BEFORE
dishes and couches, kittens and lizards
11.21.03 4:03 p.m.
I got to one garage sale today and found a whole set of dishes for $5. I think it originally was a set for 8 but there are only 7 bowls and 6 large plates left, there are still 8 smaller sized plates. Good deal though. Kind of a hokey country-ish pattern, but it's not so bad, country blue swirls with country pink flowers. Reminds me of the wallpaper we had in the second mobile home I lived in. Two people called me back about their couches in the the Greensheet. One is $40 and one is $30. I could buy them both... or Eric can get one. He's getting way too comfy on my futon.
Wasabi is positively freaking out over a lizard on the window, it's so damn funny. His tail is wagging, he's making weird bird noises and chattering his teeth like my old kitties used to do. Habi is wondering why Sabi's being weird but he hasn't spotted the lizard yet. The reptile seems to understand that it's safe from the cats. I think it's messing with them. Very cute. Everyone needs two kitties.
Echoset is playing Austin tonight and we might go. I want to go more than Eric does. I want to give them a demo, I want the Satellites to open for them. They have a similar sound, would draw the same audience. They have a good following in Austin, somewhat in Houston. It would be a good idea to get in good with them, and Eric and I kind of already are. Austin would be fun tonight, originally we thought the show was tomorrow. Austin would be more fun tomorrow, as we'd have more time there. I haven't had a good chance to explore Austin only being there once to see Eyes Adrift. But Austin is where the music is, it's where the young people are, and it's where the band should be booking shows.
After I got the plates I drove around for a while trying to find other thrift stores or garage sales. Then I got a thought in my head to get my lip pierced. I've wanted to do this for a while. I got on the road towards "The Curve" (the cool part of town with the tat shops, head shops, porn shops etc) but I changed my mind. I don't know why I gotta spend money once I get it in my pocket. It wasn't just the piercing, I'd have to pay for the jewelry, and then I was thinking of getting a one hitter and dugout for less conspicuous smoking while in vehicles, then we also need a scale, and I might as well grab a pack of whippits while I'm there... and voila, the whole hundred woulda been gone before I knew it. And I need to save that money for furniture. I meet with one of the couch ladies tomorrow at 9am. I still need to call one of them back.
Always remember to quit while you're ahead.

How long could we maintain? I wondered. How long until one of us starts raving and jabbering at this boy? What will he think then? This same lonely desert was the last known home of the Manson family; will he make that grim connection when my attorney starts screaming about bats and huge manta rays coming down on the car? If so, well, we'll just have to cut his head off and bury him somewhere, 'cause it goes without saying that we can't turn him loose. He'd report us at once to some kind of outback Nazi law enforcement agency and they'll run us down like dogs. Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?
