It’s Friday! It’s Friday!!!!!

Like I’ve said before, I’m a Grade A sucker. I had to fill in for two of my coworkers this morning. Right when I got into the office, the second law of thermodynamics went haywire; everything went FUBAR. Grrrrr….

I’ve started Lady Chatterly’s Lover by D.H. Lawrence. I’ve always like Lawrence, but I’ve never been able to finish any of his novels. So I am very determined to finish this one.

That’s it. I might go to see Deerhoof tonight if the stars align correctly. We’ll see.

Goddamn, it’s not 5:00 yet. Blooby flooby.

God bless the miracle of drugs. I love drugs. They make me feel uncongested and happy.

Er…. ok. lotusblossom and I are trying to come up with 19h century authors that I like. The only one I can come up with is Mark Twain. HELP!!!!!!!!!!

It looks like both nights for Sonic Youth @ the El Rey are sold out. Nuts.

But I’m still going to see Get Hustle this Sunday @ the Smell. Woo hoo!

So my sickness has reached it climax today. I want someone desperately to rip out my sinuses and lungs. I don’t want them anymore. Perhaps I should sell them on EBay.

I went to Borders and bought Anarchy by James Robert Baker, The Girl with Curious Hair by David Foster Wallace and a best of Burt Bachrach CD (as sung by the original artists!!!!!). I was going to buy a Carpenter’s CD, but none of the ones they had contained the songs I wanted.

Here at work, I’m doing the check run which SUCKS since we have no money. Who would’ve thought that $100K is not enough money?

I woke up at 6 am inexplicably this morning. I couldn’t go back to sleep, so I said “fuck it” and took a shower. It was nice not having to rush through things as I usually do. I made some coffee, listened to “Democracy Now!” on KPFK and did some reading. All in all, a fairly productive morning.

I think I’m going to head over to Borders during lunch and get some reading material. Any suggestions?

So the mechanic called me and said the problem was with a couple of the sensors. So instead of it being $500 (like I expected), it’s only coming out to $150. Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course with this bit of luck, there’s always something bad in the horizon. So here it is: I’m coming down with the cold. I feel the beginnings of it right in my sinus right now. Grrrrrrr…..

My car overheated on me this morning on my way to work. So it’s at the mechanics right now being pried and probed. I hope it doesn’t cost me too much. I mean, I’ve had this car for 8 years now. <sniff sniff> I DON’T WANT IT TO DIE!!!!!!!! But, alas, I have to think about getting a new car. That’s just what I need: a car note. Ugh. Oh well. I guess I should get used to owing money to “the man”.

Is it just me or is Rev. Al Sharpton just adorable? I just want to squeeze his cheeks. Just an observation….

I just got through Dennis Cooper’s new novel, My Loose Thread. It’s much like his other works but more cohesive. The same feelings are evoked… the bleakness, the torture, the obsession. The gaps between sentences are even more pronounced giving the mind something to torture itself with. All in all, a fun read for people who’ve experienced Cooper. For those of you who haven’t, don’t read it after a big meal.

It’s so hot I’m melting. Shit! I need red paint.
