What should you do while you are waiting for a laxative to work its magic? (I ask you to just stretch your imaginations, kids...)
A. Watch a bunch of youtube videos of bands you love and have not yet seen in person (black lips, pj harvey, patty wolf)
B. Watch a bunch of youtube videos and post several on your blog
C. drink a lot of water
D. drink some beer
E. eat several spoons of dark chocolate dreams but not much else cause you hurt inside
F. wish you were a kid again
G. practice the accordion and vow, for the hundredth time, that you will have it professionally cleaned and valves replaced and bellow repaired
H. eat a banana
I. do math homework
J. pray that you won't still be running for the turlet when you have to go to work in the morning
K. find God
L. pet your rabbit
M. unfind God
N. buy more toilet paper
O. eat a Popsicle after you turn off the fans and AC because you're cold - strawberry or tropical?
P. wish you were a kid again, or at least 23
Q. look at the digital photos on your camera
R. worry about money and upcoming doctor bills
S. play with your leftover lunch, don't eat it, because you're afraid the tofu and soba noodles may explode into your abdominal cavity forever ruining the possibility of getting back the stomach you had at 17 (not to mention that kind of explosion would most likely be lethal because you live alone)
T. skip a volunteer meeting (after telling the chairlady/friend that you weren't feeling well, it's not like you stood them up)
U. comment on your own blog posts even before anyone has read them
Okay, a lot of options, but that's the way life is for us middle class folk. at least for now, before the recession turns into a depression.

so I've been playing around with my keyboard - it can do lots of stuff! I've always wanted to play the accordian. old school french troubadour. I have no idea how much they cost, but I just might invest in a used one in the next few months. I wonder if I still have my old guitar? maybe I could get that back from sarah if she's got it. it seems that it's pretty easy to pick up a used violin in this town. my sister's x-fiance had a few, and they're really fun to play with. the range of sounds you can produce is so different than those you get hitting random keys on a piano. I like.
can you tell I've been bored? enough tv already! I tried watching an episode from season 1 or 2 of beverly hills 90210 the other day - the one where brandon gets on the tv show - but I couldn't finish it! I feel like I've seen all the episodes already, I carry them around in my brain as part of the pop-culture collective unconscious. I have collected almost ONE HUNDRED post-it notes of ideas for scripts, an opera, novel, graphic novel, installation piece, songs, all written while I was at work. a burst of creativity that lasted 30 seconds. stopped typing and turning pages briefly, wrote it down, then back to work. I guess I should sift through all of them and see if there is anything that moves me, any idea that I connect with enough to develop.
I think instead of investing in expensive clothes, I'm going to start learning how to make my own: sewing, creating/following patterns, and learning about working with different fabrics. I remember the tiered skirts my granny pat used to make for my sister and I. simple and fabulous.
yes, I absolutely love this last picture.
so I read the his fourth album will have a lot of political material inspired by his recent touring in the US. whatever the subject matter, I'm sure I will love it. now I just need to track down a copy of wind in the wires...
