just saw Daddy and Them on showtime - what a weird fucking movie.

my bro's over in Australia this week, and he's in the papers and such over there...

here's a quote from him in an article at inthemix.com:
“I don't believe that I have necessarily established my own sound, nor do I want to. I do alot of aggressive techno as well as some lighter funky synth pieces. If there would have to be a running theme in my music though, I would say that it is constant motion. A track has to keep moving naturally, and this is the main reason I record in real-time. All of the compositional changes and EQ or filter tweaks that you hear in my tracks are done on the fly. I really cannot think of another way to work and I believe that this approach is a true asset to my sound.”

question of the day:

how is it that nipple piercing is a mortal sin under Commandment #5 - Thou shall not kill???

i have this amazing knack for having things pop up AFTER i have a visit to the doctor...monday afternoon i saw her to talk about the weirdness going on with my feet - the skin's peeling off of the bottoms, and the diabetic lori knows that's not a good thing. being rather attached to my feet and wanting to keep them for as long as possible, i went to the doc. it's not athlete's foot - nothing goin on in between my toes or anything like that - but she told me to keep em moisturized with some tinactin and follow up with a podiatrist (which i need to do anyhoo)...so i go to the pharmacy, get stuff and go home...put the stuff on my feet...later that evening, i find my legs are covered in bumps. itchy scratchy bumps - argh! only below the knee, and not actually on my feet though. what the hell?!?!? nothing that was noticeable at the doc's office - it's definitely noticeable now! so, just in case it was a reaction to the tinactin (doubt it, since my feet are bumpless) i quit using that. so here it is thursday and the stuff is still all over my legs, still itching like crazy...

and wouldn't ya know the doc's not in the office today - so i answered 247 questions from the nurse and she's gonna call back.

mom mentioned the P word when we were talking about potential rX's for this stuff - oh dear god, not prednisone! yeah, i know it's a good thing as far as knocking stuff out, but the side effects suck ass...

*itch* *scratch* argh!

how hysterical is this - dave barry mentions on his blog that he's going on vacation...so instead of reading his blog, we should all go to www.poetry.com:

"...Aspiring poets can go there and submit poems in the poetry contest, and maybe even -- incredibly -- have their poems selected for inclusion in heirloom-quality-bound volumes that are -- What are the odds of this? -- for sale!

So anyway, this blog was just thinking how interesting it would be if a whole bunch of people submitted poems that contained a certain key poetic phrase. To see how it might work, this blog submitted a poem under the pen name of "Freemont A. Harkins," entitled: "A Sad Day."

...

You can see this poem at www.poetry.com, using the search engine to search for "Freemont Harkins." Wouldn't it be fun if a lot of people submitted poems using a Pen Name that began with "Freemont" and incorporating the phrase, "the dog ate mother's toes"? Then we all could search for poems written under the first name of "Freemont" -- currently, this blog is the only one -- and see how creative everybody was!""



there are literally HUNDREDS of entries there now...i'm particularly fond of Freemont Q. Sundt's poem, "The Dog":

The Dog

My dog is quite a strange dog
Not too normal, I suppose
Last Thursday, for example
That old dog ate mother's toes

He bit them off ferociously
And fried them up in oil
He covered them in chocolate
Then he dusted them with soil

And I must give him some credit
Though my mother's hopping mad
I tried them with some salsa
And they're really not half bad
