why is this apple only bruised around the core?
I went to Wal-Mart with a black cat firecracker sticking out of my ear. We were listening to the Snatch soundtrack (which reminded me of last summer with THE infamous 'snatch' and how for some reason i can understand what the Parkies are saying) as we drove by the deaf school on the way there, and i paused to think 'it's a good thing i don't smoke'. Orifices are for sticking things in right? At very least they have stuff come out of them. That's one of the central themes of humanity people! Well anyway, it seemed like a good idea at the time on 5 hours of sleep. At least it blatantly reminded me to get tampons for Sam. Black Cats are small, incredibly loud, have fast explosive potential, and oath- they have hissing cat heads on them. I absolutely love those little things; how could you not? <3 I was amazed at how few strange looks I got. If you act normal and natural, then so is whatever goes with you- the wonderful social pressure of acceptance or denial in public. It's not like i was bothering anyone. The subtlety of it in actions in Santa Fe is far more amusing than when i'd dress up strangely in Dallas and do a 7-11 run through (no, not a run, a run through) with the freaks. Even the guy behind the knife counter in the sporting goods section let me see the new Chameleon II by Gerber. But then it started to hurt, so I took it out. The black cat, not the knife- you don't just go sticking everything you find in an orifice. Anyway, Columbia River makes a better karambit like knife called the Bear Claw that's less fuss and is more versatile in grip.
In other particularly odd and good news, I’ve discovered a new game called ‘Spaz’ which involves hitting yourself, the ground, and the air, rapidly sometimes repeatedly, and ‘punishments’ and other ‘rules’ get added as the game goes along making it more difficult. Good no? It hurts less than beer bottle base ball and definitely less than Rock Paper Scissors Punch-in-the-Face. The equipment is far less than is required to set up the American Gladiator boffer trial from the Gym or any Fencing/Bicycles engagement and easier to obtain, and you don’t have to be drunk like Kings or stupid and drunk like the others to get convinced that it’s a worthwhile way to entertain yourselves. It’s played with Uno cards, numbered and coloured. A classmate from Utah taught me- I guess there’s not a great deal else to do around there. She said that she had gotten kicked out of countless places for playing it in high school, even public transport.
Bad dreams follow on Sunday’s affairs, i barely slept but tossed and turned. I dreamt I was on a large luxury cruiser called the “Titanic” in the middle of the ocean. Needless to say I felt edgy and trapped. And then I had a don rag. Two tutors were presiding over it- one the quieter and new seminar tutor from my freshman year and the other the lab tutor I assist in freshman lab who I have never actually had as my tutor. So they sat down and before giving their reports said they had asked in people from my core group. Not having any core group because of my lab assistant schedule in came 4 people that I have one class with each. They seemed entirely fed up and blasé. The tutors handed one of them an evaluation sheet to check off about my performance and asked him what the worst part was. This usually very nice and incredibly quiet gent explained in his quiet voice now hinted with sarcasm that despite having never ever seen one of my papers, ‘Her writing sucks and could use much improvement.’ He then went on to insult my haircut, that I should get a new one if I wished to maintain my ‘tough butch' attitude. At this the tutors both nodded in their own very agreeable ways and I was utterly paralyzed in insulted disbelief. Well at least I woke up before the ship sunk. I really have to write my music paper...
The Don Quixote theme was inevitably mixed up with the Mexican culture so close to here- it was just unavoidable. The best decorations were the library placita and the grassy knoll. The grassy knoll became the 'burro corral' with piñatas containing candy, drapes, lights and a hammock hanging from the tree. Blankets, scattered candy and couches were on the lawn. There were pinwheels and real flowers in beer bottles everywhere on campus, crape paper in the trees, and paper chains. The engineering of the windmill on the bell tower was shoddy and they never did get the thing to rotate.
The sophistry contest featured mostly excellent achievements in bullshitting, the highlights being Mr. Isaacs and Mr. Wall on 'Are we secret lovers?' ending in a fake stage kiss and Mr. Carl and Mr. Franks on 'Is James Joyce better than Nietzsche?' Someone even found an 8 year old magician from town that was very good at his gig.
The beer was all from microbreweries in Fort Collins, Colorado. We ever roasted a pig but 160 pounds just wasn’t enough for all those people. The food committee tried so hard, numbers were against them and the sheer amount of preparation wasn’t enough. I saw several small zip lock baggies marked ‘reality’ or ‘alethia’ that were empty going about. You can guess why.
