Hi. This is Jennifer. I am here to tell you that God does have gas, and he frequents AA meetings.

wisdom from the dumpster: You cannot serve God and Mammon. To use a modern paraphrase, you cannot go to church on sunday and bayonet practice on monday. I know no blasphemy so vile as that of the various churches which, during war, contend that the Almighty is on their side. God cannot believe that both sides are right. God cannot be Love, and at the same time be the patron of a gas attack. - a.s. neill from "summerhill: a radical approach to child rearing"
 
Ya, I'm outta here in 13 minutes. Late.
 
I don't see anyone by that name logged in. You must be batty.
 
I hope you're not talking to me.
 
I may be stupid but I'm smart enough to know that you're a bit wonky.
 
What is that supposed to mean? I hate it when I'm insulted and don't know what it means.
 
Who needs Taco Hell when they have cabbage? And yes, you've stumbled accross a trade secret: drug users pay in coin. That must be why they call it a dime bag. That's how you can tell a drug user: they jingle when they walk. If they're not high. If they're high their pockets are silent. Hmmm . . . makes you wonder about some of those silent-pocketed people, eh?
 
Peter Gibbons: I don't like my job and I don't think I'll go anymore. Joanna: You're just not gonna go? Peter Gibbons: Yeah. Joanna: Won't you get fired? Peter Gibbons: I don't know. But I really don't like it and, uh, I'm not gonna go. Joanna: So you're gonna quit? Peter Gibbons: Uh-uh. Not really. I'm just gonna stop going. Joanna: When did you decide all that? Peter Gibbons: About an hour ago. Joanna: So you're going to get another job? Peter Gibbons: I don't think I'll like another job. Joanna: Well what are you going to do about money? Bills? Peter Gibbons: You know I never really liked paying bills, I don't think I'm going to do that either.
 
My rant would froth over today were it not for the corporate sedative I'm under the influence of for 7 hours a day. I've found that the C.S. helps keep me from saying #*&! off to every idiot that opens his mouth--and there are many of them. My day is punctuated by watching stuffed frogs spank stuffed rabbits. Animated graphics and bad jokes with <<< in front of every line are my salvation.
 
dolly and i went to see harry potter last night, and it was very convincing. i have since renounced my religion that used to revolve around a rock in the back yard, and have gone the way of the witch. oh, pastor hagee must be right, dragging all the children into the depths of the occult and witchcraft. surely they will all eat bertie botts and worship the devil. of course they will taunt him and pelt him with the ones flavored like vomit and earwax. oh, give me that old time religion! ouch, dolly is off key today. no matter. time to go visit the post office and be creeped out by the blind guy selling brooms out front. i wonder if that radio around his neck is blaring AM1500 that continually plays through my phone. maybe i'll ask. oh wait! i can just listen to see if every sentence ends in beloved, hallelujah, or amen.

well, i've stopped the narvasc. just not worth the side effects and it was raising me blood pressure. yesterday and today i've opted for 1 1/2 toporal, equalling 150mg. my pressure is now 125/80. much better. beginning to think the dr. is a quack. i'll have to call their office later and tell them what i'm up to. that should be good. still waiting to hear about a job. if you're in indy and have an opening (for a job that is) send word to dolly@digitalscream.org. she's just a plastic doll's head but she makes a hell of a cup of coffee. well you are just a doll's head... dolly? where are you going? dolly??!!

oh joy! it's new year's eve. no backpacks or bags allowed in times square. air quality and radiation monitors in place. people in india with nuclear weapons. transported by what? camels, pack mules? went to do a dumpster run last night with a friend (see matt, i didn't even use your name) he's semi-destitute with an amazing collection of couches and misc other furniture. anyway, i took him some fried potatos i had made with fresh garlic and spices. this he reciprocated with a bag of bertie botts - some kind of confection based on harry potter. they looked much like jelly beans and i read carefully over the ingredients, horseradish root being the most interesting. upon eating the first one he (the friend) laughed with sadistic glee over the fact that i had chosen the dirt flavored one. yes, dirt is actually the name of the flavor. among the other flavors there is also booger. the dumpster run was most fruitful, albeit one of the coldest we have ever done. found 2 movies i was looking for last night. crash and under the rainbow. my roomate was beset upon by another movie i was on a quest to find. he was at the local sam's club when his cart snagged on something in the aisle. sure enough it was a dvd of innocent blood for $6. watched crash last night. it was the rated version and was not twisted enough for my taste. i'm sure something interesting will happen later tonight and i'll write about it then. feel free to hold your breath....

this is day 2 on my new blood pressure pill. it's called NASCAR, kidding. it's actually called NARVASC, it's a calcium channel blocker. The dosage can range from 2.5mg to 10mg. Thus far it's been kicking mein arse. Seemed ok for the 1st few hours, then about 7 hrs later i had a wave of drowsiness to stun an ox. Felt like i'd been up for 5 days. Not a drop ossifer, i swear. Many diet cokes later i was better. Was on IRC till 1am, then watched Innocent Blood. Funny Vampyre story with cameos from several Italian horror directors. Then tried to sleep around 3. No luck, the trash bag in my closet was making too much noise. Had to get up and take that out. It was about 10 degrees out. Hopped back onto Irc scaring some of the regulars that never hear from me at that hour. Popped a valium and finally got to bed around 4. Today is better so far, though i'm sure that hammer of drowsiness is only moments away. Did i mention that it really hasn't improved my blood pressure? Common side effects of this pill are : headache, flushing of face and neck, water retention and weight gain. says causes decreased urination, but i'm still a friggin' seive.
