Bleh.  Too ill to work.

Well, at the night job anyway.  No such release for the FINAL ESSAY.

My response to Marie: How nice of (Midsister) to inform me via you that I'm an uncle to yet another child I'll probably never meet. Sorry for the snark, but...

Sorry, man, that blows.  My family pulls some of the same crap, not to quite that extent, but my cousins have kids I don't even know about.  I didn't know one of my aunts passed away until it was mentioned in Dad's obituary.

I deal by knowing that I have some awesome family members who just happen to not share any blood relation with me.

It could also just mean that she's too old for the Punk Show.

Hell, I'm too old for the Punk Show, and I'm the one on stage.

I've actually heard, first hand, on reading the nutritional information on some food packaging "Oh no, I couldn't possibly eat this, it's got calories in."

The young lady in question actually thought calories were some kind of artificial additive that were put into food with a side effect of causing fatness.

What, are you not allowed to visit her?

Yeah, I haven't seen my Nephews in 20 years.

I am, but I have no idea where she lives other than Wilmington, Delaware, and I'm not sure if she even has custody of the first two anymore. This is actually fairly typical of her. She doesn't tell anyone anything until way after it's appropriate, if at all. For example, we have no idea if she's married or not. Apparently she dropped a couple of hints to mom that she was, but has never said one way or the other definitively.


Also, I'm pretty freaking broke most of the time and haven't left New England in 3 years, and that's when my stepfather paid for my airfare to go to Grandma's funeral.

So, I was on Amazon, adding  Kembrew McLeod's book "Pranksters: Making Mischief in the Modern World" to my wish list, and I noticed that the author of the review in Slate wrote a book about Brian Eno for the 33 1/3 series.  So I clicked on it.



If you like music, do nevar go poking around the 33 1/3 series.  You'll end up buying the whole damn thing.

-bought the whole damn thing.

Is she just a flighty freak, or do you try to talk to her and she's evasive?

I'll be honest, I doubt my mom's side of the family knows much of what's going on in my life, because once I had more than one kid flying them to visit people was financially out of the question, and I stopped talking to most of my family because they tend to have poor boundaries... too many opinions and too much drama, and when I did invite them to stay with me they would do shit like move in for three months without so much as offering to help with bills and food.

You guys know more about my life than they do, at this point.

Accidentally the whole thing? Or totally on purpose?

I'm driving up to Seattle tonight for an art show my buddy from back home's putting on. Road dog backed out cause she has to work tomorrow. Drag. I'm heavily weighing weather I want to 6 hour round trip by myself. I should really just damned do it since it's kind of a crime that I've been here for 2 years now and seen Seattle for about 4 hours.

The refractory in the ball mill collapsed today.  No surprise, it was due.  For once, it collapsed on a Friday instead of a Wednesday, so that it will be cool enough to work on next Monday instead of Saturday.

So this is what I have been reduced to.  "Thank God the disaster won't fuck my weekend up."   

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Also, I made myself some breakfast yesterday morning, on account of Jenn having been overnight at my folks' house. 

When they say "No-Stick Pan", this leads me to believe that it means NO STICK PAN.  So I made some scrambled eggs.  I don't really want to get into details, but Jenn is really pissed off about the whole thing.  So now I have to write her some more awful poetry, or I won't get a beating tonight.
