My Stimulus Plan Benefit

So, somebody decided that rather than send us a check for $300 or $600 or whatever, that they would lower the tax rate or something and we would bring more money home weekly. Well, my checks are $9.71 more a week than before. Sounds lame, I know, but it is $42.07 a month or $504.92 a year. So, ok, I'll take it.

Reading...

I (AGAIN) abandoned the book I was reading, for another. I decided to read Junky by William Burroughs before Naked Lunch. He wrote it first, so I thought I would start there. I'm almost done and then I'll go back to Naked Lunch. Maybe it will make more sense.

Anyway, Junky was written...well, by a junkie. It's really interesting to read about late 40s, early 50s people who were druggies. I didn't even know there was such a drug problem back then.

Blog Slacker

I've been a blog slacker. I've been busy, lazy, uninspired, etc, etc. I'm coming out of it and have several things to blog about...

Naked Lunch - A Frozen Moment When Everyone Sees What Is On The End Of Every Fork. W.B.

This is the book I am currently reading. I actually started 2 other books and then I went on an internet book shopping spree and now have about 6 books to read.

Anyway, I think this one will be quite interesting...to me anyway. I like musician biographies and got into reading about the 60s LA music scene and the hippie scene, but then I slipped farther back into the beat generation...Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsburg...and the author of Naked Lunch, William Burroughs. This book was quite controversial and banned in some places in the USA and there was an obscenity trial about it. Apparently, the book is from notes written by Burroughs, that he doesn't remember writing, over a period of time when he was a junky. I've already learned a couple of expresssions that I like...the title for one...Naked Lunch...relating to nakedness of seeing, to be able to see clearly without any confusing disguises...and another one...Newspaper Spoon - refering to being presented or "spoonfed" news, information and facts, the way in which the media bends reality.

I'll update (maybe) when I get farther along in the book.

What Happened To My House Dream?

I don't like dreaming. I never have. I don't usually remember good dreams, only weird scary dreams. I used to have a recurring house dream...it wasn't always bad and it wasn't always the same house...it was always a huge house with several bedrooms, living rooms and dining rooms...I know, who needs more than one or two living rooms and dining rooms...and it was always fully furnished, like somebody just left it...and it was always now mine...it was sometimes haunted and spooky...I would be going through the house, looking through all the rooms, that were all connected by doors, not by hallways...and going through all of the stuff...old clothes, dresses, jewelry, pictures, knick knacks, everything...it was an interesting dream, even though it was sometimes scary.

Now I seem to have a new recurring dream...a mouthful of glass!! WTF? I've had this dream several times now...it's not always exactly the same place or the same circumstance, but I always take a big drink of something and then realize I have a mouth full of glass, and then I'm trying to get it out of my mouth without swallowing or cutting the inside of my mouth.

I miss my house dreams...even the scary ones.

French Letter Ecofriendly Condoms

Dear John,

Some things are tough to say in person. Like, your junk is boring. I mean, physically it excites me (well done, BTW), but it’s just so, um, beige.

Of course, you must wear a condom (sorry, you’re not daddy material). But you should liven things up with French Letter Condoms. The new penile accessories come in red and yellow, studded for stimulation, scented (vanilla or passion fruit), or with a potency ring for performance enhancement. And the shiny tinfoil-like wrapper nails the condom-of-the-future look.

The Brits behind the jaunty raincoats are into fair play: The workers on the rubber plantation receive proper wages and benefits. Not to mention the condoms are completely vegan (suck it, animal lovers).

Well, that pretty much wraps things up.

No glove, no love,
Sally

My Quote Of The Day

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
~ Jack Kerouac ~
