Monday

Good grief everything has been happening. Last Saturday I broke the Speed Graphic, not a good thing. About 4 weeks ago I had the most unusual juxtaposition. I was in Crosby or Foley or something... note: Paula Gordon, d. 23 January, cancer, my thesis disaster... and I met the vigil for the anniversary of Roe vs Wade. That was spiritual and powerful. The same night the Harlem Gospel Choir was whooping it up in St. Als. Amplified of course. The lead soprano has a very powerful set of lungs, most impressive. I've finally tamed the P & A oil lamp, my pocket watch is repaired ($18) and I got Hugo running finally. One f---ing battery cable! And of course the brakes were out so it took me over a week to get Champ's 1 1/8 socket. 10 minute job. 1 hour job picking up all the sockets I dropped. Lets see what else... Doc Martens are now made in China. Thats just WRONG! I bought a pair of lovely Etnies last Friday. Beautifully comfortable. Spent Friday night at Bill & Erins, was pretty cool. Saturday was at 814 and the Star. 2 beers do me in. Yesterday was lovely, today I think spring blossomed in Spokane, I'm going to miss the snow though. Jesse misses me. Some of my photos are going to be published, I'm excited. Jeremy's driving me insane... but thats another story. I realize I have fraternal love from some of my buddies, but I don't know why I still feel so lonely so often. I'm gonna miss Andrew. Lets see, what else? I'm listening to the delightful pulsating noise of Apoptygma Berserk. Tracked down Alex Durkin the other night, Brian Engel and Julia Harrington are getting married. They will have tall children. I must get to bed so as to fetch glass plates and pocket watches in the morning. Organ lesson too. Oh boy. OH! http://www.cs.qub.ac.uk/~J.Collis/guides/tallis.html November 1999, I was alone in Cushing listening to the Tallis sample when I saw my very first Gonzaga snow. Beautiful moment.
