They state that they do not sell nor give your name and info to anyone at all. Great service. My second address is [email protected] thanks to the AmEx people.

Sitting in bed, at 6:12am, bored out of my skull because I can't get to sleep, and there's nothing but drivel, alternating between surfing some sites I've neglected (Mark's being one of them) and re-reading an old Ellison book, a collection of columns from the late 60's in the Los Angeles Free Press. I live the life, baby.

New site. Yummy. Happy 30th, btw. Hope it didn't affect you badly :)

I should be in bed, but I'm looking over old journal entries I wrote to myself. It was a great practice I think I'll get back into. I was much more poetic when I was depressed. My current poetry is lacking, somehow. I used to come up with things like "What is life but a stupid series of fractured memories connected by a weak web of emotion?". Despair really brings out the best in me...

Saturday night I spent at home calling everyone I know but no one was home. I proceeded to get drunk, alone, by consuming an entire bottle of Pinot Noir while watching Tootsie. Dustin Hoffman was so cute. It made me want to do something more creative with my life, and made me wonder for the umpteen millionth time why life isn't like movies and why I can't reconcile that truth to myself.

Oh My. My chicken does indeed smell wonderful. It's been a wonderful martini hour; wonderful enough to extend it by another 2 hours. Best of all, I didn't need to resort to sticking my hands into the chicken. My neighbor Wendell put on the gloves and took care of it for me. I can't recommend enough the importance of a good martini set.

Thinking about Rose's chicken. What kind of gloves are used when you touch a chicken? I think it's a wonderful idea. It reminds me of my best friend Adam. He loves to bake chicken with rosemary. He is also a clean freak, I wonder if he uses gloves. I'm also thinking about the importance of a good martini set. How come I feel like I do most of the work around here?

I coughed and something strange came out. Something with no hair on it. I put it in a box. Two years later I went to a party at the Hyacinth House. I did not know the meaning of the party, but our Host was perhaps one of the most beautiful women in the world. We never got the chance to talk, but her name whispered from all my pockets. "SSSSSusan" yes, Susan. I went out to my car where I kept the thing I had coughed. The colors had changed in shade sligtly and it had shrunk a little in size, but it was still very nice. Pause. Look to the sky. I put it down and cut it in half. I put half back and carried the other half back in to the party, hiding it under my coat so noone could see. Later, I hid it in a secret place in her house. The next day I read the papers. Someone had misspelled 'potatoes'. That night the door knocked. "Susan," I whispered. She held the half object in her hand.

It was smoking.
