PLAYING WITH FIRE

"An alcoholic is someone you don't like who drinks as much as you do." DYLAN THOMAS

aloha,
PAGANI U R A SWEETIE!

woke up this morning with A B RAND NEW PAIN RADIATING FROM MY RIGHT HIP.how odd since all i did over the weekend was listen to a talking book and watch TV.today i got up, almost fell, then did my ayem routines before calling a medical foundation to dispute a $1404 bill, which i don't have, over an endoscopy last year which they deemed 'medically unnecessary'...if TWO DIFFERENT DOCTORS SIGN OFF ON IT, HOW IS IT UNNECESSARY plus i explained to the nice lady who answered this endocopy had opened a whole Pandora"s Box full of medical issues huge sigh.

blog title
the book i listened was PLAYING WITH FIRE ( A KATIE SHUGAT MYSTERY) by DANA STABENOW it's about the murder of a naked man investiagated by a female Native American ( Aleut i think). I LIKED THIS BOOK altho it's a lil dry and gave me TMI about some aspects of living in alaska.
one of the characters i liked was BOBBY CLARK a black male horny double amputee involved with a skinny blonde. like the protagonist Bobby is drawn as imperfect and three dimensional.one of the legs of the plot was mushrooming hunting which is also a BFD in mendo county so i could vouch for the accuracy of most of those descriptions. some things were wrong, FEMALE DOGS -EVEN WOLF HYBRIDS- DO NOT LIFT THEIR LEGS TO PEE...even i know this, being a cat person. am i wrong on this? it just bugged me is all...

meanwhile our physical therapist has recovered from pneumonia, a lot going around the county this season which is why even tho i eschew the flu vaccine i always get the pneumonia needle, and we have appointments for this afternoon.

PLAYING WITH FIRE

"Expectations breed disappointment." Ray on NPR's CarTalk

aloha again, spoke too soon about the Lockheed Fire.since it spread yesterday my eyes are watering, my nose and sinus cavity are severely congested, fine ash smears the car and i feel like crap.i am about forty miles south of the conflagration as the wind blows (sic).

BEACH BLANKET BELLYDANCE
a friend of ours danced at a local bellydance fest last night ,heavy on the Beach Boys and modern dance. i must confess to never having seen anything like it. if it weren't for the fire and strong perfume permeating the venue i might have enjoyed it more. odd that the overweight women turned out to be the best and most sprightly dancers,Soul Mate agreed altho she liked the 'fairy' in the aqua outfit and wings.they do several shows like this every years, check out anything with Cece involved okay?

PAGANI ECONOMY
you Madame are a COLLAPSATARIAN (sic) a wise friend of ours ( thanx Howard) send us a article describing people who want the current plutocracy/kleptocracy to fail so that something sane and fair can be built among the ruins FINALLY! bailing out AIG & WALL STREET is just putting more lipstick on a dead pig, the rich get richer and the poor get screwed AGAIN.
business as usual is what got us into this mess, FREE TRADE AIN'T FREE!

watching Obama trying to convince the shredded middle and working class that his watered down bipartisan efforts are GOOD and that astroturfing Howling Mobs corporations are NOT THEIR FRIENDS...SIGH.
BTW I TOTALLY TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU, whatcha gonna do when the job wells run dry? SOCIALISM, OR BARBARISM, OUR CHOICE??? check out our European allies and dystopian sci fi for the answers.more SOYLENT GREEN anyone?
www.CNN.COM reluctantly i must commend CNN for doing an admirable job yesterday answering healthcare related questions for a full hour without the usual hype and flummery then just to poison the well after Obama's Colorado stump speech they had the usual astroturfing lobbyists and obstructionists pontificating.check out www.factcheck.org for a more clearheaded and not ratings 'controversy' inspired coverage.i think of the whole Climate Change BS which Fox and others still declare as CONTROVERISAL despite overwhelmong evidence to the contrary.HMMMMM, SOYLENT GREEN IS LOOKING BETTER & BETTER...BTW our senior Fox addicted friends here blame ENVIRONMENTALISTS for all the KALIpornia fires SIGH. apparently an enduring drought and bone deep budget cuts to everything have nothing to do with it. goddamn treehugging dirty hippies still screwing up the planet again.

speaking of dirty hippies,
40th ANNIVERSARY OF WOODSTOCK. does anyone see more than just another marketing ploy involved here? i mean the anniversary of Hiroshima/Nagasaki did not inspire CDs and tee shirt sales nor did the Manson Murders (who in the newsrooms is keeping track of that crap???)
i confess, neither Woodstock, Altamont (which i attended) not 9-11 changed my life nor inspired a jingoistic fetishism in my parched sanity addicted soul.

in other news, speaking of sanity. heard a rational approach to healing vs.traditional allopathic medicine on the radio yesterday (KUSP FM) with Dr.Bernie Siegel who actually advocates LISTENING TO PATIENTS. WOW, WHATTA CONCEPT!!!!! www.berniesiegelmd.com check it out.

a ghost, a werewolf and a vampire decide to become roommates in England... sounds like the being of a truly paranormal & porngraphic joke or limerick doesn't it? actually it's a new BBC TV series, check out TRUE BLOOD instead,if you have HBO or rent the DVD, i also liked TORCHWOOD better than this thin gruel.aloha y'all.
