"Today's Goths are oily punks with black hair who worship the devil"

Quote from a documentary I'm watching about post Roman Classical antiquity. The dude is spot on about historic art but in the dark-ages about modern culture. Goths aren't punks...they date punks. Also, all of the above are fond of animal parts and make exceptional jewelry out of metal.

parenting lesson on scrounging.

 my son: "Why you always finding tools where big roads curve?" Me: Because i'm always looking for tools where big roads curve."

I love taking the bus with my son when he gets out of school. We take the long way when we can.

Now I need to find a reason to need an 8mm.

Today is my prostate exam day.

Anyone have any tips? oh that didn't come out right...oo niether did that. Nevermind i shouldn't be asking folks to butt into my medical procedures. Wish i had studied more, i don't always do well in exams.

LOng wait in the appropriatly named "waiting room." All I've had to eat all day was 40 oz, of coffee, and a Moderna Covid booster shot. The wait was so long I evolved into a new creature. 

Also a small tribe formed of the people on my side of the room. We were trading supplies with the tribe that evolved at the other side of the room but sadly tentions are rising. There is discontent between the factions. For our safety we have arranged the seats on our side into a protective circle. I'm keeping watch while others build fortifications filling barf bags with sand from the planter.

 It was quiet...too quiet. I thought hostilities would break out but they called my name. I abandoned my new tribe immediatly leaving them to their fate just as others had done ahead of me. The docs asked me why I waited so long.

 "Didn't you see what time your appointment was, you were way too early Dingo." The wait was so long because i don't read things enough. 

I don't mind because i always have fun. 

Dr. Coldfinger was very kind.

We had the most normal day that we have expierienced in years.

  We had birthday party gigs that highly resemble our past pre-covid life.

The last party was for a family who decided to have the bday at their fave food carts lot.

Made a friend today.

I was looking at the gyro stand the whole time. I didn't notice that the gyro stand guy was watching us intently too. When i had a chance i popped over and asked for a gyro and fries for Olive.

He gave us a free baklava. OMG that baklava was made by hand, so buttery.

When the food was done the portions were immense.

The man had tears in his eyes. That happens sometimes. Usually when someone watches our show in tears it's because of some kind of child related tragedies that we remind them of. We remind them of people who would like our show. This wasn't the case. He said he just got his citensenship. He was formerly Iraqi now he is %100 proud USAan.

His eyes were teary with joy for his life and watching the children of his new country having a spendid time. We gave him our card, maybe we will be rocking gigs there again soon.

I noticed fresh cement outside a high school at 3:29pm. HAHAHA!

That's a rare and delightful state of affairs. Is it possible for several patches of wet cement to remain pristine after being passed by hundreds of kids?

Bell rung, I found my son and by the time i got back to the bus stop this nature documentary happened.

I love the weather this time of year. 

You can walk down the street getting drenched with rain while the streets on either side are having a funshiney day. 

Try not to take it personal.

Saw this in a yard and had to double back for a pic.

So many questions. Was lil squash ostricized and left to the raccoons? Are the two in quarantine protecting lil squash from the Ronas? OK I only had two questions.

 

Our dinners briefly passed one another and were both appauled.

Olive's reminds one of farmers markets, sunshine and self love,

mine looks af af, possibly stolen, weeks ago, from an out of state highway rest-stop.

Both meals came playing to win so I'm gonna let this culture shock pass.

I don't drink anymore but I still like cuisine that goes well with 40 oz malt liquer and police sirens.

My son passive agressivly rebuked my action figures.

He had some Halo figures. When he was at his Moms house i kept one with me to remind me of my dood.

When he returned he told me "That character is of the Covanant, they are the bad guys, religious warriors who got screwed over by their higher power. I went and dug in my stuff returning with two Templars. These guys are the same thing. They didn't fight for kings they worked for the Pope protecting crusaders and murdering infidels. They got screwed by thier church too. They were disbanded for being too rich and powerful" He nodded and went on playing with his stuff. When he split to his room he conspicuously left my contribution on the table.

"Pick up the paw"

 "Pick up the paw" We didn't get Olive's cat a vasectomy appointment in time so she is walking around in heat making a ton of noise. Everytime she does Olive sings at her in the horney 90's phoneline comercial jingle "Pick up the paw, single kitties in your nighborhood want to talk to YOu! Pick up the PAW!"

Olive got me a wedding ring!

 Olive got me a wedding ring! Back in aught 2014 we used my dearly departed Dad's wedding ring to get married. After the ceramony we had to rebury his ring with him so my finger has remained naked ever since. Olive said she wanted to claim her territory since i never wear a ring. I was touched but asked why now. "Shouldn't all our money be going to the kid custody case?" She said it is for our case as well. She wants me to look married when i testify in March. I was still a bit unsure if that was a wise use of our limited funds. That is until she put it in clear perspective. "Remember that burrito you had last week? That cost two bucks more than your wedding ring. Me: "Glorious, thank you for getting remarried to me my Love. Mwah Mwah Mwah!"

Nigerian gizzard stew

Sisters cooking together. We live together but don't always eat together. Our friend brought some Nigerian gizzard stew but I don't know if they call it that in Nigeria. It was made by a Nigerian guy so if he made a pizza I guess it would be a Nigerian pizza...gizzard pizza. I tasted some, tastes like chicken. They made a loaf of meat, a loaf of banana some Nigerian gizzard stew and some Oregonian not gizzard curry. I didn't make anything because i'm in charge of dishwashing and catty internet coments.
