March 2005 Dribblings | |
3.31.05 i totally padded my 50 Books tally by reading an anthology of romance novels. after reading the books i feel like my brain has turned to goo. so i immediately went to the library and checked out some nonfiction in hopes that my brain firms back to it's regular consistency. while at the library i
overheard two women talking: yesterday i found a
PRIZE on my doorstep! 3.30.05 today we worked outside. it was a beautiful day. i was attacked by giant dive-bombing bumble bees all afternoon. i think they think my hair is a giant dandelion, and they want to have the Magic Bee-Flower Sex with it. promises to be an interesting spring. *** mr. fleegan and i ate at
my parent's house this evening because while waiting for the food to cook (because my parents eat dinner at 8pm because...because...i have no idea why) i turned the tv on and kablam! PBS is on and it's Pledge Week, again, (i want to make sweet love to Pledge Week. they show the best stuff on that week.) and there's a concert with all these random old singers. and of course i love that shit. so i forced the rest of the fam to watch. mom comes in and is all,
"what concert is this?" the audience shots were
hilarious and we ripped them all apart. so there's an orchestra
playing all the songs and this one guy playing a trumpet
looks like David Crosby. and mr. fleegan points this out.
and i say, "oh my gosh! you're right! it does
look like David Crosby!" and then everyone is looking at me like i've grown dreadlocks and i'm smoking a joint the size of a hot dog. man, i love PBS.
3.29.05 reefer log of joy and
stinky farts: 3.28.05 when i woke up i remembered that i used to dream that i was coughing up aluminum foil. and it would hurt so bad. i'd wake up with a sore throat. it seemed like once a week i would dream that back when we lived in bad ol' apt 711. *** nibbler is fine. i saw it this evening and gave it some food. because i'm a sucker. a sap. a mushybrained bowl of mushiness. but i put the food on their door step and not mine so the damn thing wouldn't associate my door with food. take that, cat. *** my fluourescent yellow
hair was a hit at the Holy House today. there were about
8 biddies in the lobby when i walked in and all of a
sudden it was, "SQUAWK! SQUAWK! SQUAWK!" you'd
have thought Tom Jones had walked in or something. one
lady said that no matter what color my hair was i was
still a pretty girl. i repied with a smile and thank you.
one lady told me i had ruined my hair. i replied with a
smile and a thank you. an old man told me he knew a guy
who had pink hair and was a wrestler and that he would
wrestle for five dollars. "really?" i asked. old people and kids. you just never know what the hell they're gonna say. *** i was Vomitus Maximus in
the wee hours of the morning (gee, wonder why i dreamed
about puking.). not my favorite way to start (or end, in
this case) the day. i dunno if it was something i ate or
if it's a virus or what. even so, i went to work.
popsicle was in worse shape than i was. but he was
hungover. "for shame," i said, "getting
drunk on the day we celebrate the resurrection of our
Lord and Savior." reefer log: 3.27.05 updated 50 Books of Peril. tonight the wood's
stolen cat, nibbler, is on the roof. and it's meowing
like it's on fire. toonces is confused and
pissed because jimmy was all,
"should we get it down?" but then the cat didn't trust us to get it down even though jimmy was awfully sexy impersonating a firefighter trying to get a cat down from a high place. my hero. even though the cat wasn't having any part of it. finally jimmy was all,
"dammit. it got up there. it can get back
down." i'll check again before i go to sleep. reefer log: 3.24.05 and since you are
curious, i managed to pull a miracle out of my Miracle
Hat and finished the painting. a ginormous rock has been
removed from my shoulders. i feel weightless. although i
hope the people who comissioned the painting still want
it and think that it's good enough to pay $250. my dad showed my self
portrait to one of his friends today. dad loves that
picture and would fold it up and put it in his wallet if
he could, and then he'd pull it out to show anyone who
happened to be in screaming distance, "you wanna see
a picture my kid made?!" it's thrilling that i've
made something that makes my parents go, "wow.
that's amazing." *** laura told me a hilarious story today. she said that she and a co-worker went to the court house and they were standing around talking to...i dunno, some people...and this lady (who i'm pretty sure is Sugarlips Muldoon) says, "hey, aren't you jaimie's friend?" why that is
funny i cannot say, it just has a funniness about it.
laura said, "see, you're famous." 3.23.05 i was waiting my turn at
the Cheap Hair Cut Place (i'll not call it a salon
because it doesn't deserve a nice professional title like
that) and this teen girl was also waiting with her mom.
this girl talked down to her mom like a dog. i came this
close (scrinch pointer finger and thumb together real
close like) to losing it. "you talk to your mama
like that one more time and i'm gonna introduce this
chair to your rectum, and they ain't gonna be friends,
you immature, ungrateful child-person." bleached me hair out.
