being stoned at 6 am and listening to http://www.3wk.com.

sleep would be good if i could face it. i'm thinking to much about this boy i love. crazy huh? we go through life casting aside so many realtionships because somehow, they just don't "fit". then we find one. and for awhile it seems perfect. i'm splitting town while it's still sweet. i think facing sourness on this one would be a terrible, terrible thing. there are so few things i'm unable to deal with. this could be one.

waffleboy. thankyou. i like being pretty. you're pretty too and you take pretty pretty pictures. my best friend took the one on my page. she's a cunt but she sees the world sweetly through a lens. i suppose you understand this concept. in art, our worlds appear so different.

just got back from doing laundry and listening to the new CMJ disc, Screwball is currently playing and the song is called Fuck All Ya Bitch Ass Niggas. Apparently its about those who turn their back on the 'hood.

Hmm.

I am looking forward to the Skunk Anansie, Pietasters, Santana, Public Enemy, Drain STH and Dr. Opp tracks. tricky has just started playing. Suprisingly mellow!

settling in after a long day and a long night.

going to be even longer. can't even think about sleeping. i popped open the good bottle of red i got in Napa last month. it wasn't on the tasting list that day, but the description said "soft and supple". i said to the guy behind the counter, "i gotta try anything that's described as soft and supple". he said, "well, i'm soft and supple."

he popped open a bottle especially for me. it was the nect so i bought four bottles. then he asked me to come behind the tall wooden counter where he was serving. paula took a photo of us kissing.

i'm all wound up thinking about surfing tomorrow. we're having a really nice swell due to the hurricanes a few hundred miles south of us. i'd like to go right now but surfing in the dark with no moonlight is, well... not to mention a coupla glasses of red. probably not a good idea. so i shall surf the sheets just as soon as i can calm myself down.

where is the milk drinker when i need him?

delaying a house cleaning. My dad and Aunt (and possibly cousin) are stopping over for a night on their way to st. Louis tuesday. It's only for that night, so we probably won't do too much special. I'm listening to quixote again. I advise seeing these guys if you get the chance, relly good indie rock, kind of like fugazi meets hum meets sugar.

recalling a year or two ago when an 18 year-old UI student with a bright future and promising football career was sentenced to ten years in prison for consensual sex with his girlfriend on her 16th birthday.

We got the honorable mention for "Noisiest Three-Piece": about $40 worth of tapes and CDs.

Next time we need to dress like Teletubbies or something. Apparently the judges were giving dress-points.

He wuz robbed!

A few of the bands were better, one was a shoe-in for top prize (a very good local blues three piece).

Two that placed above him just sucked. One where the lead guitarist had enough soul to maybe BUY a Santana CD, not play it, for god's sake. Another that our freind described as having a voice "That sounded like what a cat getting castrated might sound like."

Ah, but one of them had these red, white and blue coordinated shirts, and the other had matching T-shirts. Both bands played one truly awful original each. So they got extra points. So much for talent.

But I'm not just a little biased.

About to go get me my oral contraceptives. Gots to luv them oral contraceptives. I have not yet conceived, not even ill-conceived or mis-conceived. Yes, I highly recommend oral contraceptives for anyone whose biology they DON'T fuck with hardcore.
Sorry to hear Simon was damned with faint praise at the Battle O' the Bands.

Maybe they need judges who might actually know what to listen for in a rock band, not by how much they pay attention to the lessons of the spice girls. Jeez!

Man, this summer is flying by. Can't believe It's nearly september.

i have half the fucking coral reef from waikiki embedded in the heel of my right foot. i've been trying to dig it out unsuccessfully. now it's just sore and bloody and burning from hydrogen peroxide. i'm also sunburnt, which pisses me off to no end. i don't need any more wrinkles.

listen to me. christ almighty i really shouldn't complain. it's worth it. i got some great rides today.

off to the slack key guitar festival!

i had red wine and chocolate haagen daz for dinner.



is that in the zone?

Sarah, I like your style. You can fix me dinner anytime. That fits in my zone: Chocolate! I have to have chocolate at least once a week. Don't even try to get between me and my chocolate.

Busy day today. I found out over the weekend that the library aide position at the high school is open. Yipee! I might not have to ride the small bus with the mal-contents. The kids are a pain sometimes too.

I love libraries. I envision myself as the reincarnation of Marion the Librarian. Ban a book? Not in MY library you won't!

Looking for Ron Carlson and womentype mythology books at the York U library. This website looks REALLY different on a Netscape browser. The font is really really tiny and the messages go all the way across the screen. On my IE browse at home the text is a lot bigger, and the messages posted only stick to the left side of the screen.

