i just went out to cornucopia to get food i needed from there before it closed at 9pm. also needed to get a file from acme surplus. ducked thru as many back alleys as possible but couldn't help encountering hoards of happy talking people on my way. i had to avoid them kind of like how you play frogger. and that's when i realized that i know how i can describe this mental state i've been stuck in

we really are "a town divided" thanks to the growing divide betw. rich & poor as well as empathic vs. self-centered. this video doesn't do the BID issue justice but i myself am mired in an issue similar to this on a more macro scale... will most likely be returning here to rant quite soon... been busy but i'm about to blow my lid over this insane "doorbell" issue i'm having.this is not about me

ok i'm annoyed at some stupidity.i was looking up trauma/neglect/abuse/recovery stuff last night in hopes of finding a lead. i decided to find out if what happened to me, regarding my injuries & other medical issues for which i requested & was denied help, would fall under the legal definition of "neglect" under today's law, if not the law of my day. (not like i'm complaining, looking to point

i forget when this even was, but i had a thing or two to say. it's too bad that i come off as a total freakazoid. my ending suggestion i believe invalidated anything useful i had to say because it was so totally utopian & unrealistic (city council members actually getting to know homeless people as PEOPLE? well some here & there might or might have.) anyway this was at northampton city council

a recent back-and-forth on the massage school email list (contains only a few people) incl. my response to a comment and a query, the reaction to my response, and my reaction to that reaction. i left my therapist's office yesterday crying in rhyme, after she'd pointed out the obvious, that there is a time & a place for everything & of course a massage school email list where someone just had a

i think this is very funny... esp. if you go to the page that it's on because the other headlines accusing me of destroying the world are like things i can totally imagine in real life if i haven't already seen them. if you don't know what i'm talking about just buy richard rushfield's book when it comes out!

it's been a long time since i wrote anything here... la la la, let's see what's changed. i am soooooooo fucking tired, that hasn't changed. another thing that hasn't changed is that i haven't gotten any further on megan's video. i'll tell you why. it starts with that freedom center party that only freedom center people came to where that turned out to be a good thing because half of us are

sadly there was no video of me hooping w/bucket bennie... but it was a transformative moment. looking for an actual recording of him so i can piece something together using his music instead of a substitute like i used here.

i was channelling my departed friend melissa last night when i made this & i dedicate it to her & all her loved ones. i don't really think i can channel, but as i've been going a bit psycho in general the impossible has become possible. anyway it's my first hooping/etc video that i actually like at all... a dance for missy from Jenna Wikler on Vimeo.

well, just when i thought i'd had enough, i learned that a friend from college, who lived right near here in springfield and was on facebook almost every day, had suddenly died. i would write about it here but so far as i know the results of the autopsy either aren't in or they haven't been made public - in any case our mutual friends (who were closer to her than i was) haven't learned anything

amy goodman & her staff got arrested while covering the RNC - outside of the convention, where the protests were taking place. ok, like seriously, if i hear anyone talking about the "freedoms" we enjoy here as americans, i'm pretty sure i'm gonna punch them in the face.

well... for the past couple weeks i've been learning to spin poi. i got a set about a year ago but never really learned anything but the basic front-crossover. my own limitations kept me from proceeding. suddenly this summer it occurred to me to start hunting down tutorials on youtube and that's what i've been doing with pretty much ALL of my non-hooping, non-social, and non-working time. in

i went to the most spectacular show last night: the she & him concert at the academy of music. the "she" is zoey deschanel, whom i've only known as an actress playing cool quirky roles in indie films, and m. ward, whose music i've loved for some time. it was interesting seeing him basically just playing & singing backup for her, when he's such a monumental musical force in his own right. i think

oh what a month it's been!!! hooping season is in full swing, i've got my sister's maniacal cat pancho living with me, and i just spent the last 4 or so weeks working with marc israel (great filmmaker & a true friend) on a music video for his newest song, "barkley the cat". i'm very fond of this project (and kind of sad that it's over) and i'm also very very fond of barkley, the cat. he's going

james kunstler has a useful & informative website called clusterfuck nation. i've read a few of his non-fiction books & i think they're great... if extremely disturbing. but he has a way of writing that's very funny and he can make you laugh while reading about extreme doomsday-ish scenarios for the future. his newest book is a novel and i haven't read it yet, but i just discovered that he was