dad says i look like slim shady. *** i worked on the painting today. we'll see if i manage to pull a miracle out of my hat and have it finished tomorrow night. while working on it i'm listening to my iPod. specifically Word by Word, a seminar on writing by Anne Lamott. do audiobooks count as reading a book? may i add it to the 50 Books? i mean afterall, it is nonfiction. nerd. *** i should work on a
Weekly. i just don't have anything right now. i mean, the
latest thing at work has been dad and i quoting
everything in an Old Lady From the Deep South voice. we
branched out. *** i think i've figured out
my cat problem. the problem is she hates to be out
outside. another problem is she can read my mind. so when
i look at her she runs and hides under the bathtub or
behind the t.v. and it takes hours to get her outside.
most of the time she stays inside 'cos i don't have time
to play Wait on the Kitty. so then she sleeps ALL DAY
LONG, and by the time i lay down for bed she's wide open
and won't let me sleep. reefer log of spazdom: 3.22.05 ah hope they-ah fuhst chile is a masculine chile. ...and a man in mah position cain't afford to look ridiculous! ah'm ya oldah bruthah, Mikey, and ah was stepped ovah! thay-ats mah family, kay. it's not me. ah'll make him an offah he cain't refuse. Johnny Fontane will nevuh get that movie. ah don't care how many dago guinea wop greaseball goombahs come out o' the woodwork. **** have you noticed how many racial slurs there are for Italians? **** dad broke a window today. and i gave him hell for it all day long. i know that sounds mean and heartless, but he expected no less. reeefer
loog: 3.21.05 this evening we went to
the grocery store and the cashier guy gets points for
saying to me, "wow, you're back." because i had
been there that afternoon with my pops. he gets points
because when i was there with pops i was wearing my
Painting Costume w/ Dirty Baseball cap, and this evening
i was wearing Street Clothes w/ Clean Hair and he
recognized me. ***** Dear Medium, Please don't ever do that again. Love, Jaimie Pickle 3.20.05 in other news: updated 50 books i am so sick of this
painting. i hate art. i hate painting. i hate portraits.
i hate the cat. i hate oil paint. i hate squares. i hate
it all. i hate wasting time to paint. i hate that i need
to go to the grocery store. as of today i think i'm
going to screw the painting and screw the art show. something must be the
matter because today my lovely friends came and knocked
on my door and asked me to go to lunch with them and my
first thought was, "i'd rather carve out my heart
with a pencil eraser than go to lunch with you happy
lot." which of course, i did not say aloud because
even to my sick brain i realized how horrible and wrong
that thought was. then i thought, "maybe i should
go out with them. maybe they will make me laugh and
then i'll feel awesome and not think about that stupid
painting. i do need a break." but the thought that
won out was, "jaimie, you are mean and way too
sarcastic today. there's no need for you to go and
verbally vomit on your friends. now get back in there and
paint." go to hell, PMS. rayfer lawg: 3.17.05 so i thought about it. i've one painting that i've been "working" on since june, i think. it's a portrait of a friend's son. and i desparately don't want to work on it. but then i thought of how douche baggedy it would be of me to not enter the art show when in fact i'm encouraging my two art minions (students, whatever) to enter their projects. so now i'm killing myself to finish this bastard painting. feh. another 50 books. and laura has requested that i put the new ones at the top. i guess that makes sense. laura is usually right about these kinds of things. i trust her mad website skillz. reefum loggum: 3.15.05 not only are we lawbreakers, but also, we lie. to our loved ones. what did we do on our
day off? did we sleep in, you ask? we watched The Godfather trilogy. well, parts I and II anyway. we watched part III on saturday. needless to say, but
i'll say it anyway, we've been talking like the
characters ever since. especially the frank pentangeli
character. and you're probably asking, "who?"
at this point, because you're normal and you probably
haven't seen it quite as many times as we have. if you
have seen the movie (part II) i'll refresh your memory. three best reefer logs: 3.14.05 we worked at the Holy
House today. there's a gentleman who lives there and we
will call him "bill". "bill" is
crazier than a shithouse rat. certifiable. he's got
papers, yo. i say that it's weird
for "bill" to hug me, but also there's more to
that story. y'see, "bill" thought i was a boy.
when dad finally got it through "bill's" head
that i was a girl, "bill" became a lot more
polite and talkative to me. yeah, feh. and it wasn't that
dad was all eager to let "bill" know i was a
female, it was more that he got tired of this
conversation: it happened a lot, until finally dad was all, ""bill", i swear to god if you mistake her for a boy one more time i'm gonna knock you down." which is in fact the proper way to deal with mental illness. anyway, more and more of the old people are starting to realize that i'm indeed a girl, and now...now they think that dad and i are married. gag, i know. when someone asks we're all like, "NO! no. jesus god no. and also, could you tell all of your friends that we're father and daughter? thanks." i do lead a charmed life. 3 best reefer log
searches: 3.11.05 and yes i know i sound
like an old person, but honestly, who moved my cheese?
