Time for an update...I have to admit to liking the new hair now...And I love being able to play with photoshop!!!!

But, onto other life news....My sister has been having a horrible recovery from surgery. My mum and step-dad visit her once a week and had to rush her to the emergency room. It turns out she has developed a rare bacterial infection from lack...

love the hair, and agree with one of the above posters, about the 2nd pic, gorgeous.

Hopefully it all clears up soon for your sis.

Just thought you might like to hear how you inspired me to inspire the band. We're beginning recording a debut/farewell album tomorrow (we moved my studio yesterday from my house which is not a place to play loud music to my drummer's barn which we soundproofed and redid a while back) and aside from 11 original songs I wrote, and one the drummer wrote, we were only going to do one cover, "Love Will Keep Us Together," just because we did it as a joke and the audience loved it (it's a bit mor acid-edged than the original). anyway, I was working out a solo acoustic arrangement for Jokerman that you inspired and while singing it, they thought I wrote it, and I said "No; it's another in the long list of Dylan songs I WISH I'd written."

They all decided we should record it, and during rehearsal it segued nicely into Marley's "Stir It Up," so two Bobs will be represented on our album. Jokermnan's pretty reggae the way we're doing it - I wouldn't let them listen to Bob's versions so it would really be our arrangement with me being the only one prejudiced by the original.

Thanks! kiss kiss

Yes he is very cute, I love him so much, but they do take a look of work to stay happy, they need lots of love and exercise and room to play and lots of stuff for them to play with.

What about gizmo makes you so happy? Why are things not going good with your boytoy?

I had the haircut (or, more accurately, an almost complete lack of hair) up until 7 or 8 weeks ago...
partial liver transplant? could work... but then again, I couldn't have the scar tissue on my conscience. or the minor inconvenience of you not having a whole, hale, healthy liver
ikaruga:
curses.

you have just used both pfffft and pshaw, which prevents me from using them. foiled once again. good idea, but I think that if I was going to get a liver transplant, I'd wait until the current one craps out on me. I'm going to have a couple of years of sobriety if this happens, so I'm in no hurry for this to happen.

also, and more importantly, I can think of better reasons to visit the states than a partial liver transplant...

my sister had her exploratory surgery today to see if the cancer spread to her lymphnodes..the doctor said it looks as though it didn't - which is so good to know! They have to run the rest of the tests - but it looks as though she will be okay to have the mastectomy and reconstruction - this month...She is glowing green from the radioactive...

I was amazing the other day...tonight - not so much...I have no small human this weekend and I am spending my Saturday night at work...I am trolling for pity and sympathy...I am the only person in my office and campus police just locked me into the building....Kind of scary - I am having visions of murderous ex-interns coming back to kill me.....

Love the new profile pic! The colour looks great on you!

Sorry you were locked up by the campus police. When I was in college the first time, a girl on my floor was KNOCKED up by the campus police. Girl was apparently kaboodled and in blackout mode, or possibly passed out. Big scandal ensued but nothing ever camoe out of it -of course, this was in a city where the mayor got videotaped with a hooker, buying crack, and got reelected, so go figure. Hope you got out okay.

I played "3 Drunk Newts" for you last night.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
Wheeeee!!
Three drunk newts, three drunk newts.
See how they crawl; see how they crawl.
Creeping down your legs and feet,
Looking for a snack to eat,
They can't even keep the beat.
Three drunk newts, three drunk newts.

Three stoned newts, three stoned newts.
High as kites, Yeah! High as kites.
They rumble in the parking lot,
They score a lid of seedless pot.
Really hope they don't get caught,
Three stoned newts, Yo! three stoned newts.

Three wild newts, three wild newts.
Causing a big scene, they're rowdy as can be.
They licky sticky loopy juice,
They're out to punish and abuse.
Look out! 'Cause they're on the loose.
Three wild newts, three wild newts.

Look at their tails; aren't they pretty?
Look at their tails, itty-fitty,
Wish I had a tail . . .
. . . But I don't!!
(Boy, We're high tongiht!!! Like, really high!! Let's got get us some some
women....how a man does!! Salamander....!!)

Let me tell you a tale about a trio of hot newts on parade....
They had Saturday Newt Fever and . . .
They was burning....
. . . But they got a little too hot, dig?