Never did find my @#$%ing duct tape. The packing tape is out, how else was i going to tape myself for Spartan Mad ball protection? I took many Polaroids and messed with the emulsion- you can really display the emotion and direct the attention because of it. Red Bull helped us in the game against freshman who were wearing chainmaile and wrist guards and seniors who, though a valiant effort, we sophomores and juniors completely thrashed 3-0. The means kicked some extremes ass. Don't know if some of the boys left all the battle on the field or not. We were all smeared with face paint, blood and grass by the end and we popped 2 balls before the game was over. I chipped a tooth, only slightly thankfully, and it was unrelated to the ball game. My nose was bloodied by someone else while I deflecting the ball. Spitting bile at people really works to deter them. I achieved my personal goal of several flying tackles and field runs. There was one hospitalization- a good friend, we still don't know how badly.
Many Jello wrestling matches happened in 25 gallons of melted red jello and far less scrapes than last year's mud. These lovelies were wonderful accompaniment to the affair. For some reason the guys wouldn't try to pants one another, and when one did the other went ballistic yelling death threats at him. I was the only girl that didn’t get her bra pulled off in the pit, some girls just went right for the bra as if that was the point of wrestling. More girls wrestled than guys, and no senior guys did. Some of the bouncers from work were there with the band. I can't do anything in this town without every acquaintance finding out.
Many friendly graduates and hangers on returned to participate. Though five, yes FIVE, bands cancelled on us, we managed to entertain with the music left. There was rolling in the hay with bundles of it on the placita. I got Phish Food and local Honey and they ordered over 50 Pizzas. The mattress i dragged in front of the music stage proved useful as the crowd sang and bounced to the Karaoke band of old pimpadelic groovy guys, after St. John’s token bleeding heart senior band finished their set. Oh, and the mariachi band was impressive. In the very dry heat, I’m glad nothing (and no one) caught on fire. Once again- “water is wet, fire is hot, you can’t fly.”
I was just doing laundry and realized that the new Alabama state quarter has Helen Keller on it sitting in a chair reading a book in brail. Above her name in print is her name in brail- but the marks are so small only someone with eyesight would be able to decipher them. HA! Go Alabama! Helen Keller quarters!
Salt, Toilet paper, Boxes, Water.
...and i'm certainly never paying for sex.
For better or worse, Tutors are my new fascination, or not so new but newly admitted. Mph.
Act 1: Everyone introduced, the scene is set Act 2: Shit goes down Act 3: Reactions to the shit and attempts to clean it up, often causing more shit Act 4: Resolutions or ends of the shit aforementioned Act 5: Everyone dies or gets married
Insert Epilogue as needed or called for.
‘Romantic’ music is highly dissonant- and if played slowly, sounds god awful. It’s quickly moving prepared dissonances make us think it’s spontaneous.
I hope I never wake up in a David Lynch life.
Drunk just hurts anymore. I am past my weekend binge prime. On to better things.
I love Montaigne all the more for this: "Of all the natural function [defecation] that is the one that i can least willingly endure to have interrupted." (From, On Experience)
Argyles rock. I’ve never had a pair before, I feel kick arse.
In other news, i will be participating in the blogswap as soon as i get these papers done. So, Annapoloids, if you find a cd from NM in your mailbox- it's me.
Aikido at the Santa Fe Dojo which was amazing and getting well stuffed on sushi paid for by the school afterwards. *sighs contentedly* Again, I have so much to learn. Speaking of which, there are Fencing divisional this whole weekend. I will be the only Johnny participating, which is a disgrace since it's being held in our gym.
Found a quote i like about martial arts that i'll keep in mind: "Martial arts are for the weak, not the strong. The strong have many resources. "
Our seminars would most likely prove great silly entertainment or pathetic attempts at insults to the authors.
