"Good Shit"

Whoah Fela Kuti had thirty wives! I did not know that, but I'm sure glad his music and political activism are back in the spotlight. I remember being introduced to Fela so many years ago, ahh memories.

The other day on The Colbert Report the cast of Fela! performed, Zombie, a song from the new Broadway show. I was both surprised and impressed. Neat! I think I'm going to be on a Fela kick for awhile, which is nice because it makes me feel warm and want to dance all over, when it's cold and all I want to do is wrap up and read books.

Hey, it's Friday, and thank goodness for that! I think this week was the longest of the year. Winter solstice week from hell!

(Vocals start about six minutes in!) Mmm!

In addition to my automobile being held ransom by Meineke I just took a peep at the prices of my books for next semester and they equal nearly one half of my tuition.

Wah wahhhh.

One of my "books" is a "coloring book" for thirty bucks! REQUIRED. My most expensive book is almost three hundred bones, and naught to be found on the discount websites. English books are infinitely cheaper than Science books. Of course.

Oh well.

Back to frugal town.

LOL

That is the only time I will ever write that in my entire life, but I just realized how comically bad the haircut is that I gave myself this weekend.

YO

I'm busy.

Word.

Celebrating the Hollows

I haven't wanted to really write anything for a long time. Here am I bursting with ideas the last couple of days and I can't seem to bring myself to put pen to paper, or at the very least a blank word processor.

At night is when my mind really starts itself moving. I'm all cozy and my head starts spinning yarns but I just lay in bed. I repeat them three times in my head convinced that they are powerful enough to stay with me through a couple hours of sleep. Most days I wake up not even knowing I was trying to remember anything.

Damn damn damn.

I should probably just keep a pen and pape by my bed, and quit being so goddamned lazy or something.

Grrrumble

Dreams that wake me up and keep me on edge all day make me feel weeirrrd.

:(

Oh boy

So tired, want to cuddle.

On Law

If you think it's about keeping you safe you are kidding yourself. It's about maintaining order. I just fully realized this today. What a revelation.

ORDER SCHMORDER.

Have a great weekend kids. I know I will.

Dangerous Times

I forgot how freeing it is to speed down an interstate at midnight with Simon and Garfunkel blaring in the speakers.

Old mix cds bring back memories of dust and hilarity and every emotion in between. Yes, dust is an emotion, reserved solely for ghosts.

Since when did I get so organized? Maybe this is why I can't seem to get enough sleep these days.

OR MAYBE I have some weird strain of the pig flu floating around behind my eyes and porking with my brain? Maybe.

Going to sleep.

They Call it that for a Reason

This weekend ruled. Why?

1) Shaved heads.

2) Patterned tights.

3) Magic.

4) Friends that make you feel at home.

5) Oranges, high life, and sips of rum.

6) Sweaty palms and busy intersection kisses.

7) Warm weather and sinking into piles of leaves.

8) Dads.

9) Music before bed.

10) Warm showers in the morning.

Don't let me forget:

11) Big fluffy robes.

Ahhh.
