Relaxing on the Axis

What??

I think every May 19th for the past ten years has been one of the most frustrating and saddest days of the year. This year was no different. The days leading up to it were great though.

After Birthday

I woke up still crying after having a dream about being curled up in the fetal position and crying while two unrecognizable women talked candidly about me. I don’t remember my actual birthday, but I bet similar things happened then.

Apology

Sorry for dragging you guys out onto the fire escape when Nora obviously wanted to go to bed. Also for talking to you about ethanol. I honestly don’t know anything about it, it’s just fun to pretend! Also, sorry for playing music so loudly so early in the morning. (also, take out the garbage please.)

All the things...

Sometimes when I’m down I try to remember to be happy about the stuff that is easy to take for granted. Today the 59th street station didn’t smell like rotten piss, and that put a smile on my face. Also, the bathtub guy finally came and unclogged the bathtub. I haven’t felt so clean after taking a shower in two months. Now Jesse can pee in the tub too, and it won’t be that disgusting. He claims he doesn’t pee in the tub however. What other little things… Oh yeah, little packets of rice. I just cut me up some vegetables and throw some spices and ground beef in there, and twenty minutes later I have food. I actually cook sometimes too, ask me about the paella for twelve. But that is definitely not a little thing, especially because it comes with a fire in the oven. Oh, another little thing: Teddy tells me (every time I see him) that when he hears me practicing he is reminded of growing up in the Bronx during the great depression and hearing saxophonists practice in the airshaft/courtyard of his building, and then seeing people on the upper floors throw down nickles wrapped in newspaper.

Word of the day plus

Confabulate. This weekend was interesting. On Sunday night T-bone, Julian, and I saw Professor Dave play with Marty Ehrlich at the Standard. Ehrlich has one of the best clarinet and bass clarinet sounds I’ve heard in a while, and Prof. Dave was killing as usual. Immediately after that I went to V——-, where Ariel works and gives her friends free drinks. Bombay, not even rail! I hung out with Fuller, who taught me a bunch of jokes that I forget now, and also wrote Ariel a dirty poem on the back of an envelope that had previously enveloped a card my mom sent me. When I first offered him paper he refused, but when he found out it was the back of a used envelope he accepted because that fits his artistic vision. Then I got a text from Sarah at about 1:30 in the morning and I hung out with her in Burg. She got really mad at me for calling her a republican even though I meant it in some kind of pejorative sense, but not the political one. Whatevr did. Toy with me and you can expect to git toyed with. It was ok after a while though. I only got an hour.5 of sleep sunday night, but I still managed to be productive on monday. I made my mom a birthday card, which I guess I will post here because I like it.
