Ooooo just now a little snippet of my life driving down Highway 280 on a Friday morning having worked a couple hours and blasting the Comic Book Whore album with interruptions for wild eyed talk about worky things and the nature of inspiration and organization and the details of a digital rights thing and and its history, and ideas off that, and how to make a sort of story out of breaking news, more phone calls, then the music up again. Then an hour of work in the french bakery on Cole, with tasty salad and salmon fritatta & smooth coffee, IM with work and my sister, picking away at tasks coming in over email. Full of unspecific energy.
then driving again with the music blasting! Her/jazz by Huggy Bear, "Boy girl revolutionaries, you LIED TOOOO MEEEEEE!" and back to Comic Book Whore's lush layered noise. Luv Song, Blank Sugar, fucking brilliant. Be Just Sound too. Well, the whole album. It's hard to rank the songs! Jensen's voice is all howly and intimate and angry and tender and sometimes screechy or dreamy... I like the layers of sound & the rhythmic complexity.
Zond-7 fed me bites of lemon meringue pie at the stop lights. I accidentally bit him.
The hot hot sun, lemon pie, melty meringue with the toasted marshmallow sticky-skinned bits on top, dissolving, behind the wheel of an enormous machine, radio blasting!
You can download that album for free thanks to Jane Jensen who made it available for her fans since it's out of print.
I'm loping around the house very well & appreciating that ability to get things when I want them, pick things up off the floor, and the other day at work, going vertical and a moment of disjunction, as I was tall as a king, seeing the world all differently than in my chair. Moments of going to 1 cane (though still hanging onto people or walls, really) or venturing to the water cooler with no cane at all (unnerving). Then when it hurts - a warning sign to stop? Or to be pushed through?
Now I am on the 3FF tech grotto couch hanging out for the afternoon to work. Oh huzzah for the air conditioning. last night in my house at 10pm the thermostat still said it was 92. I had something like 4 cold showers and wet mopped the floor a few times for the fan to cool the air. The heat destroys me more than the cold does. Cold hurts more. But heat seems to make me go all limp and raggy.
"Cold hurts more. But heat seems to make me go all limp and raggy."
That's for sure. I'm hurtin' today, but at least I can type. It'll be hot by next week and I'll be a wordless puddle.
