Tuesday night – 777

Leave a comment

Hissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss..  that’s the sound in my head right now. I have had 4 hours of sleep, a high fever,  1 claritin and 1.5 glasses of wine and about  13 hours of really, really intense technical phone calls. It’s a pleasant feeling, but I’m no longer really coherent .   In fact.. i don’t think i was any better at the beginning of the day

i did one really useful thing today and that was … i voted. today was town meeting day, which I completely missed.. but Diane did scourge me to get dressed, stand up., get in the car, and perform my civic duty of voting. It’s a right which i cherish.. and I really love the way democracy is practiced in our little town. I love the fact that I need to ‘state my name’ to  my neighbor and friend that’s managing the voting.

one cool thing that did happen after I voted my liberal/commie line was that Diane’s ballot was 776.. that made mine 777 .. an auspicious number because.. ummmm.. because.. it just looks cool. here’s the grand count before my vote. a pedestrian ‘776’

then my vote made it the hyper auspicious ‘777’

 
that makes my day complete.. All it will take is another night of fever delirium and insomnia to contemplate the significance

Monday night – Claritin-D

Leave a comment

 

I have a mini version of the flu which kept me from takign a trip to California this week and has me sneezing, coughing and aching.. but…… It also has me floating around on a cloud of Claritin D

oi don’t know what makes something ‘over the counter’ but this stuff.. billed as a decongestant is an abusable drug.. Ever since taking one this afternoon i feel like im in some sort of 1960’s movie.. where my head is floating about 10 feet above my body, I’m getting psychedelic flashes of color in my peripheral vision and the walls are breathing (they are,man !) .. my typing even sucks worse than usual..

I think i must have a delicate constitution.. but this stuff has me orbiting Planet 10… .. and I have this great soundtrack goign in my brain

One pill makes you larger
and one pill makes you small
and the ones that Mother gives you
don’t do anything at all

I’ll share it with you if i can find it.. it’s Gillian Welch channeling Grace Slick..doing “White Rabbit: ah.. here it is: .. you may have to do a few clicks.. but it’s worth listening to

Remember.. what the doormouse said !

Sunday night – keyboard

Leave a comment

Ugh… I think i’m getting the flu.. .. or something like it.. fever, achy, cough, stuffed up.. it’s clouding my mind as well. I’ve been so busy i think i’ve run myself down. This weekend was good down time.. but the germs seemed to be persistent. Drag.. because I have another busy week coming up (and another.. then another.. then another.. )

I was lying in bed working this afternoon when I found this on twitter. My friend Mike’s band just started touring with a bunch of cool new stage effects. The theme is Moire.. the cool pattern you get when you hold tow screens up and miss-align them. … my friends homer, john, colin jarred and I built the long keyboard thingy you see the audience playing here in a gig in NYC last night.it’s is a programmable capacitive touch keyboard thats almost 30 feet long all lit with moire patterns. . it’s really nice to see the crowd digging it..

ok.. gotta get soemthign to eat.. then back to bed.. snif..

Saturday night – heart and mind

Leave a comment

i had just the day i needed.. I had several things burning a whole on my calendar today but i didn’t do them.. i couldn’t do them, actually. I was sick..and really in need of sleep so i took the day off. Might sound crazy to ‘take a day off’ on a weekend.. but that’s how it felt. I did almost nothing And it was good !.

We did get out for a short walk on the ice with diane , jane and the dogs. They both had gotten clipped while I was in Nevada.. the single digit weather called for creative measures. Diane offered up two of her vests.. they looked sweet !

not much else happened until this afternoon when we went over to see our friends Tammy and Gary for pizza. It was so nice hanging out with them..

we had lots to talk about , kids, life, zombies, manure, hearts and minds.. the best advice we all got for the evening came from a wrapper on a piece of chocolate..

nice advice..