Three dead newts, three dead newts.
See how they rot, see how they rot.
Left out in the noonday sun,
dry and stiff and too well done.
That's the end of their newt fun.
Three dead newts,
three dead newts,
three dead newts....

[Spoken]
They're gone now,
they've lived life too hard....
Yeah, bye newts, goodbye....
bye....
sleep good....
sweet dreams....

YEAH....!!

I played a lot last night, and with a sprained wrist I've been working with and riding the Harley with for two weeks. It's really swollen now. The deal was a garand for 3 hours with a half hour break, but I played solo an hour early and then the whole band played from 10 to 3 with 2 breaks. I'll post the setlist when I finish screwing my head back on. I must have drunk several pots of coffee and a couple gallons of water last night. The at 5 a, when I got home I couldn't sleep. But, man, could I piss!!!

Anyway, the gig was for a large fraternity and they said they'll have us back. Guess they were drunk enough not to realize we're not that good. But we can fake it and ad lib all night and what we (actually, I'm the only talentless one) lack in skill, we (I) replace with mindless energy. Actually, I've had stage fright every time I've performed in front of an audience, be it music, acting, public speaking, teaching or satisfying former lovers' exhibitionist streaks (pun not originally intended, but I think I'll keep it). In some of those situations, like music, I can take that intense fear and channel it into performance energy.

Okay, enough rambling. I hurt and I yuawn and I gotta get up at 6 tomorrow and I haven't put away the 3 guitars, bass, keyboard, microphones, effects boards and all the other crap yet, so I have to go proscratinate some more beforew I blow it off and go to bed.

I really hope your'e all right. kiss

pilkington:
I have a confession.
I've never actually read the Joyce story.
(puts up right hand) I saw the musical.
I think I liked the story better.

Current fav Irish writer: Beckett
Why? I'm the dramaturg at the Utah Beckett Festival
In the next few days, I will learn more about Beckett than anyone should ever know.
For example, Beckett's burial wishes were that he should be flushed down the toilet in the Trinity Theatre fifteen minutes from go time. Was he joking? Possibly. Did it happen? Yes.

Beckett is *the* vaudevillian.

Cheers,
Dev

How amazing am I? (that is not attention-whoring - it's rhetorical!) (but - if you care to weigh in on the subject - I would not object! wink I have almost finished the mid-term (due tomorrow) - managed writing more about federalism and the influence of Locke on the bill of rights and the applicability of negative rights as they conflict with positive rights - more...

I am getting so good at this updating thing! Many thanks to GiggleStar for the swearing pointers. Being me - I am such an adolescent - I taught the class (before the professor arrived) on how to swear! biggrin

I had such a better day today! I think spending too much time at home sick - is bad...Not just the whole sick part, but it seems...

Glad you're doing better! I give people oft-unvocalized private monickers too! There was a great Friends episode with Ross and his naming of his students and someone maybe Monica says something about how they'll call HIM Professor McNailshisstudents

Love the private asides you thunk while saying stuff to Bouncer Boy.

Perhaps I'll do a lizard song for you at the big Hallowe'en gig we have bookedSaturday night. I don't see why not. After all, as a great (or mayhap just twisted) man once said:

I AM THE LIZARD KING! AND I CAN DO ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!

northern:
Have I mentioned how hot you are?

Okay, so I have a thing for smart chicks. wink

I love reading your conversation transcripts.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I say you must go for it with sarcastic psych boy. I don't necessarily mean in terms of a relationship. But it's clear you do like him, and hey, you'd feel so dirty, it'd be incredible.

Okay, what the hell am I thinking posting all this?

I am finally feeling 1/3 human today! But, my baby lizard died last night...My poor son, he was SOOO sad...I love this child to pieces - he got a box, lined it with sand and then put her in the refrigerator (until the funeral)...I thought the sand liner was cute as hell because she lives in sand and just in case she needs it in...

so you're a football fan, huh? what teams do you root for? i was pissed the Steelers weren't able to pull that one off against atlanta. and i cant believe the Raiders finally got a win! they used to be my other team, but i hardly follow them anymore!
northern:
I'm a total waste in French, despite six years of trying to learn it, even with tutors.

Sorry to hear about the lizard. Your son sounds sweet.

Glad you're feeling 1/3 human.

But I need to ask - what does the other 2/3's feel like?
