“Can You Picture That”
(Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem)

Everybody’s brother, everybody’s lover, I wanna be your lifetime friend.
Crazy as a rocket, nothin in my pocket, I keep it at the rainbow’s end.
I never think of money, I think of milk ‘n honey, grinnin like a cheshire cat.
I focus on the pleasure, somethin I can treasure, can you picture that?

(Dr. Teeth: Floyd, Pick a verse!)

Let me take your picture, add it to the mixture, there it is I got you now!
Really nothin to it, anyone can do it, it’s easy and we all know how.
Now begins the changin, mental rearrangin, nothing’s really where it’s at,
(Teeth) Now the Eiffel Tower’s holdin up a flower. Can you picture that?

(Interlude)
Fact is there’s nothin out there you can’t do
Yeah, even Santa Claus believes in you.
Beat down the walls, begin, believe, behold, begat.
Be a better drummer, be an up and comer. Can you picture that?

(Janice)
All of us are winnin, pickin and a-grinnin, Lordy but I love to jam
Jelly-belly gigglin, dancin and a-wigglin, honey that’s the way I am!
(Teeth)
Lost my heart in Texas, Northern lights affect us, I keep it underneath my hat,
Aurora Borealis, shinin down on Dallas! Can you picture that? horhh

(Chorus)
Can you picture? You gotta see it in your mind!
Can you picture? You know it’s quick and easy to find!
Can you picture? You don’t have to buy a frame!
Can you picture? Can you picture that?
Can you picture that?

Use it if you need it, don’t forget to feed it!
Can you picture that?

(Oh wow, can you get behind it? Fer shure, reeeally!)

Well, April is gone.

Leave a comment

Well, April is gone. 5 hours toward Utah at this writing. A good thing for her I think, and for me too. I’m feeling some separation anxiety, which surprises me, I guess any change in habit is disconcerting. I hope I can maintain communication with her, but I’m guessing that she won’t make the effort. We’ll see, maybe she’ll write or call. I’ll keep my ‘3 shots then skip’ rule.

Having privacy again is weird. I keep expecting someone to come home, or be late or something. But I’m alone with Newt now. Oh! That Reminds me, I need to set up the Newtcam again, now that I’m not stepping on anyone’s private toes.

Where has mootpoint gone off too? I miss him. A good guy.

Suzy goes on her cruise starting next weekend. Hm. Just as well, I’d probably rebound at her with great velocity if she was around. I don’t want that.

Danny is back at School teaching again… he’s going to be quite busy.

Little Brother and I will get together, and I look forward to seeing Robby, and Dave, and Cathi, too.

Nuts. Gone too long w/out an update…

I don’t remember what I’ve been eating.

The Sleep study tonight was a bust, going again next Sunday night.

bah. I’m so irritated about that, I’m not even going to go into it. suffice to say, insurance companies, HMO, incompetents and boobs all need to stay out of my way in the next week.

April’s leaving at 3:30 PM today. Mixed feelings, but mostly happy about it. Not going to work, going to see her off at the station.

Considering heavily getting another cat. ‘Franklin’ a brown kitty, for Newton.

too many journal entries to read tonight, and I’m not in a mood to contribute positively, so I’ll leave ’em alone.

let’s see. *good things* that happened this weekend.

Saw the Cell with Robb. Spiffy visuals. Saw Godzilla with April. Whee giant rubber monster. I loved it… 17th of 23 Godzilla movies I’ve seen. (24 if you count the American broderick atrocity) Met a new gaming group that will have the hunters in it, and no evil f’ing shadowfist games to eliminate Rp. Josh seems nice, if enthusiastic. Got a bunch of video tapes for cheep at the store, Wizards, Silent Running, a boy and his dog, they live, and alien nation for $20 total. groovy.

Interesting factoids about me:

I’m a goliath at 6’6″ tall with long brown hair and blue eyes.
My first real job was page at the local library, helping folks find information, and I’ve loved the idea ever since.
I’ve been a vegetarian for a little bit over a decade.
I haven’t driven a car in over 4 years, and haven’t had a proper permit in well over 8.
I am incredibly fortunate to have some wonderful friends in Danny, Dave and Cathi, who can be relied on to help me in times of dire need.
I like most childern and animals more than grownups.
I am a big fan of folklore and mythology.
I like women that are curvy.
I have a younger brother, who has been on TV and in magazines for professional Surfing.
Fall is my favourite season, green and purple my favourite colors.

Ten interesting lieoids about me:

The vegetarian thing doesn’t extend to *human flesh*.
My cat is really a spy, and plans on killing me once his mission is done here.
I love the musical stylings of Yoko Ono.
I can smell when women are ‘having that time’.
I’ve spent over 1/3 of my life in jail, for a crime I didn’t commit… but I don’t mind because they never caught me for something far worse.
I long for the a return of the sensibilities of the ’50s. the 1450’s.
When intimate with someone, a sign of my love is my falsetto yodels.
While I openly admit the rulers of the earth are giant ants, I rarely talk about the queen cheese that controls their drone-like actions.
I secretly admire Rush Limbaugh.
Everything I say is clever ventriloquism from my anus.

Eventful morning…

Leave a comment

10:30 am – transcribed from my palm pilot.

