  1. Ignoring people is like paying to see a movie and then not watching the screen.
  2. Counterpoint-- if your ancestors were enslaved on the land, who has a better right to that land than their descendants?
  3. The docs are appalled that 4 blood pressure pills aren't getting the job done, so they've got me paused on Lenvima for few days. Of course Keytruda is still coursing through my veins giving me inhuman strength. BP is down a little already. If it stays lower I am also going to call an audible and skip Amlodipine until my swollen Popeye feet go down again. We have an impromptu meeting at the UAB megaplex Tuesday, this time at the civilized hour of noonish. I will have time to hop on the 15 cent (if you are old) shuttle bus and eat something non-fastfood. Kinda sucks having to call in on what would have been my second day of work, but lucky to know some docs who don't slack off.
  4. Andrew Jackson wasn't lookin for loquacious types like the Sartoris's.
  5. Find the spot where half the people sound like Foghorn Leghorn, and the other half sound like Yosemite Sam. There will I be.
  6. A starfish is not a fish, and gallery work is not work. Austin art gallery? C'mon, I didn't inherit THAT much money... I was in Fairhope but it was the 1980s. You just missed me, sorry. Hippies in Alabama end up living in abandoned farm houses in the Black Belt for 12 cents rent per month. Their number is Legion, and they all earn about 12 cents a month, which will just cover your Hippy Black Belt Farmhouse. I don't get it. ---------- This particular gallery is in the rusty industrial town of Bessemer across from the Bright Star restaurant, whence you can hear the strains of Sinatra wafting on the breeze. Until I crank up the Hot Mix on Pandora to let people know we're open. The Good Art Company, come stalk us on Google street view, ya freaks.
  7. I don't speak no fancy French or nothin but if that means "Ass Whoopin" I'm in.
  8. I think we need to all get together and physically beat the shit out of each other, then, sure, I'll have a beer with you. Sorta kinda like rugby, except chuck out the more complicated rules. You can use a pistol as a club, but no shooting or stabbing.
  9. Cancer-wise we are in a zone of talking about a millimeter's growth or shrinkage of this or that tumor. One day we will call this "The Good Old Days." Lenvima is doing a stress test on my arteries, jacking up blood pressure. They've got me on four blood-control pills and it still sucks. Goes back to near-normal if I skip Lenvima, but that would be to miss the point of the assignment. Luckily my mental comfort zone is when I'm trying to make it to the green fields of England with #3 prop feathered and hydraulics lines shot out. We're fine. OH. And got a job in an art gallery. Part-time gig but a big damn deal as regards being part of society. I have 3 looks I can pull off: 1. Professor 2. Artist 3. Hobo. Usually I'm slothing around the house as #3 but I am mixing the first two for the job. Owner encourages us to work on our art so it's like having a free-rent studio with foot-traffic (next to big locally-famous restaurant) where I'm paid to hang out. Owner knows my medical deal so is like "if it's a bad day or a doctor day, just don't worry about opening up." Doesn't suck.
  10. When we gettin paid.
  11. If she wants to jump over to Alabama in a few years and grab a US Senate seat, she'll have my vote for either one.
  12. Well, I am monarchist, and I say you're king. So git to kingin'.
  13. I mean seriously, harden the fuck up, Surly.
  14. I have art shows coming up. Gonna go paint cartoon Apes waving Trans flags and listen to local right wing talk radio.
  15. It was nice, but I hope the health department cracked down on Chili's if they're birthin babies in there.
  16. That's for General Lee's Birthday.
  17. I am home now after that one breakfast beer. May not drink for the rest of the day because I am not normal.
  18. What if that prayer is answered and Trump's lawyers get smacked down?
  19. Dabo sounds like when he talks, it should come out auto-tuned.
  20. Oh, and on that Chili's thing, I know I'm early, but as a Cavalry Scout I felt that I should go check it out in advance.
  21. Voted about 11:30 in light-blue Birmingham suburb. Clicking along efficiently, I asked the poll workers how busy it was, they showed me the numbers on the machines, about double the usual. No drama, even though I cosplayed wearing my replica Union Army belt buckle. Saw one woman walk out from voting with a smile like she'd sent an abusive ex to prison. Checking Instagram later, my local artsy friends are swarming the polls, some standing in hour-long lines. Maybe all the other people in those lines are Trumpy. Maybe they aren't.
  22. My bougie neighbors probably expect to hear banjos from me.
  23. Well I gotta go slop the animals, get cleaned up, and symbolically crush fascism. Will enjoy voting in the AL 7th District this year against any would-be sneak-in House R. Catch y'all on the flip side.