“O, when she’s angry, she is keen and shrewd: She was a vixen when she went to school; And, though she be but little, she is fierce.” –Helena, Mid Summer Night’s Dream
“It’s spring!” -Ari “So? You mean more fornication?” -August “No…”- Ari “No. More hunting!” -Reike “You call it foreplay I call it defense.” –Ari
The other night I went through the dusty draws of the classroom I have seminar in before class started. I found: 3 collated copies of a senior paper, trash bags, photocopies of Aristotle in Ancient Greek, a coffee maker, plastic and metal forks and spoons, mugs from the cafeteria and not, a bag of sugar, two boxes of sugar cubes that were all individually numbered with marker, many boxes of wrapped pinecones and conifer samples, rock samples, and the prize find- in the corner of a cabinet beside some pinecones, just as dusty as everything else was an old mailed package with 26 cents worth of stamps. It contained ‘Asbestos Samples’ from a company, probably from the 30's- asbestos paper, asbestos felt, asbestos shingles in ebony and white, and asbestos tilling. Maybe I can sell it as a collector’s item on E-Bay if it’s not illegal.
I want to make a fake porn site on the net, “100% Pure Unadulterated Uncut SCUT!!! Totally free for your Viewing Pleasure!”
Those pacifists that are violently adamant about pacifism really irritate me- as much as bible bashers or any other sort of dogmatic fool.
I love smoking accessories-it's the esthetic appeal. It's so much more satisfying than actually bothering to smoke them, but then if you don't smoke them, why have them? Papers, boxes, cartons, packs, lighters, pipes, wires, holders, and cases.
Baba, церковь, Vodka.
I like swords.
wow. just wow.
The worst attack in modern sport fencing with saber is most definitely the concentrated nipple slash. It will, if done accurately, incapacitate your opponent for at least 3 seconds. Now this is just in regular bouts, not aiming for the nipple but lower pec for a chest slash; combine this with what is sometimes referred to as the unusually cruel 'full body attack' in which you actually take back for more slash- and you'll never NOT wear a chest protector again.
Needless to say, especially with the rings in, i howled piteously and repeatedly.

When you hug someone you leave your scent on them. There are some places and people I don’t want left with a piece of me for long- they shouldn’t be able to recognize me or have the privilege to, so I don’t entertain long. Maybe I just live with a bunch of fairly smelly even stinky people. It doesn't help that most are smokers and don't notice many scents. I know when certain ones of them has been somewhere, or how long it’s been since they bathed, what they haven’t bathed- it’s not like I asked for the knowledge but I get it anyway on 4 acres of developed campus with 300 other inhabitants. Or maybe I’m afraid of that be un-concealable transferable recognition, the requested objective nasty of being physical; the subjective nasties that are purely physical. “The generation I come from is so afraid of its blood and cum.”- Hail Marys.
When no one’s looking she dreams of being a hero- In a Tragic Romance Comedy.
At the ends of civilization you hold a sword that other now hide in court. Carrying a shield with a seal who’s motto is rusted over. For a cause forgotten your will was forged. It is a remote ritual who’s meaning only you know, and can no longer communicate to anyone you try to show.
I miss her Breasts. Like having two pairs, a change and a spare- That's the large and the curve of it.
We have guilty sorry to say for nothings because of offense we infer after the misgivings of every one of our meetings.
I know her now that she is far away in body and ago in memory of the events. She was the one the whole world had to come to to impress and coalesce or be rejected and dismissed.
There is a blind spot in out sight of the world The mind- whatever its vision, fills it in Without being asked and can not be checked.
She is the sort of woman that looks for a husband in the obituaries And a child in the personals.
I was sold as a slave on Saturday to benefit Reality. $16 to one freshman Zach. Luckily the pitch the sales announcer chose was that i give motorcycle rides (considering i drove up to the 'sales floor' on mine) not any other of my fine talents or god forbid- the promise to clean someone’s room. So yesterday i went up to the ski basin with a passenger. A little chilly but the Rebel held up wonderfully. Easiest slave gig I ever pulled.
The most complex and varied thing you will ever see with your eyes or observe in the universe are the living things- not the stars, their motions, comets, suns and moons, the elements and the debris.
get your Bling Bling on!
The house my parents bought in Dallas while i was in highschool there is being sold. Someone liked my mid purple room. I'm tickled a blue shade of pink!
There are no sorts, forms or kinds of human relationships that do not partake in some way in politics.
I've been craving pretzels for weeks now and have scarfed down those little snack bags...but the desire always comes back. Maybe i should give in to it and buy a barrel of them at Sam's.
I finally found out what it means! Those silly nuns!