Spent the last Half-hour with a friendly pooch- looked like a bull terrier/dalmation mix. He followed me up the street, and some folks kep an eye on him when I went into the bakery to get someone to call animal control. The Baker guy gave him some water, while I checked his tag… all it said was that he’d gotten a rabies shot in Miami-Dade, a good long distance for a dog to walk. The jewelry store guy next door came out with a cord to use for a leash, and said he’d keep an eye on the dog, let him sit in the store in the A/C until they got more info. Cool shopkeepers around here. 🙂 The dog was a total sweetie. So I headed to the bus stop, and barely caught my ride to work… writing this on the bus.

10:45 Angry Hatian woman yelling at the top of her lungs at the bus driver, because it costs $.50 to bring a child aboard, and she thought it was free for kids. A long foul-mouthed diatribe, lasted about 10 minutes…I didn’t know a person could yell that long and loud without getting kicked off the bus. I’m impressed that the driver didn’t call a cop.

2:35 updating in LJ, I’m hungry, havent’ eaten since chinese last night… and it was small then.

wakey wakey!

Missed the bus, so took a cab into work. Thusly, I’m here about an hour early. I’m going to surf until it’s time for me to officially start, and thought I’d start here and say hey!

Hey!

Foodies update, Bagel w/ cream cheese, 4 liters of water thus far.

Looking into getting some more ebooks. I dug up a clockwork orange and fight club… maybe my next book should be something gentle? Really digging using assorted places like internet library sites like Project Gutenberg http://www.gutenberg.net/
Bibliomania: The Network Library http://www.bibliomania.com/ Bartleby Library
http://www.bartleby.com/

and my current fave – Internet Public Library Online Texts Collection

Got home, a little late, but not horrible.

foodies update.
personal cheese pizza, small salad, lots o water. lunch was checkers fries and a chocolate shake. total bad, but tasty.

Got a ride home with suzy, woke her up at 8:45 pm. I hope she’s not using again… hard to tell. She’s going back to driving the cab, as the catering job isn’t paying off. She’s been ver ydepressed lately… I don’t want to write her off, but I suspect there’s too much drama in her life these days… I thought she’d gottem mostly past that stuff.

i just wanted to say
that I have no secrets to share
no unique insight to reveal
no hidden shame to bare

oh, I could try to express the commonality of our existence,
and to impress you with my understanding of it,
and float pretty words like flower boats into your ears

but I can’t solve any of your problems,
and I can’t make things work for you, or even for me mostly.
I don’t claim to be able to live your life from the inside.

Believe me, if I could make the pain go away, I would.
I’d touch your heart if I could, I’d link our souls
and drag us both up from the depths

but I am just a man
and these are just words
and even a song is just a song

may you find your own peace

Sleep study, catch-up

Leave a comment

Come, blessed barrier between day and day, Dear mother of fresh thoughts and joyous health!

— William Wordsworth in “To Sleep” (1806)

Well, I got back about an hour ago. It looks like I do indeed have sleep apnea, and they’re having me back again next week. Thank goodness for insurance! I wore evil-looking sensors all over my head/face, legs and chest, and fingertip, and an infrared camera to spy on me while I sleep. You cam girls should get these… totally dark in the room, but the image is really good. After getting hooked up, I got to hang out for a while before bed and watch TV with the other patients. (3 senior ladies, Nora, Emily, and Rita.) I showed off my palm pilot, and they showed off pictures of the grandkids. Rita was very cool, used to work for the police dept, and married her husband, Stan, who was at the time a private detective (Now a Deacon. I met him this morning, and he confirmed the tale.. neato bogie-style romance.)Told all sorts of keen stories about Cop life in the 1960’s. (She was a clerk, and saw all sorts of wacky stuff.) No oxygen mask this time – but I get to wear that in addition next week, and it looks like every night until I get to go in for surgery, to have my tonsils removed and airway down there cleared up.

My concerns now are:

1-I damn sure don’t want to wear an oxygen mask for the rest of my life so chop away, doc! (I am concerned about surgery too, but I think it’s better in the long run.)

2- How much is insurance going to cover? So far, so good… but HMO’s are a bitch.

3- Will Newton sleep with me while I have the mask on? I think so, he’s pretty intrusive. 🙂

I’m going to have to learn maintenance and upkeep for the equipment, too… so that’s another chore on this lazy guy’s list of things to do.

Something I’m keen to try is Somnoplasty. It is a radio frequency surgical device that shrinks the soft palate in a half-hour outpatient procedure. That sounds like it’d be perfect, if I can get away with it.

Anyhow, to keep the food list up.

Before going to the study, I hung out with my little bro for a while, and hooked up with Cathi & Dave to see the crappiest movie I’ve seen, since oh, sakes I don’t know… Coyote Ugly. Bless this Child. Not scary. Not Thrilling. Not Enthralling. Not nothing. bleah. At least Coyote Ugly had pretty girls being provocative. Hollow Man had a lot of Blunt head Trauma. Battlefield earth was so bad, you could mock it. BTC… just a bore-fest. You do get to see Christina Ricci beheaded… payback for Wednesdays’s doll, I suppose.

Ate creamy noodles w/peas, had coffee, and water, and an iced chai and a black and white at borders after the movie.

tomorrow I go in for my sleep study. electrodes, monitors, o2 mask and being videotaped should make for a lovely night of comfortable sleep.

Had a decent game of everway today, slow, but ok. Much distraction.

Ate- a load of pretzels, bugles, and water, a small order of veggie lo mein, and some tasty cheese. bad bad for me, good good tasting.
