Musings
Well I have the plague, and I wish I didn't.
Sure, if it was good enough for 25 million 14th Century Europeans; it's good enough for me, but still; being plaguey is no way to spend a Wednesday.

Two weeks ago I had the Stuffed Trout at Moonshine, and declared it delicious. Last week Laura Bush had the same thing. I declare her a copy cat.

I am going to a Trading Faces party tomorrow, that involved taking someone elses's make-up looks and trying them on yourself. I am not sure if you BYOBeauty Products, but I hope not. Not only is it unhygienic, I'm not especially eager to swap my complete line of Chanel for a Dr Pepper lipsmacker. Hawks defend their chicks, Bears defend their cubs and I defend my Limited Edition glossimers.

I used to think the song "Green Door" was:
(in chronological order of misconception)

a) really "Green Card"
b) written by Uva as a commentary on immigration to the US
c) was a Flametrick Subs original written for the Green Door in OKC
d) was a Cramps original

I now I know it was a #1 hit in 1956 for Jim Lowe, but still don't know what's behind the Green Door.

Our security guard gave me a set of honeydews. People have been commenting on my "nice melons" all day. People are a "laff riot" just ask them.

I had a dream last night involving a hula hoop, "The Night Owl" (my grandfather's racing yacht), and the regular Beerland gang (Subs and Cheerleaders inclusive...also the Blue Flames and The Silvermen). I believe I was sailing down to Acapulco bay. How strange is that? I think I was making pretty good time, though. Great Wind.

I have this bizarre urge to cook and be domestic. I feel like inflicting domesticity upon Soren, because he's got a house with the best kitchen in the history of best kitchens; but he's probably busy and I saw him on both Friday and Saturday, which is quite enough thank you.

	That particular bit of film was made in 1972, Green Door the song was a hit in 1956...So there was a Green Door before Marilyn Chambers got behind it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I liked that movie, personally. Not much in the way of pornography, but it was funny seeing the numerous parallels to Eyes Wide Shut. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

SOPHIA! I know it's strange that I'm suddenly popping up here commenting considering we haven't e-talked or even blurty-talked in like....a year... BUT things keep coming up that make me think of you so I've decided I will say hello. A) We were learning about a man named Soren Kirkegaard in English as part of our Existentialism unit. I can't help but remember you have a good friend named Soren who you said is one of the foremost existentialist thinkers...but I think this guy was like, early 1900's (may be wrong about that, she never actually gave us a date, but he predates Nietsche...or maybe I'm wrong again...) so I'm not sure. Are they the same guy? WAS the guy I'm referring to named Soren, or did I just see a name on the notes and get them mixed up? Etc etc. B) My good good good friend Sarah who I am in LOVE with is at Ladyfest in Austin right now. I know you live in Austin, and if I recall you're a feminist (one of the cool ones, it's important to note) so I put two and two together and figured you're most likely there. I don't know how big Ladyfest is, and if there's any chance you'll run into her, but if by any chance you see this girl: http://img15.photobucket.com/albums/v45/Nottobetrusted/100_5366.jpg http://img15.photobucket.com/albums/v45/Nottobetrusted/meandchris.jpg http://img15.photobucket.com/albums/v45/Nottobetrusted/8.jpg She'll be with this girl: http://img15.photobucket.com/albums/v45/Nottobetrusted/linz.jpg http://img15.photobucket.com/albums/v45/Nottobetrusted/4.jpg And maybe this one: http://img15.photobucket.com/albums/v45/Nottobetrusted/jiilsm.jpg And they're all really cool and I highly recommend you say hi and tell them you know me because, come on! You're cool, they're cool, it would be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. (I told her the same thing about you, btw.) Anyway, it's good to see you're still posting, and I really hope you feel better soon =-) -Rev Buhagden (Reply to this) (Thread)

Ahhh! One question answered: "so I was surprised when I was roused from a nice post-Keirkegaard afternoon nap by my grandmother" I guess I was totally off about him being early 1900's and predating Nietsche...that's what I get for slacking in my studies. That's absolutely insane, man. Could you tell your friend that I learned about him and I thought his ideas were extremely fascinating and wished to give him my compliments, please? Not that he'll care that some high school kid likes his work, but you know...=-P (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: sophiasomeday 2004-05-31 03:27 (link)

Soren Keirkegaard was the father of Existentialism. Keirkegaard died in 1855, so while I do like older men, I prefer them to actually be alive. Nietzsche was 11 when SK kicked the bucket, and he had been dead 50 years before Sartre, the other big name in Existentialism was born. What do they teach you kids in public schools?! I'll tell my Soren you enjoy his work though, thanks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So my first guess was right. Damn. That would have been so cool. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sophiasomeday 2004-05-31 02:29 (link)
	Quick thinking in re: Soren. Soren is just the name I use for him because he's into Kierkegaard. His Mentor, who has since passed on, was the foremost existentialist thinkers in the world. I don't know where MY Soren ranks in that, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't care much. Good to hear from you. Pay attention to SK! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
