Worktown, zinetown, raintown
So it was a busy moring.
Went to work, and talked to my mom, who is coming in for the BIG printmaking conference. I need to figure out how this is going to work out... it's a 5 day conference... like.. Wed-Sun... How am i going to make any money? How am I going to get anything done? How am I GOING TO GET ANWHERE? (It's all over the city -- I want a frigging centralized printmaking conference Is it too much to ask?) But anyway... Mom is coming over... so I need to clean the house in more ways than 4. --Oops that's not my "Penthouse!"-- she knows all about it... but she's not so much into the knowing and seeing of it all.
But I went out to Beantown Zinetown... and did the support your local zinester thing, which was wicked exciting...and I got some of the cutest little things ever (A minimal/ animal? complete with story and mini CD, and a green sock monkey), and saw some fabulous folks whom I hadn't seen at all... And I got some really good little booklets... though I managed to buy less of the more expensive ones, and less of the ittie bitties.
But I got some stellar titles: "The FBI's Most wanted Fugitives "with party hats", "Dork Livestyle", "Your dick's too short to F**K with God"(modeled after a "chick" Comic book. "The Oragami Pet" A partch about Emma Goldman, and one that says "Who would Jesus Bomb? and a sticker that says "What Would Joan Jett Do?" Some Od Mistress Nette's "Get off your Ass" Soap" some stuff from the Guerrilla Poets. ( I asked him to read a poem to me, and he did, and I liked that... since I don't really read poetry, and I really like things read to me) " Sturm and Drank Sit at home and Debate God While having Cake" Sme Pink Marguerita lip gloss....mmmmm...
A copy of "Transexual Fury" Ad I'm gonna get a Rubber Spikey Belt made for me. I got A veggie/vegan cookbook ( though i rarely cook things without meat and cheese... maybe i need to move closer to a groc. store.) I got : "Dear Gwen" and some old scool political buttons, including one from my current place of employment. (I don't think the button guy wn the election.) I bought a zine strictly for the title, "The Unsexiness of Waiting" (which let me tell you, after all the personal ads I've put up... I know all about how waiting is totally unsexy...
So Speaking of adverts... i put one up, for seeing a guy... like a guy guy... I've decided i'm sick of girlie bullshit, and playing the kevin bacon game with my love life. I just can't do it. And there is something about living in a sex positive culture that there goes alot of times where you seriously miss the non-physical intimacy... yeh yeah, everyone can fuck... for the love-of-christ that's what our bodies were built for... but good golly... what is it if it isn't for genuine care and interest and attentiveness to the feelings of other... maybe I'm cracking out my "motherly aspect" (and no, not literally) but I want to *care* for someone... who cares back... Maybe it's that old cheap trick song, (again and again-catchy lil' bugger ain't it) but that's the game i want to play... becasue right now, It's like I've been playing Super Mario Brothers, and I've beaten the game 300 times, and I could play that game in my sleep... and you know.. that them song is so damn catchy, and well, shit.... You know you need Supermario 2, but or once, for a while, you are really good at something. (even though that something isn't so good)
It's 11pm why do I think I'm not getting to the Studio....It's fucking raining... that's why. Fuck.