and why did they get it all over my calendar?! arg! i
don't want to be mean and old! but after reading
yesterday's entry i feel so mean and old! i want to be
caring and kind and nice. but it is impossible! the only
way i could be those things is if the world changed and
people stopped being stupid. 3.10.05 cheese&crackers. so laura gets roped into this stupid meeting (and supposedly i should be involved 'cos i was in SGA? wha? no sense.) shit. no way i'm going. but ARG! you never leave a man behind. shit shit shitter shit. and it's on a precious saturday! c'mon, i'm not that fucking noble. dammit! i told laura that there was no way i was going to the reunion. wild horses and all that. but i did say that if OT would go i would go. that's the ONLY way i'd go. of course, i still probably wouldn't go. this hurts my anus. 3.09.05 it was a full-sized Darth Vader helmet that CHANGES YOUR VOICE INTO DARTH VADER'S VOICE AND CAN YOU BELIEVE I DIDN'T BUY ONE?! because honestly, i can't believe i didn't buy one. in fact, i am so pissed that i didn't buy one. but also, i know that if i had bought it i would never take it off. ever. well, maybe to bathe, right? and it would probably hinder my driving, but other than those two senarios...i can't find a reason to take the mask off. and honestly, i don't want to be the only person at church wearing a Darth Vader helmet. BUT WHY DIDN'T I BUY
ONE!? OH! OH SADNESS NOW THAT I'VE SEEN ONE AND DO NOT
PRESENTLY OWN ONE! 'cos what i want to do is video Darth
Vader being interviewed or drinking tea or painting a
house or cleaning toilets or SOMETHING THAT DARTH VADER
WOULD NEVER DO! can you imagine?!
picture this: WHY DIDN'T I BUY ONE?! well, i don't really need one. i mean, where would i put it while i'm not wearing it (read: while i'm sleeping)? and really, i know that i'll only use it to torture the cat. i can see me chasing poor Toonces Whorecat around the house saying, "simba! you deliberately disobeyed me!" yeah, i don't need
stupid crap like that. 3.08.05 *** i was talking to mr.
fleegan and laura today and i
told them about how i missed a Tina Turner concert on PBS
last week and that i was pretty bummed about it. when i
went to my parents house this evening to do laundry (i
know, mooch.) dad was flipping channels, hit PBS and BLAM
there was Tina Turner in concert. it was one of those
moments where i sit in awe and it hits me: god loves me.
god loves the whole world. and it's not that he
loves me because he let me watch the Tina Turner concert.
although hey, bonus! he loves me (and the world) because
he gave us Tina Turner. he has blessed us all
with Tina. she is a treasure. and liz (and pretty much
everyone else), i know you are rolling your eyes, but
it's true. she's a fighter and a survivor and an
incredibly awesome person. and? if you don't own any Tina
you're a sad person, and you should really think about
getting some Tina. Tina Turner is my hero, and i'll never say anything bad about her. although i am having trouble wrapping my brain around this. but if she wants to sing country then by god, she can. yes, it seems strange that she sings stand by your man, but i say just go with it. why? because she's Tina Turner. do not question the Tina. 3.07.05 i can't believe dad and i haven't keeled over from some sort of mold spore alien virus yet. i tell you, people are nasty. ps, next time you visit
granny, check for shit on the walls, m'kay? 'cos when she
bites it someone's gonna come in and paint her room and
they're gonna know that you let granny smear shit and
boogers on the wall. and do you know who they're gonna
blame? 3.05.05 *** my e-mail has been wonky
this week. i can receive it but it seems that when i send
it it never gets there. so i've sent e-mails to: if you lovely ladies haven't received my replies i am very sorry. if you have received them please, let me know so that i can stop being paranoid about my e-mail. stoopid e-mail bollocks. 3.04.05 today i called my brother on the phone. it went like this: justin:hello? see, the woodlayson's
are nombre cinco on my cell. justin is nombre cuatro. and
i always misdial, but so far i've managed to catch myself
from actually placing the call. until today. oops. reefer log: 3.02.05 today was an interesting day. i've written a weekly about it; just as soon as LBC does her graphic magic i'll post it. the new Tori album, The Beekeeper, is very boring and sounds just like her last album but even more "easy listening". feh. i realize that she's older and a mom and all, but i mean, there's no edge at all. none. even billie holiday had edge. nina simone? edge. Tori "give me peace, love, and a hard cock" Amos, where is your edge?!
3.01.05 poor jimmy had to work late today (so i did not get to see him. i hate when that happens.) in a town far, far away called Cullman. then he had to drive back in a van that does not have heat. the poor fleegan was frozen and quite pissed when he got back to town. *** today my international student conversation partner mysteriously dropped out of the conversation program. was it something i said? i now have a new conversation partner (conpart), and i will meet her next week. she is a korean girl named jemma. Korean Jemma. sounds like a band. or international spy. *** i am having the worst
luck with breakfast. i eat it and then it feels like i've
eaten nails. but i haven't eaten nails. i've eaten an
english muffin with cream cheese. i can't not eat
breakfast because i'll fall out by 10am. but enough about me and
my day, you're here for the reefer aren't you? |
