i got a note from the doctor:

mr. ziehe is on a medication that temporarily affect his thinking. (illegible text) he get used to it this side effect will go away.

beautiful.

i've been sick for two days--i blame it on the steak that i ate sunday night, or janette got me sick.

the greatest thing on earth are the $1 dvds at the grocery store. i'm currently watching
blood of the ninja, aka

it's pretty amusing.

today, once i felt like getting out of bed and quit the turd-o-rama, i looked into getting this antique camera working. it appears that the motherfucker is calibrated for silver batteries! such great news! i was toying with the idea of getting a digital camera for my upcoming travels.

the travels are an off-road excursion from el paso to san antonio. the best part of the deal is that it's one of my all-expenses paid trips. whoo hoo! i get to visit my favorite places from early early childhood and get paid to do so. since i'll only be using the railroad right of way, i've rented a suv for this excursion. i'm actually really looking forward to this. i have to track ms. clayton down to visit her, and see the grandparents.

i have procurred a super-cool waterproof canvas hat (think super vietnam hat) for my fieldwork, so that my neck doesn't get so red anymore.

the beard is progressing nicely--should be a sufficient disguise for the del rio excursion.

i recorded some organ music today that i want to put to rest, but got the phrasing all fucked up. maybe tomorrow...
