a friend asked me to write a story about portable toilets. i was reading italo calvino, and came to the word "gunboat", i wrote a story about a battle at sea happening inside the chemical pit of a portable toilet.

inspiration is everywhere, if you refuse to look for it.

i heart john cage. and i heart mushroom gathering.
aster:
we need to go for coffee someday.
pharaoh:
you mean the fun mushrooms??? i love that kind.

next, will you write a story about the one day when all the non-smokers smoked? the original reason for this was that they were all sad over something, but they're has to be a much cooler reason.

no?

okay.

it's the book store event marathon.

pharaoh:
i'm about halfway done and so far i love the book, but damn! two typos! i should edit books. that shit never gets past me. i'm always baffled at how misspellings can make it into print.

i'm gonna have to pass that onto my dad when i'm done.

it's the field of dreams guy, right?

bennington rejected my application.

my grandfather is 88, and needs surgery because he may have cancer.

my friend wes is gone, and "someone" doesn't really seem interested.

okay, so that would be a hell of a lot of bad news for one week. life-changing bad news.

but, to hell with it. bring it on. i can take it.

if you need a cheer-up, listen to these things i've overheard recently:

"I'm in the market for Star Trek sheets."

"More stress in your life can lead to better health."

and the best one -

"So you're suckin' a days worth of toe."

all things i never would have expected to hear.
pharaoh:
not only did i already kill the sexplayer, and the bass player, but it killed BOTH bass players.

GVSB - music for burglarizing houses. just think about it...
it's perfect for a movie.

i'm feeling angry lately. i want to read something beautiful (but not fluffy) to soothe me. recommendations?
long, short, it doesn't matter.

i might just re-read Gatsby. i fucking love that book.

a local writer, and regular visiter to my book store passed away. i considered him a friend.

"someone" seems completely disinterested.

so, that was my day.
aster:
sigh. something must have changed...sad to hear it, though. i'm finding it tough to decipher the vagaries of the heart. frown
