STUDIO DIARY #22 (October 13 - 19, 2000)
Friday 13th
OOohhh....spooky spooky.Friday the 13th!!!!
First things first......remember that Iranian movie I talked about a few months back called "The Colour of Paradise"? Well it just came out this week on video so make sure you rent it.It's a masterpiece.
Finished 'She's come Undone" by Wally Lamb this morning (I loved it) and started on "Innocence" by Jane Mendleson.(You should read her first book "I was Amelia Earhart.It's SO wonderful.)
Man...................what a week it's been.I don't know about you but we've had a particularly shitty one.You know........the kind of week that just won't quit in the "And here's another piece of bad news " stakes.And I'm sorry to keep freaking out on you all about this but I'm totally UPSET by all the fucking weirdness and violence in the world.To me it feels like it's Noah's Ark Time all over again.(FYI: If I was Noah I would pick Warthogs, Jack Russells,my husband and that's about it.)
Anyway...like I said, it's been a horrible week,full of sad news and difficult situations so I have made up my mind to live like a madwoman this weekend for tomorrow we may all explode in a cloud of toxic smoke.
Saturday 14th
Spent the day in bed pretty much.Seems like I don't have the zeal to do anything else lately besides read,sleep,eat and musicmusicmusic.Sometimes I think energy runs out of my pores and only a glut of music or singing is the only source I can rely on to replenish me.Music has become my oxygen in some ways.
Sunday 15th
Day off
Monday 16th
Well true to form I certainly DID go out and THRASH on Saturday Night.Some friends of mine were playing here in town so I began my evening with a trip down to the show before meeting up with some friends down at the Tornado where we guzzled cocktails and I nearly exploded with pent up excitement.Sometimes I get like that when I haven't been out for a while.I just talk nineteen to the dozen and I have a nervous sort of fizzy feeling in my belly which I try to douse in alchohol but instead of quelling the madness I just end up getting totally wrecked!
Anyway I digress.............we finished up our Saturday Night by throwing an afterbar here at our studio until 5 in the morning and boring all our friends with "Our New Record so Far". I was so drunk at this point that I fell all the way down the steps from the upstairs lounge to the bottom office and never even noticed that I had cut my back until the following evening! That's pretty uncool of me I know but there you have it.Once a geek always a geek. Needless to say I spent the entire duration of my Sunday morning throwing up. Silly silly silly.
Tomorrow at 9am I'm going in to have my wisdom teeth removed.I'm absolutely DREADING it and I keep remembering all those horror stories you hear about people undergoing minor surgeries and coming out like vegetables due to a reaction to the anasthetic!!!!! Oh god.......I love life.I don't want to spend the rest of my life on earth drooling out the side of my mouth hooked up to a catheter and a feed drip.
Pray for me my darklings.Pray for me.

WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTION

Donald Dewar: RIP
Well as I'm sure you can imagine....I was OUT OF IT all day yesterday.Spent most of my time drifting in and out of conciousness,sipping chocolate milkshakes and popping painkillers.(Did however manage to catch the final presidential debate on TV last night and was relieved to hear Bush coming across as usual like a complete ignoramous and Gore finally getting into the pedantics of policy making with a modicum of confidence.If ONLY he were a more charismatic,less slimy individual.)
Oh....I forgot to say.........according to my dentist yesterday,the first words out of my mouth upon coming round from the anaesthetic were: "Thanks for not killing me"
He said:"Thanks for not dying on me"
It's one of the most satisfying exchanges I've ever enjoyed in my life.
Thursday 19th
My face has swollen up like a football and I look like a demented chipmunk.I feel absolutely GHASTLY.
Can't do much more than sup soup and watch videos.
Watched "High Fidelity" last night and really enjoyed it.The guy from "Tenacious D" was fucking brilliant.
Finished reading "Innocence" by Jane Mendleson and have finally gotten around to starting "White Teeth" by Zadie Smith.I suppose that's the good thing about being under the weather.......I get around to all those books I've been meaning to read for an absolute lifetime that I am too damned tired to touch by the time I get back from the studio at 3am.
See. It's TRUE. Every cloud DOES have a silver lining.
Yeah.
Right.
