Remember him?
Spineless moronic little pussy?
Yeah, that's the guy.
Where was he?
Whining, complaining, and feeeling sorry for himself in general, natch...
3:40 pm, Monday, April 22, 1985
One thing that worries me about keeping a journal is that images and feelings tend to get replaced by words. I hope that doesn't happen. It probably would anyway but this might make it happen sooner.
I just smelled something that made me think of Arizona. Oranges or something.
It's getting dark very fast because a storm is coming up.
I just heard thunder.
I love it just before a storm because everything changes color and everyone gets this nervous energy and runs around - especially the animals.
The wind is picking up now.
Damn it's really windy and it's cold all of a sudden.
Lightning - yow!
This is great!
I just went in and got my jacket so I feel better.
I guess that was what they call an "interlude".
More about Madelon tomorrow.....
So I just got back from this trip.
Anaxarete, Wave and I all went to Chicago for a few days, then went on to Wisconsin for a week.
Lemme tell ya what happened....
We always book hotels via hotwire.com.
It's really fun to not know where you're staying till you commit, and we always get a good deal.
We ended up at the W hotel this time.
Lollapalooza was happening just down the street ( 
) so all the bands were staying at our hotel ( ).
Did I ever tell you about the time my band played lollapalooza for two weeks in '94?
ANYWAY, the W is a hipper than thou (it wishes) hotel.
The lobby is a bar where businessmen drink scotch and make deals and feel cool in general cause they're so lame.
I realized Waveland is a great way to annoy these guys. I just let him toddle around among them, cooing and drooling, they in their Armani suits (or whatever "hip" businessmen are wearing these days), Wave in his diapers, and I in my dirty shorts and Judas Priest t shirt.
It's funny how uptight those guys were, studiously ignoring Wave and I, but it was really fun letting him go and do whatever he wanted and not apologizing!
NO ONE IS HIPPER OR COOLER THAN WAVE AND I!
WE RULE!
So here's the stuff you can buy in the room if you really wanna be really cool:
And here's how much it costs:
It's so businessmen can impress whatever lame chick they pick up in the bar downstairs!
So we went to the Cubs game on Friday, which they lost, but Wave didn't know any better so he clapped anyway:
Here's where Waveland got his name:
Then, on our way to the train station, we figured we'd keep our eyes open for the store where LadyKali works.
We didn't know anything about where it was except the general neighborhood, and that it was a bookstore.
We soon saw such a store and thought what the hell, let's peek in!
And guess what?
She was there!
In person!
LadyKali!!!
I was so not expecting it to work!
So what cool witty thing did I say?
Well, she was helping some customers and I interrupted and ejaculated:
"Do I look familiar?!?!?"
"No"
"You don't look at my page enough!" I paried. I continued impishly:
"Does Afterbirth and Anaxarete sound familiar?"
Well, she figured it out, but she looked terrified, embarrassed and confused all at the same time, which I assume she was, poor thing.
Well, I hung around for a minute or two, said a few strupid things which she can probably remember better than I can, made her shake my hand, and we left.
I didn't tell her we were coming cause I didn't want to make a big deal of it and make her feel obliged to meet us.
Plus I like to leave things to fate.
In retrospect I think maybe I should have warned her...
I've noticed she and I don't have lots of friends in common here, and I suggest that those of you who don't know her should go check her out sometimes.
She's funny cause she thinks she's smarter than me.
I like girls who think they're smarter than me.
Question of the day:
Do you think you're smarter than me?
