i can not find it on an italian keyboard

Well i give up for now- it just takes me far too long to type a single post on an Italian keyboard. For now this scant bit of fluff will have to suffice. Caio caio blogging. I will endevor to type more on my journey when i can get a keyboard my fingers know.

On may 20th I.W.I.L.W. = Melissa York of The Butchies as they played The Knitting Factory. She was sort of like a special ed teacher who got over her ADD by drumming.

On may 25th I.W.I.L.W = Elizabeth Barrett Browning, that hopped up laudanum junkie. Brown poppies indeed...you can tell it all by what's about her eyes.

And Y.I.W.I.L.W. = Deadly little Miho.

You know, maybe i should change the whole "today i am in love with" tag to "today i am hot for" in the appropriate cases as it is more accurate...

Ha! I blog you from Itralia! I guess i'm in a bad neighbourhood, curled in a corner at an internet cafe while the cloths get washed and i dream of that nice game meat restaurant all the way across town (to do or die by motorscooter is the question of the night). There are some tranny prositutes outside the wig store and some really drunk indian men in front of the candy store down the street. I had an exhaustive day today seeing every major roman ruin on a kamakazi tourist spree around the city with mum. My desire to do some urban exploration may get me into trouble yet. I feel like saying no more since i'm more pooped than the old pope, except that i saw two hobos, a dog, a cat on top of the dog, and a bunny by the dog's head- all of them sound asleep for siesta. Caio for now.

It was my mother’s dying wish to see this.

Now that I have finally found out what the phrase ‘pass that dutch’ means, I can especially enjoy the Missy Elliott song of the same title.

Update:

Moving is done (though still awaiting furniture), i am satisfied. I have a sprawling quirky bachelor pad again!
Written several really awful lyrics (i blame being out of practice at barding and suddenly being around music composition again).
Wrote a series of short letters to myself AS the third person. Can't decide if they're worthwhile using in any way.
Shirley Q., my favorite drag queen, wrote me back.
Met another visual artist who went ahead and pitched into a comic project i had going on.
Met an agent who wants to see my work (we'll see if he's for real).
Just a little less stressed about the trip to Italy with mum. But not by much.
Can't seem to write in any full sentances...

Things that bloom in spring.

steepings has blooming tea. See they cut a specially dry whole flowers for these teas so that when you pop the whole folded up flower heads in hot water they ‘bloom again’ as the water becomes infused with their essence.
Nifty. But a little hoity-toity. The true test is if it tastes any good.

while we're at it Teamap is helpful.

T.I.A.I.L.W.: Jessica Biel as Abigail Whistler. Just because she went to Nico’s highschool in Boulder, and not for the way she holds a bow.

So many boosted links I’m gonna bust!

FreeCycle is nice. I’m hoping to score a bicycle for summer cruising and was directed here.

InActionHeroes I actually saw an add for on the telle while at a sports bar- I would have thought it all a joke but for the fact it was a network cable station.

While at ‘Big Lots’ I noticed 12 packs of Lime Ramen on sale. Ha-cha-cha Yes that’s right. And no I have not partaken of it.

Remember music made from the digits of Pi? Try Algorythmic art and music.

Ilovebees is something that seems like it would be cool could I bloody well figuer out what it actually IS.

More mindless internet entertainment can be found at EbaumsWorld

Soda Constructor is fun for you tech and mech geeks.

A good Invader Zim webring where you can find yourself some useful Zim sounds.

Talk to aliens. You know they love to hear from meat.

How much is inside Vegemite? Is another wonderful Cockeye experiment.

Willy Warmers. And look! They made a nose warmer! It’s the only part of my face that actually gets irritatingly cold in winter.

No pants day came and went and all I saw was a six year old pull down him pants. I guess I can go ahead and try the anti-panty now.

You can see how much he wants to skewer the president. I have a peculiar reaction of utter comedy and revulsion every time I see a pic of dear Bushy these days. He does have a thing for patting bald heads though, you know.

Numbers never hurt so bad to watch. I wonder if there’s a death toll one too?

Some unintentionally sexual comic book covers. *chortle* I like the one with the cowboy, the boy and the log.

Crazy bicycle people.

For well informed travelers with other things in mind.

Post a secret.

Rubber stamp madness. But trust me, you can’t find one of a beefeater or a royal guardsmen. Nyah!

I bet his daddy paid for it.

Johnny Neschintz, simultaneous bane and anti-hero of St. John's College got himself a frikkin' website.

They found the tracks of what was an 8 foot long creature that resemples a millipede in Espanola. Only it's about 15 inches wide. Check it out for yourself. It gave me the willies thinking about it, all Naked Lunch 'black meat' style.

More comic people with websites:

His comic covers are soft and fuzzy. MMmm, I like them tactile comics so gooood.

A bloke from the local group who’s on tour now. For the life of me I don’t really understand what the tour actually constitutes but yes, I like his stuff.

Speaking of locals, there’s Jamie, who I like very much, and who likes Guinness too. He’s doing work for a new indy Japanese movie about a Samurai’s old sword, ‘Tengu’. And there’s Tony, who I also like very much, and who I’m really going to bug (and help) to get his own comic epic done.

And the best news, Sam Keith’s new comic! Wooo! About time! Go werewolves!

