KHftCEA 1999-04.1 April
Love me tender, Love me sweet, Never let me go... --- (Yes, I'm typing just to type on this keyboard. I'm odd like that.) 99-4-1 --- "Don't matter how gorgeous she is, some guy's tired of (fucking) her." --alibaba@Hawaii.edu's grandpaw --- Driving + ranting, then completely disarmed by the older asian man waggling moose ears at me. 99-4-6 --- The Sportsman's Guide makeover is looking even uglier than I expected. Makes it tough not to try to run away. What kind of loyalty do I have? 99-4-7 --- I just realized I now view buying (overpriced?) books as a method of voting, of supporting a particular author. I guess that lets me justify buying stuff I should otherwise look for at the library. 99-4-8 --- When he was growing up, my father lived under what he likes to describe as "harsh circumstances" in a small, ugly apartment. By harsh circumstances my father means that they had a curtain instead of a bathroom door. He never had a bedroom and had to sleep on a back-breaking foldout sofa and go to work before and after school, shining shoes and selling newspapers. He has a point there, that's harsh. Unfortunately, they never gave him a medal for it and as a result he brings it up time and time again. --David Sedaris, "My Manuscript" --- mo's laundry bags colin ross --- "The first time ever kissed a man I was in a blue rental Geo Metro." --D. 99-4-11 --- I ran into Anne from Monticello Middle School yesterday. She was working at the book store at the Galleria. She called me Logan. She says she went to film school in Syracuse, but now is trying to break into writing mysteries. Kind of neat to run into an example of small world syndrome. 99-4-13 --- empty dorm room; two red earrings by the unmade bed --- Massachusetts Institute of Technology physicist Walter Lewin has calculated that there are 80 billion trillion atoms in a dollar bill! --Ripley's Believe It or Not!, 99-4-15 --- "Lets remember to pray for Mrs. Lance- she injured herself quite seriously, breaking her leg in two places." "Sounds like we have to keep her out of those kinds of places..." --Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Israel --- "Don't call me a bitch when we're making love, it really pisses me off." --- mo gets $47.68 for her coins' 99-4-19 --- "Turnpike!" "Where? Did you see a sign?" “No, for a name: Turnpike Israel.“ "Grrr- how about 'Dumbass Israel'?" K+R Summer 1996 --- Scott Getchell wrote a cool cartoon, 98-12-11 Boston Phoenix --- Haven't had a lot to write down this month. Maybe it's the rush of moving (in about 24 hours the movers will be unloading in the new place.) Mo thinks we should get a joint account, just for bills that will be split 50/50. Lisa points out that's just about getting married. (And the sofa's already in the living room.) I'm also not keeping up my goal of mentioning my thoughts on big current events, of making the KHftCEA not entirely self-absored. Well, there's the Nato action against Yugoslavia, which is feeling more and more like a mistake to me. Frankly, I'm not sure that preventing ethnic cleansing (while some of the mass killing reports *may* be true, it's no holcaust-) is worth provoking Russia and China. It's a much more ambigous situation than anyone lets on to. There's also the event of the "trench Coat Mafiosos" killing 16 people in the Colorado Highschool. Man, besides the evil of this kind of happening, the gunmen sound ike total dorks. People find it too easy to blame the media and video games. Hey, just because they made their high school cafeteria into a big game of DOOM doesn't mean its the videogames' fault. 99-4-23 --- "Evaporation is God's paper towel" -Dylan Murray --- Book of fun poems: "Polkabats + Octopus Slacks" (from NPR) 99-4-24 --- "Whoa, like, lay off my headbone, daddy-o." The Onion's Our Dumb Century, "Area Beat Beaten" --- "Life's to short to buy green bananas" --check slogan --- Got a joint account w/ Mo today- next best thing to being married. The bank rep was a little flighty- told us this random story about being scorned by a clerk in a clothing store. 99-4-29 |
