today like an opalescent smear
Feb. 22nd, 2006 02:23 pmJust had my stitches taken out and the doctor is pleased with the mobility of my knee. The orthopaedic/fracture clinic at the hosptial, way the hell out in Etobicoke, actually tells you on the appointment sheet that they will "make every effort to see you within TWO HOURS of your appointment time" (caps mine). As it happens, I only waited 75 minutes.
I was reading some Jim Carroll poetry on the way there, stuff that's more than 30 years old and is incredibly invigorating and sharp. I got all kinds of very clear images of St. John for when I get to his part of the story, including Charles, acting as his literary mentor, lifting an eyebrow and saying wickedly, "It would probably be irresponsible of me as an educator and your legal guardian to introduce you to the works Rimbaud at this point. Yes, it would be wrong for me to tell you you'll find a volume in the library downstairs."
I managed to sketch out the next page of my comic and now I will go and get today's installment online. Wait, I'm going to nap first. My elbow fucking hurts. arrgghh.
My thoughts today are with my friend
trapezebear who seems to suffer under some of the same curses I do, though he is facing a more acute work-related crisis than I. I'm glad he has access to a lot of hugs of the digital and corporeal varieties.
Thank you to all my friends for being part of my life.
Man! the dog just farted really foul! Fuck!!"
