I only very
recently came into my own when I moved into the gutted iMac about eight
days ago. Gotta love these blue plastic curtains. I would have moved into
a PC, but Windows, dead or alive, makes me nervous. Fucking brutal. It's
like that time I got some ass from a well-endowed hairdryer and ended
up with second degree burns all over my nether regions.
Now I'm just settling down to some homemade rhubarb juice, spiked up with
Dirtytail and an ounce of You-Know-What-You-Sad-Novelist. It's a Southern
thing, you wouldn't understand. Because haircuts don't cost two bits anymore,
do they? And ever since the war, my hand has had a very slight metallic
taste. Don't even get me fucking started.
My sister had a fur coat. Got goddamn killed by The Greenpeace. They just
burst into her apartment with golf clubs and cornered her by the coffee
table. "How do you feel about your furry friends now?" they
said. "Can you hear their souls shrieking for vengeance?" My
sister was a beautiful girl, you know. Had to identify her by the dental
records. I usually enjoy my monthly visit to the coroner, but that put
a real damper on things.
Which brings me back to this problem of scapegoating in the the northeastern
Pennsylvania school systems. That was definitely the leanest, meanest
PTA I've ever encountered. I'll tell you all about it next time. Let me
just say that the whole experience reminded me of that crazy weekend in
Berkeley, except without the castrated spider monkey. You know how it
is.
