This is some saturday here on EA.

I had a dream I pissed the bed.

Can we go out drinking together sometime, please? I usually just come home with DJ flyers and smokey hair.


The papier mache rabbit might be a taxidermy form, which I've been a little obsessed with lately. They are really fucking cool looking--I've been wanting to buy some to hang on my walls. Or sit on my floors.

Look at these.
Life size bears!

You and I have a date to go shopping for this stuff.

I have not succeeded in getting the catalogs sent to me though, which is a bummer because I want to build my own animal.

Perhaps a Jackalope.

Flea Market finds redux:

Someone's last will and testament, written in very amusing language.

two more glass plate negatives, one of a sinister-looking man in a black trenchcoat and trilby hat, taken either early morning or late afternoon judging by his shadow and the other of lower manhattan - a long exposure during which the camera must have shifted, so there's double images of the brooklyn and manhattan bridges.

one photo of a woman standing in front of "reproduction of old spanish kitchen" with "genuine spanish utensils", with "Marie in the garden of the oldest house St. Augustine Fla. March 3, 1940" written on the back.

A Photo of three old men (stereotypical Old Codgers) in overalls, in a card-folder from Elite Studio, Biddeford, Me. On the opposite side of the photo, stuck to the card with four Merry Christmas 1920 Easter Seals (I think that's what they are, gotta check) is a poem:

CAN YOU BEAT IT?
Here we are three blooming kids
At seventy-six and over.
We always made the most of life-
Oft found ourselves in clover.

When adversity, unexpected came.
And we could not prevent it,
Each took his medicine like a man
Although he didn't like it.

What do you know about this
Discouraged one at fifty?
Better go chase yourself,
Become more active and nifty.

If you are dead all over we'll bury yu [sic]
And gladly volunteer
As you are you are a nuisance.
No one wants you here.

I'd say a few words at your funeral
About laziness cut asunder:
"He was, he isn't, he's gone.
"Amen. Chuck him under."

I went shopping for something other than food today for the first time in months.

I bought Oliver Twist, Hamlet, a Sherlock Holmes collection, a dictionary and a Rubik's Cube. And The Outsiders, finally!

I also bought my little brother an Aston Villa wallet as thanks for surprising me with Ricky Gervais tickets. And I bought my mom a butterfly brooch because she likes butterflies for some reason.

Tonight I will play poker for the first time in months and I will win.

Those are really neat. One night a few years back, I came home with a stuffed baby alligator playing maracas and wearing a hat. Ever since, Ive collected a few of these. The newest one is a duck wearing a tophat

Wow, you people are hardcore. Many years ago I used to nick the occasional sign or something but y'all are coming home with dead stuff!

I'm an amateur.

So, when I can I come by and pick up all your records?

I wonder if lurching around like a drunken hunchback and speaking with a lisp will have me seen sooner.

Update: yes. I have also, apparently, been grinding my teeth and lost a filling on a separate tooth. My dentist cracked a tooth of hers during a final exam, as well. We laughed and laughed. Then, the BIG needle. Ow ow ow ow ow.

In other news, I've been writing about disparities in amputations for a week. Ew.
