"nervous excitability"


april 30 thru may 2


NERVOUS EXCITABILITY.

I heard about 500 people hit the site Friday trolling the Laughlin story, (owing to actin de grace Mrs.Brady.) Obviously then - a "drug crazed" wacko from "the party" killed JBR so Patsy can now take a long sitz bath and relax. I hear some net-chat goes thatta way.

"Eprouver la patience de quelqu'un" - why this means - "to try someone's patience." All we know is that the gendarmes BUNGLED, even more than we thought.

FRiday nite's movie was "the Siege." I didn't catch the title of Saturdays movie but was astounded that some mustachioed JACKASS would put his plastic chair RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY CELL DOOR to watch it. (See above French sentence!) BY the way (en passant) les JACKASS happens to have been the dullard that AL was stuck with for a cellie. I will tell you'd vais vous dire) that les jackass compounded things 100 fold by continually guffawing with nervous false laughter.

"To do one's ut most" equals... "faire tout son possible" - and that's what I been doing this weekend on les AL thing. Okay.  So, I've written little note about it and paid to mail them to about a dozen Colorado places such as les HARD ROCK CAFE (denver) .... BARTS CD CELLAR (boulder) .... Synergy (denver) .... the Aggie Theater (ft. collins) ... THE BLUEBIRD THEATER (denver) ..... RODENT RECORDS (arvada) ....Fillmore Auditorium (denver) .... J+B Productions - (Woodland park NR Colo Springs). ect. Information is a whip AND I done cracked it -okay. People want to PUSH negativity AWAY, see but I have to coat it with kooky goo and shove it back. MUST. Jeezy Weezy done said so. It's in my anxious but tired blood.

Baudelaire said America was POE's PRISON. YOu have seen les blueprints to mine, and amongst you in netnutland we now have a DEBBIE from Connecticut. AND when she punches up les blueprints on this site she sees her son's cell which neighbors mine. Her son DAVE is an incredible gossip. He got eine letter from Lil Debbie and folded it to show me one item, "I have seen the website." ect. What static shall spew forth now.

"To wriggle out of a difficulty" in other words is "se trer adroitement d'embarras." But here it's usually WRENCHING not wriggling.

If I could have gum I suppose I'd chow it trying to relate to you that when I was reading (about les civel war) late Saturday night I came to realize that I was MOSTLY remembering ANY late nite nursing home body pick-up call. The hallucinating exhaustion. The smells. The low lighting. The clanging (accidentally) of my gurney against the beds of the barely LIVING in the same room as the deceased. And how many times did I come back in following weeks to the very same ROOMS sometimes only to snap on more gloves.

What would YOU do to get your affairs in order if your end were near? And the same question again if you were only going to be half-dead? I didn't even take a second pair of pants to Cananda. But, the way things turned out, I ended up buying some jeans while there. (Store clerks glad when my nervous carcass left the shop.) I kept on STAYING in Vancouver so I also ended up buying a little radio at a pawn shop down the street from my hotel. The radio sucked. I later wrote "TEMPORARY COBAIN" on that pawnery's doorjamb.

But I left all my belongings behind in San Francisco. My typewriter. The VCR I got after my mother died. Clothes. Whatever. The idea was that I couldn't hold onto it in S.F. anyway. I was looking elswhere. I Also left behind a huge spray painting I did on a piece of plastic. I'd written in green, "I CAN LIVE AS A HEAD ON A TABLE." Writing that AND leving it behind, well, that is part of MY answer to the question of half baked final affairs. Eventually everything drops. Pushed down by swirling clouds of despair that FORCE tense action.
