I just started a “Droogs Only” filter, so that while I’m still laid up in this geriatric rathole – and in the future- I can use LJ a little more honestly with my actual friiends and intimates, while screening it from the hoardes of teeming monkeys. So, if you can see this, revel in your…
It occured to me that I had not made the announcement here, where I could reach lots of folks at once… My team and I scored a big break. In the current issue of Heavy Metal magazine, we have a story. (May 2007, green HM logo) Now, the reason this is a big deal:Heavy Metal has…
A few good things have happened since I was newly incarcerated and trimmed neatly beneath the knee. First, Iv’e made a couple of new friends. Some folks have made an effort to travel out to bumfuck Brooklyn and visit me- Colin and some of the ladies of Rapture -, most notably Mistresses Sade and Ardenne;…
…and His Lordship’s artificial limb could not be found.So goes a favorite panel of mine from the works of Edward Gorey, and so goeth I. The saga of my ailing right foot is finally at an and, as my right leg now comes to an end just above mid- shin. Surprisingly, this is a Good…
A visit to the podiatrist today was a mixed blessing. The wound I have been nursing for months is healing well. Oxygen treatments and diligent care are paying off. But a long talk with the doc enlightened me to something I had been desperately not hearing. Many of the conditions I have been living under,…
My last week in the nursing home, I finally ran out of – well- everything. My roommate, who had up until then been quiet, had his medication changed at the insistance of his ignorant, goatfucking inbred slumcrawling family. This made him miserable- and loud. All night, every night he would cry out to God. “Oh…
“Survival is victory” I have managed to patch my life back together after my debiliating rehab stay, and have finally gotten back on line. Daddy’s home. “The only Emporor is the Emperor of Ice Cream”
Made my way down to the computer to check my mail- one computer in the Rec Room. Where they are running bingo. I am surrounded by shapeless, ancient mummies peering at their cards, if they are not asleep and snoring, drooling on their cards. They can’t hear the caller as she shouts, so every number…
My father shifted back again, and after all these years, the crazy scumbag can still get to me. The details are irrelevant. He turned and bit, savagely. His shift from “Good dad” back to “Evil Bastard John” was marked by his having no memory of the last three weeks, including the room transefer ( where…
I am rollin’ in the sweet gray haired honeys. I got your “Yoo- Hoo” right here… A care package arrived from fatr away, filled with ill gotten tools to my current state of pimpin’ style. The secret? Illegally gained orthodontic supplies. That’s right- with these black market babies, I am the man with the juice…
I have some more stories to post, but I’ve been trying to turn my efforts to my book, so I have not posted much here. However, some things need to be said in a timely fashion. Sue and Jason, thank you kindly- I especially appreciate the earplugs. (Wait until I tell you aavout Joshua, the…
Monday was, as I have mentioned, a horrifying clusterfuck. This AM started pretty poorly, too. However, one staff meeting, one doctor consultation, some sushi, and one yelled-at nurse later, equilibrium has returned. So, I wanted to address this weekend. It went nothing like I expected- but went well in a few surprising ways. Saturday, Soulhuntre…
So, as the cherry atop an utterly sucking Monday, my cell phone was destroyed. This has a number of ramifications: The one way I had established to be reached at with any continuity has been eliminated. The way I had to call out- and my phone book- is gone. The fine folk at Cobble Hill…
“Hairdressser!”“Hairdesser!”“Hairdresser?” “Yoo Hoo, hairdresser!” “Hairdresser!”….
Lots of people have been generously offering visits, calls, letters and care packages. I’ll take ’em. But I don’t want to post my address or cell number openly, nor do I have everybody’s email address here. So, if y’all are serious, send me a note at [email protected], and I’ll send you the necessary info. It’s…
