b-day party for little nephew in few hours. things have been getting wierder between his mother (my sister) & my bro-in law. my sister showed me a letter that his mother had written her a few months back in which she calls my sister a "wacko"--her primary offence being that she's a practicing wiccan.

experiencing a weird sense of deja-vu all over again: first, about a week ago or so I started noticing ads for a NEW Steven Segal movie. today: ads for a NEW BODY SWITCHING MOVIE (the Hot Chick). did it become 1989 all the sudden without any mention of it in the papers?
ponderous, man. really ponderous.

my night off.
listening to the first bit of a mix tape I made for friend in Wisconsin about a week ago. to make sure I don't repeat anything.
grim joke for today: for all I know, everybody else in the world already knows the punchline--but just in case--

last night there was a bit of an incident at the prison, which I'll try & relate as it unspooled for me:
I was posted in a C.P., or Command Post, which is a little nest of concrete, steel bars & plexi-glass overlooking one of the exercise yards & one of the chow-halls. my job is pretty much to pop open doors & provide gun...

I agree. These stories are great.
orchid1:
I really like these stories too because I never expect the endings! The racoon thing makes so much sense!
I was driving with my Dad and my sister and the car was full of branches and tree bits and so on. We were going to the mulch drop point. And my sister is saying how its so crowded in the back and my Dad says Imagine how much more crowded it'd be if there were 1000 hamsters in here too. And so I say, no I'll bet more than a thousand could fit...and we calculate the average hamster size and the interior space of the car...some where just over 300,000 hamsters could fit. We also added up how many could fit under the seats, in the glove box, etc.
Thats alot of hamsters. We preferred not to think about the hamsters on the bottom of the stack...

we're about a week into Ramadan.
I got to thinking the other night about the Muslim community in this town. there are maybe a bit over a hundred, & they're all at the prison. same with the Black community (there's kind of an overlap there, all of the Muslims are Black Muslims), the Hispanic community-- pretty much any group of people that isn't white &...

Wow.. do you work in a prison? I have a fascination with prisons and prisoners. Not that I have a particular love for either but prisoners strike me as the lost people of our society. I realize it's not nearly as bad here as in other prisons around the world but, really, we simply lock them up and forget about them. At least in the political sense.
Yes, most of them have committed crimes that probably warranted them being there. But regardless of how heinous the crim, in some sense they are still the same as us. Aren't they?

Looking at just how hideously white my hometown is bothers me a bit once I get out and look around the rest/real world. I always knew it was but until I saw something different consistently I never really felt it.
dang.
12 thousand things I'd like to write about, but the machinery's gotten so rusty it scares me.
I used to churn out--no exaggeration--maybe 200 pages of handwritten material & a few dozen typewritten pages PER WEEK. now I'm lucky if I can get an email or two that I don't delete before sending.
it's not writer's block--I learned to conquer that a while ago...

Having Ani and the indigo girls on your list is swoonworthy.
And "oingo boingo" is so much fun to say I can't believe it.

I'm wondering if "the Powerpuff Girls" Movie was such a good choice for a first date.
but I really wanted to see it.
ah well. masturbation again for ME.

I think I'm FINALLY getting the required calluses on my left fingertips for playing guitar--the hand still tends to spaz out when seeking chords, but at least I can press down when I finally find 'em without wincing.

Yeah I hear that alot of people love Stendhal in general and especially Red and Black. But I just can't get into it. Its feels like wading through mud sometimes. But what can you do? Maybe tis an aquired taste. Or one I'll develop with age...or maybe I'm missing its draw altogether, who knows.

I used to love it when I got viola callouses. And the chin rest mark ("viola hickey"). Yay!
vote, please.

Here here! No one is forcing anyone to get married so they really shouldn't care. I voted! It was my first time!

I vote everytime there are elections!

man, I wish I'd inherit a piano. Not that I have a place for one but, anyway. (Cat! loves instruments)
Teehee, yes, indeed the founding fathers were not random horny internet guys. Of course, who's to say they would not have been had they had internet access?

Keep it!
It may be extremely cumbersome but inheritence..uh...items...are usually things that you decide you want later.
