This morning I took the Bean out in the pitch dark of morning to walk around the bayou. We made our circle near General Beauregard’s statue and were headed back when the sky broke into this scarlet gauzy red. Awestruck, we crossed the Friendship bridge and as we were making our way back to the Can, a rainbow peaked out from behind the clouds and suddenly grew more intensely visible and wider stretching all the…
Well the rotten mood seems pervasive amongst all my peeps. G back from NY in a foul humor. T down the hall said to watch out because she’s in a nasty mood. Meanwhile, on Sunday when S came by to talk about the house he said we needed hinges and asked if I wanted to pay the expense of having the old kind of brass balltop hinges to match the rest of the house and…
I drove by mom’s house on my way back from Metairie and caught her trying to water her decrepit looking flowers with this huge watering can. The past two times I was there she had this totally retarded guy doing her flowers. I say that not kindly – because he is a freak not someone with a disability – she lent him money and he could never pay her back so she told him to…
My truck has been held hostage by the slow Veterans Ford who discovered that I had all sorts of rocks and debris in my rotors on my brakes. Meanwhile, I rode my bike to E’s and we had a good fun session. I told her I don’t feel in control of my emotions and she laughed. Duh, you can’t control your emotions, she said. Well I want to, I said. And she laughed again. I’m…
Would it be great to have Oscar Wilde at a cocktail party? The only thing that sustains one through life is the consciousness of the immense inferiority of everybody else, and this is a feeling that I have always cultivated. – Oscar Wilde
Jeffrey Skilling gets 24 years for screwing over countless people not to mention an entire country and investors and my brother gets 30 years for messing around with a savings and loan? Good grief, surely there is no justice in this world. Unbelievable.
Besides being awakened at the wee hours to see if I knew a judge who could get a friend of a friend out of Central Lockup – the day started brightly – I love sleeping with the windows open and breathing real air. Rode my bike uptown to work out and then over to Ricca’s to get hinges for all the rest of the doors being hung at the LaLa. No brass hinges – they…
Over here in RachelLand, we have a good time, yeah. IMing with my writer friend R earlier, he was cottoning to the whole fuck off notion and had tickled me so I was giggling for a while after – then later IMing with a colleague who had read my blog on telling people to fuck off and she said she had such a long list to tell – then she started making me belly laugh.…
I just walked back from the LaLa where I told K to fuck off. Ever since he came back he can’t open his mouth without saying something negative. Talking to B about the siding he said well it might leak but then again this whole house has leak problems. That was a few days ago and I corrected him and told him the house had been standing sound and sure longer than he has been…
Last night was one of the first in the season to be able to sleep with the windows open – a crisp coldish breeze was blowing in all night. I drove Blue to Metairie to bring it in for the brakes then rode my bike uptown for Pilates and back to MidCity to start work in earnest. Ford said they need to keep the truck for possibly two or more days – it’s what I…