T.I.A.I.L.W.: Mich. State Women’s Basketball team coach, Joanne P. McCallie, because of the face she makes when her girls score. Even if she does like Ayn Rand. Yech. At least these things only last a day.

I finally figuered out who made the Icarus falling statue that's out by the greenhouse at St. John's. It's Gib Singleton and i'm impressed.

I see a whole greeting card line coming on.

I got you gonorrhea. Bottled gonorrhea in a little perfume vial. But perhaps you would have liked the scratch, sniff and lick stickers better my dear.

Maybe it is the cold of the NE that makes for those swingin’ gin dives filled with intriguing gritty angel women on the mike singing lounge tunes. Otherwise, why bother? If it’s hot, don’t pack them in, play the music in the streets with whoever wants to join.

Wearing a mid blue turtle neck, green army sweater, leather jacket and chaps at The Cowgirl this week, a middle aged gent told me, “You look like a 21st century cowgirl.”

Vaginal suppository bottles are the last place anyone will go looking for a stash. But please, only to remember to 'keep refrigerated'.

Bar run down:

Spiritualist women with awful fake accents are drinking house wine and whining about the price.
Insecure girl at bar wearing a barrette and sneakers trying to impress too think Chicano man who keeps looking either past her or at her boobs.
The weight of the cocktail waitresses heels as she passes on the wooden floor before me. She’s at least 6 foot, fake blond.
A middle aged couple- having an affair.
Petit Chinese woman complimenting a burly tummied white guy on his ‘loss of weight’
Ghandi look alike (ut without the hunger strikes and add cowboy boots) shuffles along dancing with a woman in one arm and a drink in the other.
The tall skinny just turned 40 blond looking for a man to dance with and finding none.
Sugar daddy dyke following her hot black young thing to a back table, not letting her out of her sight for a second. The hot young thing enjoying the attention, distracted, of her daddy on her bubble butt and everyone else that may be looking at it.
Unfortunately the corner I’m in, though cleaned and looking nice, still smells faintly of vomick.
No wonder I never come here.

Growing my hair out I’m getting mistaken for a strait chick. It’s just amusing to me at this stage. I even play along with it somewhat by remain pronoun ambiguous. Ah, ambiguity.

Booked my ticket to NYC. I will be gracing the streets on the 18th, trying to breath and NOT get seasick in a taxi again. I'll meet up with mum the 21st and we'll fly to Rome. I'll be gone for a month just so you know. Projects will just have to be put on hold.

My only real plan is to aikido throw the first Italian bloke who tries to pinch my arse, and to buy many 'Popeners' bottle openers from the Vatican Giftshop. And perhaps if i'm lucky find some masquerade event. I am disgruntled that i must wear something that covers my shoulders and knees while visiting the old churches. I suppose if a woman does't she's odviously got to be some sort of trollop. Fah. My solution is to buy new wifebeaters and bring some t-shirts, putting the t-shirt on and off as needed. Also i will buy some of those convertale light weight swishy pants for hiking, the kind you can remove the bottom legs of and zip them back on, in kind with the t-shirts plan.

I hear they've come up with some wonderfully colourful names for the new pope in NYC. While i'm thinking of it, are you legally aloud to protest in the Vatican City?

today's adventurers.

Nearly got sideswiped today while ridding around on the bike. Also Escalades who’s drivers decided to drive on the wrong side of the road and people who think stopping in the middle of the parking lot to find out where they are on the map is ok. No wonder I only come out after 5pm. I wonder if anyone ever did end up creating the Bill Hicks inspired ‘people who hate people’ club. No, of course not, 'fuck you i hate people too'.

But, on the up side, when you make friends in Fe you make friends.

Having shared a drink with a friend and his friends a while ago, one of the guys who was there and who works at a coffee shop I patrol just gave me net access, a nifty cheese and spinach thing and some phoenix pearls tea. He's a comic lover too. The artist I was suppose to meet at the cafe never showed though. Grr.

Bartered with the school’s Buildings and Grounds guys for two bookshelves, a love seat, desk, chair, table, armchair, and typewriter for $30. Don't get too excited, this is mostly use and throw away sort of furniture, which is all i actually need it for. I was incredibly tempted to take the nurse’s old examination table that was up for sale. Stirrups and all. So many very naughty ideas, such a great addition to anyone’s yard.

In summation, things even out.

If only I hadn’t left my wallet in El Dorado.

Tonight: Bernadette Seacrest and Her Yes Men.

The junkie flunkie

Last week a man the state had put at least 1 million dollar into in medical expenses died. He was Santa Fe’s most famous junkie, and as there’s been some bad junk going around, and as expected the bad junk finally came around to it’s biggest user. So he OD’ed at a café and they could not resuscitate. Everyone who knew of him was somewhat surprised, many were obviously relieved. I just wondered is he gets an obituary.

My kind of officer.

Now let me tell you all about Albuquerque’s esteemed Officer Timmy. Officer Timmy was a dummy who sat in an old cop car on a busy main street in Abq, just to make people slow down. However, Timmy was on duty again and again and again, and people figured it out. So Timmy got ‘days off’ so that it would all look a little more realistic. But ‘people’ then took Timmy’s car for a ride. And all of Burq was quite confused.
