ear infection ear infection ear infection.
fuck i hate these things. i get 'em once or twice a year. same with sinus infections. why couldn't it happen during WORK, why is it going on during this event-filled weekend??? missed two good shows last night same with tonight. oh well...
at least yesterday i had a fun-filled day --
met friends at this crepe place where i decided they should be called "freedom eggs" and i macked on the waittress, think i succeeded fairly well, too. not sure. that's a tricky situation since these people are basically paid to be nice to you let's face it and also they must get hit on so constantly -- so i went for the subtle mack, anyway she is cute and the eggs tasted like freedom.
wandering around in the unexpected sunlight i ran into another friend minutes later she said "want to join in the march downtown"? i said sure & put $$ in the parking meter and joined her -- no march at that time but there were speakers and the scene was kinda small and a little lame at the time in terms of the people on the podium -- obvious guy "anarchist" rhetoric, looney guy rhetoric, crazy nun lady rhetoric who says that chick from olywa who got crushed by the israelis was in the "right place at the right time"??? -- dude she got crushed by a tank or was it a bulldozer anyway that's just fucked you know?, and finally one voice of reason and actual thought provided by tom morello from rage against the machine/ audioslave (who played down the street last night.)
people were outnumbered by cops in heavy duty storm trooper battlestar galactica riot gear. it was very surreal, except you know, it was REAL. especially after the wto...
walked back to my car with my pal and she is detoxing off of anti-depressants at the same time she is sort of seeing 4 guys and the one she's in love with has a girlfriend he lives with. so there was lots to talk about and that whole scene took up several hours.
went to the excellent sandwich place where they grill the sammiches just right, ran into another friend, an excellent music writer who moved to seattle and is broke, living with his girlfriend he doesn't like right now, and very depressed especially since freelance $$ for music writing is soooo low these days and there are like no staff positions in our field like, anywhere... i tried to cheer him up but did not succeed i do not think.
went in to work for an hour to finesse the elliott sharp interview for bomb, then headed to the dollar theater which now costs three bucks to see a huge crowd waiting outside -- so my friends and i missed "catch me if you can" (wanted something mindless) -- and i not-thinkingly suggested "city of god" which is very very violent and though an amazing film (one of the best in ages methinks) the two women in the party were fucking pissed off at me for suggesting it so afterwards we just split up -- rather than something really fun, like scrabble, or sex.
i slept longer than i have in months -- 12 hours i think!!! such decadence! if only my ear didn't fucking hurt so much. off to the megachain drugstore (cue the fall's version of "mr. pharmacist")

I don't know what you look like so I can only guess as to the final effect of this but I think you should put an advert in your next 'zine of you holding a crepe in one hand, giving a thumbs-up with the other, an incredibly slimy leer on your face in extreme show-every-mole-and-pore close-up and the words 'tastes like FREEDOM!' below.
I can't remember who mentioned this to me, but you can defeat any member of The Establishment ™ by making Rage Against The Machine guitar noises with your mouth. Just walk up to your friendly neighborhood representative of The Man ™ and say BOW WOW WICCA WOW WOW WICCA WICCA WICCA and he will start frothing at the mouth and then his face will melt, as if he watched Belloq and Toht open the Ark of the Covenant.
A question : which is more fun, sex, Scrabble, or some concoction of the two that leaves both players sticky, sweaty, and covered in little wooden tiles?
Here's hoping that you can lose the -ache part of 'earache' before you go Van Gogh on us and lose the ear- part.
Sounds like a wonderful Sunday...
