song title: "grindcore lazarus"

amazing

i don't even understand what grindcore means

it's for the best

another one: "lung balcony"

Nice

Sounds like something I'd come up with.

I thought of those 2 grouchy old men on the Muppets who sit and heckle from the balcony

Except they're lungs

oh, and i was thinking of a balcony overlooking lungs...

Like, an audience full of lungs? Hundreds of them?

not necessarily... like you're at a party in an apartment building, and it's hot, so your friend says "let's go out on the balcony"... and you go out there, and the balcony is overlooking a vast sea of wet, spongy tissue- rising and falling, reflecting the setting sun.

Do you stay out there? Or go back inside?

oh yeah. you have a cigarette.

What happens if you ash on a lung?

it inhales you and spits you out, like a baby coughing up an arid desert.

i promise i'll love you forever

so i'm getting on the plane coming back from denver on a business trip, and as we're settling in after boarding, the guy behind me is talking on his cell phone, and i hear him say:

"I haven't had a beer in days. if you're out and about, buy me a 12 pack of bud and put it in the fridge- and i promise i'll love you forever..."

i immediately wrote it on the back of a business card that i picked up at "ted's montana grill" in denver.

album insert?

this should be the album insert for nethers:

obedience to no one, keeps me nimble

wine and warm sun

fri: dinner with the in-laws at a nice brick oven pizza place in florham park. e.w. is amused by the process of pizza-making, and at this place he got a special treat. you're able to watch the pizza making process up close. he was able to stand on a chair and watch closely as the guy flattens the dough, spreads the sauce, etc., etc,
puts it in the brick oven. e.w. loved it. he referred to the brick oven as a "house"... hence, "daddy, pizza man puts it in the house".

sat: running errands, bank, coscto. almost bought a gigantic swing set, but resisted. played outside. had a nice dinner. i had a headache all day though.

sun: gym class with e.w. in the a.m., then brunch with my parents and great grandma & grandpa, back from florida. played outside with e.w. later, build his new little soccer net toy, and took him out to play with it. he learned to kick the ball into the goal... and the net says "GGOOOOOOAAAAALLL"... which he liked. then, bbq'd next door, and e.w. and his little girl friend took turns riding our new battery-powered
ATV. they couldn't get enough of it. afterwards, they played with playdough and a large sheet of bubblewrap while we all drank wine and ate in the warm sun.