But I digress. I'm signing out that Lost Goddesses book again, and I'm on my way to grab a new Ron Carlson book! WooHoo!!

sitting here in my last pair of clean underwear and writing a bunch of posts that really mean nothing but i have an hour to waste so i figure i might as well. the realtor hasnt called me yet and i'm supposed to be moving in 5 days. yes, im a wee bit nervous.

$15.95 in your local bookstores.

she said hello,
her tongue brazen with glistening saliva
verification she is real
hands hold hips like the helm of a mighty ship
sailing west, she is travelling to new lands
never leaving the house
pinning me against that wall
she had me between myself and tomorrow
which one came first, we would see
whispering into my ear
her voice did dances on my drums
taunting and teasing, what's the word for verbal foreplay?
convinced her breath harbored imp's of lust, biting my flesh
she held me captivated
her hand mapping out my stomach and chest
praying for sit-ups, wishing for crunches
she seems not to mind
she says in my ear "i have taken the pills...what will you do?"
I am collapsing with fright..........she is not only the first, but it appears the last.....
her eyes still choke-chained around my heart,
i swallow her palm, containing my fatal consumption
I am man I suppose, going first would be unthinkable
she is two minutes behind...
i fear those 120 seconds more than anything you know.
she will take my heart
left am I with an empty corpse and a frightened mind
my soul left prior.....
how dreadful, but intense can this be?
she looks to me, she smiles.
i can see the terror in her eyes, we have made the last step, it's a big fall from here.....
this is true freedom

...just got posted on another site. most of the same pics but they have a bucnh of other artists. give it a go

http://www.freeart.org

very very Very dissapointed!! They didn't have the Ron Carlson book I was aiming for. This is the second time York's stiffed me on "Hotel Eden"! I won't be so forgiving next time, you monsters!! (shakes fist)

Instead I got "Betrayed by F. Scott Fitzgerald". It's still Ron Carlson, but it's a novel instead of a bunch of short stories, so it should still rock, but it'll take longer to fall in love with.

I do love this line, though:


"Confusion, like Koko, the albino horse-riding bear that appears in the circus wearing red scarves and leaping through flames, was mounting."


gosh, he's swell.

I,m thinking if I didn,t like myself so much it would be so much easier to check out.I,m crying,and I,m no pussy.

Defending the non-scumbag lawyers who get thrown into the pot with the few bad apples.

Just remember, the best defense against a scumbag lawyer is a great lawyer - of which there are plenty - and a good judge (who in most cases is also a lawyer). Most of the people I have encountered on this site have been extremely cool and open minded and this type of ridicule surprises me a bit.

Bashing an entire profession for the few bad apples is almost as bad as bashing a race or a religion although I do concede nobody is born a lawyer -- even though there are admittedly a few among us who think that they were.

God bless us one and all. Best wishes from the Gateway City.

Sitting here wondering if I want to log onto the Waffles and Lucy show. Oh, I have to go, I just can't help myself.

Otherwise, three more days of quiet, and the thundering herd arrives. I actually look foward to a little activity around here.

chilling for just a minute at the Kinko's on 54th. sorry for the delay scrabblettes its too expensive will catch up in a couple days. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

My husband,and father went to law school for a while,Senator Byrd from W.V.was one of his teachers at his school in Huntington.It was just a joke,I laugh at redneck jokes too,and I,m one.

remembering that she went to sorabji.com on her ex-boytoy's computer when she was there the other day. Now I'm forced to wonder if he'll stumble across Sorabji his own self whilst checking the history.

Well pal, if you do...you know who I am and you know who you are, and all I ask is that you come talk to me before you assume anything.

And thanks for not being invisible to me anymore. You're the best.

warning all sorabjites...Sparganium Erectum is on the loose, becareful out there!!!!!!1

J - your reply was appreciated.

I will always defend the legal profession so long as there are good people within it who strive to uphold noble goals.

There are a few of us left.

And although I am not a redneck, I have been known to associate myself with a few now and then. Without rednecks there would be no Jerry Jeff Walker and thus no "Viva Terlingua" which is definately a masterpiece.

thinking that his lawyer rocked, and thatI should pay him soon.

listening to Burning Spear. I believe he has a new one coming out soon. We had the dept. BBQ today. Played volley ball and tug of war, ate too many carbs, and then went back to the office to continue to fix a screwed up database. Combined with the wet chilly day, I am pretty spaced out.

