psycho dog

(student artist's rendition of the carnage)

today my canine roommate* destroyed a sofa cushion. it was fun to see sofa stuffing spread around the livingroom like snow clumps.

equation

i've been sick and spending all day at home.
a musician lives below me.
he spends all day practicing the same guitar riff.
did i mention it's the same riff.
he doesn't always get it right.
guitar murder is illegal here.
:(

first :: stood up

today i was stood up for the first time. ever.
no email.
no text.
no call.
everything worked out since i had a book [amber spyglass]. quite enjoyed the unexpected time to myself.

but since my one friend has now become unreliable, it may be time for a second. i emailed a hammock importer i met at a party my plans for how he can bodyslam an elephant:

auspiciousness

frozen coke

frozen coke reminds me of home. i had a frozen coke [slash frozen yogurt] maker that got a lot of use. it had a santa bear on it [side track].

i also used to frequent >the big boy< a drive-thru-only restaurant, which would serve me a frozen coke, fries and a hamburger flying style [burger prepared in a "sandwich maker" so the edges were sealed--perfect for pilots]

today i saw an ad for f-coke and wanted one so i could be home. sadly, the close mcdonalds didn't sell it, so i had to walk 267 steps to the far mcdonalds.

i made sure to buy the biggest size and walk back to the close mcdonalds so it could see me enjoying my childhood.

having entered the deep dark forest,
i stand at the lake's edge
monster before me.

and i must proceed

is to unravel the whole thing.
