You know I'm with it Ms. Aquarius.
I dig stuff like eastern medicine and whatnot. Check out eastern philosophy, Taoism, the I-Ching.

Stuff that brain of yours. Yeah the bible's a hard book to get through.
But history actually I find really interesting. It's just that most teachers make it boring.
History is the answer to the question: What the frick happened?!?
We don't know what the future will be, and even present is too hard to figure out. It's only until you look back at the past can you really figure out what's going on *now*.

History is always interesting when it's something that you know and care about. Here's some interesting history assignments: the history of LSD. Did you know it had been around since the 40's, the CIA gave it to their own agents for kicks, Cary Grant took it legally from his psychiatrist in the 60's. Or... the history of your hometown. Read up on what was going on on your block 100 years ago? Do you know?
Okay this comment's already too long...

*raises hand*

ps...you should wear your glasses in your sets more...they look sooooo freakin' adorable on you!

ginger is also good for indigestion. and just for general happiness - i a good *strong* ginger ale.

and tea tree oil really does do the trick, despite the taste. and it smells nice.

you MUST share this thai iced tea recipe with me. i am such a thai iced tea addict. mmmm, tea!

-ff

Hey dearie! its nice to hear from you. i think i need a great escape for a temporary few moments. nothing serious. so don't take what i said as so. you and a certain person. who will forever remember me as the sock fetishist. need to come to a coffee shop with me and drown away sorrows and share secrets.

That pain in you butt/leg might be you psiatic nerve. It can get pinched in your lower vertebre/coccyx area. It produces a dull, constant and annoying ache.
You can help it by some long, slow, deep - stretching (shame on your dirty mind). If that doesn't help - then you might need to visit a professional.
Good Luck.

"HOLY COW!!!"

Did you intend that pun???!

Heeheehee. You said "Holy Cow." I thought I was the only one that said that.

Really. You should do a search on the boards for "Holy Cow". I'll bet you come up with nothing. I sent a "Holy Cow' to Al's journal comments once. I'd call dibbs but I am a big fan of Holy Cow and wouldn't want to discourage its use.

Wouldn't that be funny? Search the boards for people's favorite exclamations? How many hits do you get on "Holy Moley"? "Goddamnit"? "Jesus Christ in a Chickenbasket"? "Holy Eight-Legged Hopping Fucks"?

I am so polite that I am frequently mistaken for gay. Does that earn me boobies? Maybe just one boobie? I suppose the color photos will have to suffice.

wait... I thought gay boys didn't like boobies...

I was there too!

gonna miss you
please come visit!

if you're coming to PDX before November let me know when...
I'm going to shoot a massive pillow fight on a soundstage. It's going to be fun. of course there's no $. but if I keep having fun there will be...for everyone.

will you draw on my feet some more before i go?

and you had how much acid???????

speaking of acid...go to www.drugmusic.com
and check out the king black acid video

the stripmalls exist because the freeways exist. before the freeways and the super highways you had to drive through every little town all across the country and there were all sorts of little family owned shops that were different from city to city, surviving on tourism and travellers.

since the freeways came those shops closed because people mostly bypassed whatever little towns they were in, until the only shops that could survive were wallmarts and kfc's that provided people driving quickly from one pointless place to another pointless place the same exact thing they got at home no matter where they went.

and in towns where the kmarts and outlets couldn't even survive there are ghosts towns cause all the jobs left and anyway without a grocery store you don't have much of a town.

i see green and gray and red and brown, and the beautiful dark blue of a river.

Oh now you want someone just to buy you the duck and wild rice? Well that's different. I assume you want it cooked for you as well.

The various good places to have duck locally (Seattle) are Brasa, Canlis, and Campagne. If you are in San Francisco, Bacar does an amazing duck and foie gras sausage as well as a nice roast duck breast. You could also checkout MC2 as they have a nice duck preparation.

But if you are being adventurous and hoping that someone actually buys you the ingredients and either cooks for you or convinces you to cook, you should hope for a nice Long Island Duck and most any organic wild rice will do (if that's what you're craving). Since duck is so rich your side dishes need some power to keep up with the duck or at least bring out the flavors of the bird or compliment the subtleties of the wine.

My usual preparation is the aforementioned honey lavender roast duck, served with spicy greens and seasonal mushrooms, and either garlic or horseradish mashed potatoes. The wine would be an Oregon Pinot Noir, although the last time I made this preparation, I served it with a Californian Pinot Noir from Napa.

If I were to use wild rice, Id probably go with a cherry (or some kind of berry) reduction to bring out the fruitiness of the wild rice. Id probably roast the duck with a combination of cracked black pepper and sage rubbed all over the outside and inside. I might do a fennel and apple salad just for fun. The wine would probably be a red Chateuneuf-du-Ppe or a red Hermitage. But thats just me.

it's the history that gets me too. it's just so intense to be somewhere, especially a church graveyard, where there are people buried there who were alive a thousand years ago, it just feels different. in a way that very few places in america can really do. cities that have grown, over time, over a long time, without a plan, without an ikea catalog or a civic planning department or whatever. just grown cause things happened, and people moved and wars and rulers and stuff. it's intense, i like just walking around and taking it all in. you can totally feel the stories of everyone as you look at stuff.

i remember in belgium, we were at a museum and across the street was an old apartment building that had been firebombed years ago, the glass was broken and just a chair was sitting in with the wreckage and the broken sign across the front said something about being a socialist group. it was amazing, you just don't have that kind of history in america. it's incredible.

you should come visit :-) ok i know that it's not going to happen, but you would love it here i think.

do i need to double post to show that i love talking with you too? ;-)

at least you were able to fit the sex in.....

What the answer is?
