wacky

Last week I did a little work* for Julius Scissor, so today (as payment?) I get to get my hair did.   He said he'd give me a haircut, but I told him I don't feel like I have enough hair for that.  So instead, "a little wacky color".

We'll see**.


* sending introduction emails to Joy Behar, along with pictures of Julius's new sculpture "Clown Penis", which you might have seen at Bambi in the Piazza.  Sorry I don't have any pictures.  It's made out of hair.

** I've been thinking about real blonde anyway.

We had a little birthday dinner for M last night.  No big deal, except for the foods people made, which were a big deal (thanks).













Now, some things about helium:
Hot air balloons Blimps.   Apparently *not* filled with helium.  It went like this:
   "Hey, what was inside the Hindenburg?"
   "Not helium."
   "Right."
No one knew the answer, but I guess nobody cared enough to whip out their fancy phones to look it up.  It's hydrogen, guys (in case it ever comes up in Jeopardy).

Next:  it would take SO MANY balloons to Up a cat.  We kind of gave it a try at the end of the night.

 Finally, a picture of a popped balloon based band that JB and Chelsea started.

So...something I've never done before:  I'm really keeping a plant* alive!  I mean, we have a bunch in our house that are doing surprisingly okay, but I've never really had My Own Responsibility Plant before**.  It's so healthy, unlike my hair, my diet, and several habits.

Here it is, in my room.  My hope is that it'll get as tall as me someday (and be really hard to move, causing me to feel more settled and content in general.  Right?). 

*a money tree, no less!
**I did have one plant, started from an avocado.  Remember?  Didn't do so well.  Started great in South Philly, then we moved to Kensington, and rats.

The best kinds of surprises are unexpected and come all the way from New York State.

 I had been pretty sick for a day or so, and then someone brought a whole bunch of Mighty Taco, straight from Buffalo.  Cured*.

*kind of.  I don't know.

Today I fed a horse a carrot.

 
The whole thing made me a tiny bit nervous - they have giant teeth and might want to bite your hand off.  But they don't actually want to.  And they don't.   So don't worry about it.

Not feeling very writey.

Trip this weekend.  Then some weddings.  Field trips.  I'll work on some stories.

m.i./l.i.

This truck?  Bane of my existence.  It leaks weird garbage onto our street, and makes the neighbors get in weird (but kind of funny) fights.  It's been out in front of our place since we moved in, has flat tires, and a rotating cargo of weird stuff that no one attends to.

Anyone have any suggestions about getting it moved?  I called some PPA number and they were going to "send an agent".  That was months ago.  It's like one of those "move it or lose it" things, but someone obviously wants to lose it, but won't.  Drives me crazy.  
Maybe you want something.  A ladder?  A camping chair?  A ceramic lamp that looks like a seashell?  An undriveable truck from NJ that has sweet flames? It's my understanding that they're yours for the taking.   2700 block of E. Lehigh.  (Please don't replace with your own shitty vehicle.)
