March 18, 1999: Day...[counting on fingers]...six of my insomnia escapade.
Well.
After having smashed
my head against a wall with nigh-concussive force and spending the rest
of the night staring at clocks and walls and listening to one bitch of
a rainstorm, I've had plenty of time to think and churn out some thoughts.
MEN:
"Can't live with
'em. But vibrators don't cuddle."
"I like my men like
I like my coffee: strong, hairy, and four days old.....wait...that's not
right....nevermind."
AIR:
"It's really hard
to see, so you've got to watch you don't bang your head on it."
"It does a body
good."
"It helps make bodies
rot."
"A good spreading
medium for biological warfare."
REPRODUCTION:
"Children should
be abolished...we should embrace cloning...just think...no babysitters,
no diapers, no Baby GAP*...."
"A great way to
spend a rainy afternoon."
"A great way to
spend a sunny afternoon."
"A great way to
spend time."
PAIN:
"It's not conducive
to a sense of well-being...I really suggest you avoid it."
"Blue pills for
the voices, Red pills for the pain. Blue and Red make Purple. Purple equals
sane."
[thank you Jason!]
"A great thing to
learn from...especially from an observational point of view."
"It makes you laugh,
it makes you cry. It makes you take pills...and pills are good for you."
OATMEAL:
"For those mornings
when you wake up and say to yourself: 'I would love a bowl of soggy, warm,
tastless oat-mush to which I can add enough sugar to make a small animal's
eyes explode and still not taste any difference'."
"Microwave on HIGH
for thirty minutes. Remove from bowl. Repeat 9 000 times. Use for skeet-shooting,
hockey pucks, or weapons of torture."
"Pig-food in Russia."
