memorial day

went to hear derek trucks band at the visulite on saturday and was amazed at how good he was. playing with some funk soul bruthas, he was calm, cool & collected & totally in control while doing mind-blowing stuff with his giant monster hands, making the guitar look like a kid's toy.

(found this picture on google images)

next day went to lake norman for lots of holiday cheer and a mini modeling shoot with these friendly folks


also at brunch sunday lisa's silverware was sticking together magnetically for some reason

this is your brain on drugs

happy memorial day everybody!

not longing haiku 77-83

sell it to people
who don't know the meaning of
words you are saying

make them buy two in
case this breaks an extra can't
hurt to have these days

keep them in fear and
you keep the high hand and you
rule all this damned land

doesn't matter your
name you're the one i will blame
when anything breaks

try as you might to
keep it alright the screws will
fall down to the floor

how do you lose a
bunch of trivial pursuit
cards? i don't get it

fat rubbery it
all bounces off but the ones
that cut deep stayed deep

new bedmate

i'm sleeping with a Giant Carolina Wolf Spider. I thought he was a hallucination or a tarantula but my good friend the internet made me doubt it because tarantulas don't usually live near here. last night for the 3rd time (at least) in the past few weeks i've woken up in the middle of the night to see a tarantula somewhere on the bed & i scream & or suck in air & jump out of bed & turn on the light & grab for something flat & heavy to kill him/shield myself & he flashes away somewhere so fast & when i work up courage to follow him where he sprinted to, he's vanished.


the dogs are no help, they don't even seem to notice. he's huge, like 4 inches wide looks like a serious tarantula in the dark. he can live for 3 years. if i die of mysterious causes like a heart attack in my bed sometime soon, this is why.

kittens & bears

i went down to the garage yesterday and there was a cat in there! it ran inside the basement when i opened the garage door & i didn't have time to find it or deal with it right then so i left the garage door open hoping it would find its way out while i was gone.

somebody's been dancing on my windshield

i'd heard noises down there the night before but just kind of ignored them thinking it was people banging around in the garbage cans out front because it was garbage night.

when i got back i heard it meowing from somewhere in the tower of cardboard boxes i have in the basement so i got a broom & got holden & nacho to go down with me to try to sniff the bugger out. they were pretty useless until they heard it meowing & then they went nuts barking and jumping towards it so i had to send them upstairs. it had a collar on saying its name was JIMICA but the phone number listed was out of service.

i called my landlady/neighbor to see if she knew anybody who had a gray & brown kitten with white feet but she didn't. she told me that she just got a call from another neighbor that a BEAR was seen walking down my street the night before. there's a lot of development going on in the area and you're not allowed to shoot bears in the city of asheville so i guess it's kind of a problem with bears coming into neighborhoods and eating dogs that bark and run up to them. so i need to find a way to make holden & nacho afraid of bears.

anyway i took the kitten jimica squirming in my hands door to door through my neighborhood & found his home across the street. the guy who lives there said he'd been missing for a couple days.

greetings from animal planet.
