Yesterday morning, purpleglitter and I got up early to pick up the two cutest English budgies. The rusty cage they were in sucked and there were two cats there were being allowed batting at their tail feathers, but the had each other and to their former owner's credit, they had insisted they not be separated in their craigslist ad. They are so obviously bonded, they are snuggled up against each other more often then they are not. We are calling them Statler and Waldorf.

Statler and Waldorf home safe and sound, I had to head out to my endocrinology appointment, which went well. It is obvious that my endocrinologist is still not entirely comfortable with me being off psychiatric medication and not in therapy, even though it has been years and I'm doing fine. At least at this point she no longer suggests I go back to either. She did, however, suggest I see my primary care provider. I won't, I don't trust my pcp anymore. However, my endo let slip the name of a primary care doctor popular who is popular with her trannie patients that I'm going to check out switching to.

After they got done taking my blood, I went over to see Ila. She has been teaching me Telugu script, though the words we've been going over have been Sanskrit. This week I need to practice writing conjunct consonants. I think the script is beautiful and am grateful for the opportunity to attempt to learn it. Ila seems to enjoy showing it to me — which is good, otherwise she probably wouldn't.

Yesterday I had a faux shrimp cocktail for breakfast, faux turkey on a focaccini roll with mayo for lunch, and for dinner I had breadsticks covered in mozzarella cheese. For my first healthy snack I had cashews, for my second I had an orange.

I got in plenty of exercise. I took an hour-long cigar walk, then ended up taking a 30 minute walk with Sara as she pushed her new craigslist kickass moped to Alewife. Later I took a short 10 minute walk around Spy Pond with sophiaserpentia. All together, I more than fulfilled my 30 minute exercise quota, but it was such a nice day out yesterday it practically felt like cheating.

purpleglitter found me 120 National Geographic magazines for free on craigslist. Every issue from 1990 to 1999. I'm very excited and endless hours will be spent mulling through them. Getting them home however was a chore. We attempted to go to the house of the person giving them away yesterday before my therapy, but ended up getting lost. We had to give up the search due to time restrictions. purpleglitter email her afterward and she replied that we could pick them up this morning, which we did. 120 National Geographic magazines are very heavy and she had them separated in two halves. 64 National Geographic magazines are still very heavy. I did succeed in lugging them up the stairs to the house_of_clocks. There was a time where the chore would have been a cake walk, but with me being out of shape nowadays it left me breathless. But they're up there, sitting on my coffee table, waiting for me to go through them.

i miss playing with the strobe light
i'm just not alone in the evenings anymore
and those i'm with don't like the strobe
maybe sometime soon i'll set aside an evening to run the strobe, smoke up, and write
set it to alpha
that's what i need to do
i get a nice acid effect that way
and not knowing where to get acid, it's the closest i seem to be able to come
i know
i know
i shouldn't be doing acid, or other hallucinogens
not with my mental health history
i should stay very far away from such things
but i feel a unsurpessable desire to try them
curiosity
curiosity is a dangerous thing
there are things i'm better off not knowing
but i'm still curious
i can't help it
it's in my nature

some asshole is flagging the free pet ads on craigslist
saying that it is unethical to not charge an adoption fee because satan worshipers may adopt the pet
they also stated that if someone who can't afford an adoption fee can't afford vet bills
what they are really arguing is poor people shouldn't have pets
i guess she feels it better for an animal to have no home (and probably end up euthanized) than to go to a poor one
grrrr.... snobbish little nere-do-wells
still living in the mindset that poor=immoral
this is 2004 for luna's sake
why are the conservatives in power
is this the last stand of the right
or are they going to grip the children
that is there hope
that's why school vouchers are so important to them
get the kids going to a school they can really brainwash them in
they know christian brainwashing academies are more likely to turn out dutiful mindless drones than public schools

my stream of consciousness posts can tangent very easily
they are also often self-referential
i guess that's it for now
good bye

I put up a person ad on craigslist. Any suggestions of where else I should put a nsa personal ad? I would be very excited to hear of a site with a "people seeking people" section.
