“We’ll have bizarre celebrations”

Yes, the song of the day is Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games by Of Montreal. We had the sublime pleasure of seeing them perform in Chattanooga a few months ago, me, GAC, and MastaG (along with Katybug and my mother …damama, evidently…) and had a damn good time. It was completely the best show ever. Glitter paint on the eyes, wierd things with samurai swords, the music of a band that is in the peak of their career, belting it out. Friggin awesome.

I went to the trouble of finding this, although its on MTV, which sucks, and its a video I haven’t seen, which is never as good as the MP3. Turn the monitor off and enjoy. Pretend that you don’t recognize it from an Outback Steakhouse commercial, because GAC gets REALLY pissed about that. Everybody’s gotta make a buck.

Anyway, I’m working backwards today, for the hell of it.

I’m dancing like a spastic jitterbug, to Of Montreal’s The Sunlandic Twins. I’m sucking it up, and listening to it on CD, because the THRICE DAMNED CATS destroyed the LP while we were at our wedding renewal a few weeks ago, and its too scratched to listen to. Normally, I’d close the blinds at a time like this, but I don’t care

“May we never go go.. mental, may we always stay stay… gentle”

Damn right, Of Montreal. Damn right.

The dancing also convinced me that I can have that beer I was thinking of. Its been water most of the day, because I’ve been feeling a tad dehydrated, and I’m understanding that it wouldn’t do GAC much good for me to get sick now.

For that reason, I woke up from a nap at 3:40, having missed the 3 o’clock show with a great deal of discomfort.

Hmm. Backwards isn’t working too well. Point is I was so… exhausted… coming back from the 1 o’clock show. I had been to the arboreum, as I said, and did find the beauty, but I was too tired to remember what it looked like. I did take pictures, lets see how they turned out.

 





When I returned from my journey in the arboreum, I was tired. I felt good.  I deposited some checks at the bank from friends I never knew I had.  Its hard, to accept gifts from strangers.  If I didn’t do it, it’d be pride, and stupid pride at that, because we’ll need it.  I won’t be able to work full time for a while, because of schedules, and the boys.

People give.  Money has always been a bone of contention for me, and as such I find taking it, unfortunately, too necessary so often, but also so hard to do.  It can break a part of you.

I reckon that part is pride.

The CD is almost done, and on my favorite song.

The chorus is coming up.

But don’t don’t lose hope no no no no
No no no don’t feel sad ’cause it’s a violent world
But there’s still beauty
I’ll take care of you if you take care of me
