fire wind earth and air, i don't have no underwear
well, more news about my laptop.
it's going to cost considerably more to fix than i first anticipated.
in fact for 150$ more, i can get a shiny new one.
so that's what i'm doing.
should be here in a week or so i hope.
auditions tomorrow.
i've got two monologues ''prepared''.
i'm actually memorized but i'm still shaky on them both.
today will be a day of me muttering monologues under my breath, instead of the usual stuff about the end of the world, rightwing govermental conspiracies, and pudding.
this is the first audition where i was nervous that i would get a part in something, instead of just the opposite.
but, by monday all you folks should know (and know you will) what the results are.
and by all you folks... i mean bruce.
it's breezy today.
oh yeah.
breezy.
and cloudy.
i hope, beyond hopes, that the clouds role in and we get a bit of rain.
that would be lovely.
i also hope those monsters who promised to return and eat my brains don't come back.
they're scary.
ordo borbo papo
wow!
i mean....wah owh!
ok maybe not, maybe i don't mean either one.
after all they are just utterances we asign meaning too with in the context they're in.
verbal grunts at the very basic level of communication, when pulled out of the context in which they were first uttered have virtually no meaning or relationship to something meaningful.
but you can bet your ass, there's meaning behind it initially.
wow, has actually become fairly english universal, though notice how the meaning changes based on the context it's uttered in.
birthday present - WOW!
seeing a hot babe/dude for the first time - WOW!
(ok, those have similar meanings)
seeing some one get beat up - WOW!
finding out your cat just died - WOW!
the response is the same, but the emotional context is different.
it can be something indicating enthusiasm, disbelief, overwhelmingness, distraught, and it can even be used sarcastically to indicate unenthusiasm or apathy.
isn't language wonderful.
its starting to want to be fall.
it's not yet, the sun still hangs hot and heavey in the sky.
women (bless them all) are still wandering around in complimentary atire that the summer brings on.
beads of sweat still form on the forehead and cheek during the brink of a hot day.
but you can smell it.
fall that is, creeping up on the summer goddess like a cat hunting birds.
won't be long now, another week or two.
the nights are getting cooler.
the need for a warm blanket has become obvious, topping the thin sheet from before.
nope, won't be long now.
news on the computer front, well shouldn't be an issue.
i'm either going to fix the one i got, which won't be as expensive as i thought it might be, which is the most likely option.
or
i'm going to replace it, which probably won't happen for several or many months if i fix the old one....
so, it's about what you'd expect then.
i mean, you didn't expect me to tell you that i was going to eat it with brusselsprouts and cheese did you?
though that does sound good.
news on the assfront
well, good news is i'm healing rather well.
went to the docs yesterday and he was quite pleased with the progress i've made.
i no longer have any 'open' wounds and that nonsense, just some raw meet that needs to be healed up now.
unfortunantly i'm still in... well it isn't really pain, before all this i would have considered it such, but not now.
discomfort is the word i'm looking for.
i'm still in some discomfort and that sucks.
but if things heal right (and apparently they are) then that will go away in a week or two also.
no more nurses visits, that's nice.
no more packing of the wound.
i still do dressing changes, but i take care of those all by myself now.
the unfortunant thing about that is, well i can't quite see what i'm doing.
next time i get an absess i want it some place i can see..... ok, maybe not.
well, time to get back to work and get back to monologues...