Listening to Burning Spear in dim light is no help. Ever been surfing (the net) for such a long time that you suddenly feel like you are floating?

happily applying for a job whose benefits would include an immediate $10K salary cut.

I've hired attorneys on four different occasions in my life. Every time it turned out to be some of the smartest money I ever spent.

my sister married a lawyer. 2 years into the marriage she shows up at my door with a black eye. it turned that he'd been roughing her up all that time, but she thought she could handle it. when he gave her the black eye she walked out on him and never looked back. now she's living with an amateur tennis player who works for the phone company.

it's not that lawyers are scum, it's just that scum tend to become lawyers.

Going to law school.

Because happiness....

Leaving California. This is a cultureless culture where people do not communicate. There is too much to do here, so people's time management is top priority. For some reason, quality time with other human beings never makes it to the top of the "worth my time" list. I grew up here and am ready to leave for my field position in Iowa/Wisconsin. My CA salary will do us well there, and the people know how to be with people because it's a survival skill when you have to spend months every year cooped up inside with other humans.

[email protected]

Because happiness can't buy you money.


and it can't buy you 8 martinis, either. but leave a good tip anyway.

Wishing Margaret good luck with law school. Before you go, pick up a copy of One L by Scott Turow. It's a quick read and although it tends to be a bit dramatic at time, a substantial portion of it is a pretty accurate portrayal of the first year of law school.

Going to see R.E.M. at Riverport this evening. Anticipation has dissolved into a mental preparation not to be too disappointed. Somehow I keep forgetting it's not 1985 anymore.

Except when it comes to clothing and personal grooming, mind you.

WISHING i HAD A HAPPY GO LUCKY LAWYER STORY

i am confident lawyers are great things in peoples eyes because .....well.......they get your ass outta of a sling....


this country is too litipgious....so many layers accepting cases with no morality or integrity....making a mockery of our court system..............

my uncle's is a lawyer and a judge......i once told him how i feel, he argued with me for a bit and then conceeded that there are a lot of scumbag lawyers.......but insisted he was not one of them.............i asked about that cheeseball commercial he did a few years back...he said "wanna beer?"

I once worked for an attorney who ran a television ad where a crane (offscreen) dropped a 72 Oldsmobile on top of what was supposed to be his desk. I think his point was that you never know what is going to happen to you and when so keep his name and number in mind. The only things that went through my mind were (1) Who is going to believe that this guy has a desk in the middle of a junkyard; and (2) Why would I think that a guy who has to drop a car out of the sky is a good lawyer?

Needless to say, I started looking for new work shortly thereafter. In subsequent interviews with other firms that Goddamned commercial always came up.

I guess it was good marketing.

And I hope my posts haven't come off as overly sensitive. I failed to mention that I am a HUGE Lionel Hutz fan.

really hoping the death toll number in Turkey STOPS....another 5.0 aftershock made things worse. I haven't been through a serious quake here in LA, and I am not sure I want to...I work on the 10th floor, our building is on rollers though........what is really traumatizing i hear is the after effects. People are so jittery and nervous of the after shocks, they instruct everyone to stay outside. A friend said after the Northridge quake in 92, people were going nuts, on edge, unnerved, sitting out on the street, don't smoke, maybe a gas leak somewhere, can't get water, when it's quiet you can hear the ground rumbling........thinking about Turkey, hope things pan out for those folks...........

Went to a bus driver's meeting today. A sherriff, a guy from the prison SWAT team (they had a different name, can't remember what), and the head security guy from the prison.

In a nutshell: If you or anyone on the bus gets into a serious situation, you have no power, just try to get on the radio before they smash it.

The guy from the SWAT team really got into his description of how they'd board the bus.

Consensus: If you know and care about the kids, you will more than likely know when they are going to lose it, and use the given resources to find them help BEFORE they lose it.

my neighbor next door is convinced that david blaine will reveal himself to be the second coming of one jesus h. christ, a man of unknown origin who has been mia for the past two thousand years.

she firmly believes that he has been using his television specials as a means to make himself familiar to the american public so that we will know his image when time is full.

she assures me he will rise from the towers like a burning third eye above new york. the trumpet shall blow, the abominations shall be spewed forth, and we will know that the rapture is upon us.

she is going to throw her sins into the river and skip across them to the other side.
she is going to cast her transgressions aside and float like a butterfly to the kingdom above.
she is going to break the rule and absolve desolve revolve involve shake shake shake it up and be free.

or so she says, anyway.

my god is a divine porcinity.

and these are the last days.

have you gathered enough rocks to cross the river?
