another book by Least Heat Moon??? I guess I will go ahead and look it up now. Thanks for the tip! 🙂 * * * (More random thoughts) It is a sunny crisp day in the Big Apple…so many police vehicles every where… I love walking through the cool, dark marble lobby of Rockefeller Plaza… A very pregnant Brooke Shields is on the cover of this month’s Vogue… A very Chicago-esque Madonna is on the cover of this month’s W. I just had some chilled red seedless grapes… I wanna nap. ---

Mmmm… powdered sugar doughnuts. I want a new car, but I don’t _need_ a new car. My priorities are screwed up… I’m very unhappy that Megadeth broke up. Though I don’t mind that Newstead left Metallica. I need a vacation. Badly. Soon. Feeling vindictive toward my ex. Very vindictive. But what’s the point? _sigh_ ---

“I’ll always love you, but just not like that.” “Like what?” “I want to be honest with you. I met someone else.” “You did what!?!” “And I really, I really love him. Like I used to love you. Remember that time I told you I was going out of town on business? Well, I went to see him.” “You know what? You suck!” ---

It was 65 degrees here on Sunday. It’s snowing now. I want warm weather back, so I can grill some steak. For some reason, I just remembered a piece of advice from the Elbonians in an old Dilbert Cartoon: “In a race between a rock and a pig, don’t varnish your clams.” I have no idea what it means, but it’s probably good advice. I think I’ll go to the bar now. Think For Yourself. Question Authority. ---

I want a steak too. A pair of my cockatiels mated this morning. While they were in the middle of it they lost their balance and fell off the perch. The wind knocked down all my chimes last year. I put them back up this week and now I’m waiting for the wind to knock them down again.
