- recovering.
last night i meandered down to the local mountain people bar. Malone's Pub and Grub. "If you're not between the M and the E, you're Alone." my neighbor made that slogan up.
it was my first time in this bar. i armed myself. nothing better than drinking with the comforting weight of a weapon concealed on your body.
i've always been a cash only barfly in the past. i figure, you can't go too overboard if you only have so much to spend. last night i slapped a credit card on the bar and told the bartender to start me a tab. she was more than happy to.
i realized later that i had made a mistake when i signed a $60 credit slip. money hasn't been an issue for me for a while now; the mistake was in what $60 will get you at a dirty little mountain bar.
driving to work this morning was a little odd. i still made it here before 7:30am.
my waking dream had me stuck in another mountain town somewhere else. i was eating with a large group of people on some public patio.
my waking dreams are usually serial, in 9 minute episodes. my alarm goes off every 9 minutes until i get out of bed.
in the first episode i meet the CEO of a small local software company. she's 20 or so, with large breasts.
in the second episode i realize my parents have abandoned me in this mountain town. i am warned by a variety of people to stay away from CEO woman.
in the third episode the CEO woman now claims to be 19. she tells me she makes half a million a year. she shows me her breasts and removes her underwear from under her skirt. before i can stop her, someone interupts.
in the fourth episode i learn she is 18. everyone in the town works for her. i see her, but she looks different.
i wake up, drink my water and take my B-complex. i discuss the dream with my cat and we come to the conclusion that there are only three things important to me.
sex, money and power.
all this time i had myself pegged as different than the other guys.
needless to say, my cat is very disappointed in me.

sheila is:
- ruthlessly getting rid of stuff. three days to sort it, stack it, torch it, give it away. no saving, no recycling, out with it all.
having had a taste of being online while ostensibly at work, i am now tortured each minute i cannot have it. how do you guys accomplish anything when sorabjiland is immediately available?
yesterday after WP school (a complete waste of my time and their money), i went to some garage sales and ended up having lunch in a 60s style diner where they play oldies constantly. during my veggieburger, i heard the New Christy Minstrels singing "Green Green" and thought not only do i remember that, but one of those guys is taking me flying over Jupiter in three days. i am still dazzled by being with someone who actually knew and sang with The Byrds, Dylan, The Mamas and Papas, all those folky heroes of yesteryear. of course now he mainly talks about how his daughter is on the honor roll since the third grade, blah blah. then i think, "these people probably feel like their Grandma is admiring Lawrence Welk, how pathetic." oh to be in my eighties once more, the nineties are killing me.
the peonies pop today. when it's time it's time, although i really wanted them to hold off until Tuesday.
people keep warning us about being shot down over the yurts, and they are serious. after the Yosemite murders, you all know who lives around here. a few nights ago we rescured some boy who had come up to see the sunset and his car broke down; all the time i thought he could be a baby-faced killer, we don't know. but he was just a boy, happy to be rescued. this crap has made me not just more alert, but more afraid, and i hate that. but it would be stupid to think it could never happen to me. i already know that anything can happen to me.

agatha is:
- panicking. i have ten days until my show. so very much to do. last night, i was up with the middle of the night rush of unwelcome thought phenomenon. i just wanted to go to sleep, i ended up writing in my journal and outlining what i need to get done each and every day of this next week. also, my good friend arrives tomorrow for two weeks, she will be staying here with her one year old daughter cyan and her dog ivar. i want to have enough time to spend with her. i am ripping at the seams. it may get ugly if i pop. look out.
on the up side, it is really beautiful out today. and, it is technically a three day weekend.

and she's pretty, too. all sparkly blue and silver with those sexy little real-time control knobs.
this is the best relationship i've had in years.
digital technology is a truly beautiful thing.
agatha, good luck with your show.

dammit.
i've got so many cords running across the floor and up the walls of this apartmemt that if i tripped over one of them i'd end up accidentally lynching myself with another.
the other night i synthesized a hendrix guitar sound that was right on the money. used it as the driving force behind "stungunlove".
two days and three trips to sam ash later, i'm still trying to get this laptop to communicate with the synthesizer so i can lay the track down.
all the extra hardware i've had to get for this laptop to be midi-compatible is making me want to dust off the powermac and get back on the applewagon.
dammit.
digital music production gear.

i guess i oughtta go. they're going to be taking off out of the country soon and i won't get to see them for a while. besides that, i really should get the hell out of this apartment. i've been on vacation since last thursday and have only left to go out to pick up gear for the new synth, beer to feed the beast, kaya to inspire, and sooki-sooki for distraction.
the sooki-sooki was bad kung fu.
phone keeps ringing but i have nothing to say.
thank god for caller id.

And wondering when my right ear is gonna finally pop. S'been more than 34 hrs. since I landed.
NY was hot. Nearly as hot as here. And the pre-wedding running around was extremely stressful. (Note to self: If you ever get married /elope. Go off on a 6 wk. honeymoon/& have a feast-cum- reception afterwards.)
But the ceremony came off right nice.
And I got to sepnd time w/my girl in BKlyn/whose housemate is a pisser.
Thinking that I'm the only person in America w/out Caller I.D. But I refuse to pay $7.00/month for something my answering machine does for free. Fuck 'em if they don't leave a message!
Came home to find New Furniture in the crib! The Parental Units went out & bought me the rattan- &-wrought-iron baker's rack that matches my dining rm. chairs while I was gone (it was on sale). Obstensibly to use as a china closet. (As if I owned any china.) Still/t'was a nice surprise. Six likes to climb up & perch herself on it.

a little dionystic indulgence of the meatmobile is rarely a bad thing. let go, ride it out, have fun, trust your instincts, say what you mean, prepare for consequences. pay attention to that sensation coming out of your sternum and you'll be just fine.

Because I have a real job and a real life and cannot be on the net 24-7 I can't adequatley defend myself and my admittedly silly antics against those self-important moral crusaders who have seen fit to skewer me for relatively minor infractions of protocol. It's a shame really because some of you seemed kind of cool but fuck it, I don't need your acceptance and I surely don't need your stupidass criticism. Who the fuck are you and what do you do to earn the right to judge me? You suck!
So, as I am sure you will rejoice to hear, this is it for me. No more Therrien to shame. Have a nice life, if you get one. Go fuck yourselves, and use lots of the yellow stuff.

I guess he/she shoulda realized that when you post on this page, be prepared to meet a whole bunch of "Gods." Toughen up, you'll get used to it. Especially when you find out that everyone here is just like you. Normal, judgemental, everyday people. Not to bad all in all. Besides, it's much more fun to play. A nice little conflict here and there keeps things amusing. For me, anyway.

Humiliating Moment
At one Guitar Recital that I gave, I introduced a Sarabande (slow musical piece usually in �) by JS Bach and wound up playing a Samba by Villa-Lobos, stopping halfway through (I held my arm out like a traffic cop and everyone fell silent) The humiliation was that I had to explain why it happened and I really couldn't (my parents were in the audience)
Craziest idea or silliest
Genetically grafting a parrot and a lizard to see what I get.
What do you look for in the opposite sex
A big slut
