Okay- so I haven't been really great at keeping the blog going full speed.
Fortunately, there's nothing on the line as far as that goes. Last night, I ended up going to the Castro with leila and a gaggle of her boyz. Had a snoot full, and looked at lots of crazy, drunken/drugged revelry. It was what it usually is.
V and I went to a party on Saturday. Unfortunately, I was too busy being in agony to enjoy it very much. It seems as though i didn't properly clean my spooky contacts last time I put them away. I was then dopey enough to leave them in for a few hours, even while my eyes screamed at me. By the time the night was through, I was pretty incapacitated. I awoke yesterday with my eyes glued shut with goo, and when I looked in the mirror, I knew that I had better go to the hospital. There, I discovered that i am the happy owner of some new microbes. Yep- got me a case of pink eye in both of my eyes. Now I get to put some fancy vaseline in them, in order to go a killin' my new pets. Yuuuum! Right now, I look like I smoked a pound of pot. It's charming.
While sporting these fancy peepers, I am sitting in the airport, waiting for a plane that will take me to Colorado. It's my mom's birthday today, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing her. I'll be there for a bit less than a couple of weeks if all goes to plan. Then I'll come back, put in a couple of weeks on the torch, and head back out for Thanksgiving.
Boy, am I curious to see how the election debacle will turn out. I'm sure it'll be pretty decisive, since Diebold will be kind enough to hand the whole thing over to the creep show that is currently in power. I have so many friends who talk of the frustration at trying to have a political discussion with people who are supporters of those fools. I just can;t bring myself to do it. The evidence is so overwhelming that they are recklessly messing with the world in a greedy,dishonest, hubristic, foolhardy and dangerous manner, that one obviously would have to have exceedingly powerful blinders on. Blinders that strong, are impervious to influence. Fortunately, there is early voting in California, so I have already made my dissent official.
Last week, there was a gentleman on the radio who was speaking about the way that our society is set up. One of the things that he said that really stuck with me, is that he said that our system encourages people to want what they don;t need, and to not want what they do need. I definitely agree with that. I was having a conversation with one of Leila's friends last night about internet connectivity in remote places. He was saying that in Alaska, the government subsidizes telephony, and consequently the internet as well. It's interesting to me that phone access is seen as a necessity, but healthcare is not. We are all insane.
Here is my plane.
The big, fat words of eeno at November 01, 2004 09:40 AMDang, een, you didn't tell me you had pink-eye!! Do I have to worry now? (Did I touch anything of yours?)
Eww!
(Although I keep remembering an episode of "Ren & Stimpy" where it was discovered that cats' hairballs are a surefire cure for pink-eye. Mallery can cough up a few for you, if'n you want... heh....)
dood, If you knood anything about ancient African proverbs, yoo'd know, to get rid of pink eye you gots to go in the front yard and howl at the moon. People might think anyone else was crazy, but with you, theres no real worry.
hehe
