STUDIO DIARY #42 (April 6th - April 12th, 2001)
Friday 6th
Here's a good joke someone sent me this morning!!!!
An airplane was just about to crash and passengers were bailing out like crazy until there were only 5 passengers left inside the aircraft but only 4 parachutes on board. The first passenger George W. Bush said "I am President of the United States and I have a great responsibility being the leader of nearly 300 million people and us being a superpower and all.I am also the smartest president that this country has ever seen". So he takes the first parachute and jumps out of the plane. The second passenger said " I'm Antoine Walker, one of the best Basketball players in the NBA and the Boston Celtics need me so I can't afford to die." So he takes the second parachute and leaves the plane.
The third passenger, Hillary Clinton, said "I am the wife of the former President of the United States.I am the senator of New York and I also happen to be one of the smartest woman in the world." So she takes the third parachute and exits the plane.
The fourth passenger,an Old man says to the fifth passenger, a 10 year old boy scout, "I am old and frail and I don't have many years left so as a humane gesture and a good deed I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute". The Boy Scout said, "It's okay, there's a parachute left for you too. The world's smartest president took my backpack."
Saturday 7th
The ice on the lake outside my bedroom window finally split sometime early this morning and a thin ribbon of indigo blue slowly revealed itself underneath, widening and spreading over the course of an hour until the entire lake was shimmering under early morning sunshine. It was really quite a sight to behold as I sat on my couch sipping coffee, listening to Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time.If only every day of my life began in such a poetic and positive fashion.
Sunday 8th
Day off
Monday 9th
Funny day today.I'm all out of sorts with myself and everybody else.I've got this weird burning inside my chest that won't go away and it flares up at the sound of another person's voice.This is very bizarre and extremely unlike myself.See what happens when you make records for a living? You go nuts.
Tuesday 10th
Daniel is back in town to put his bass down on all remaining tracks.It's funny seeing him again.We're all so beaten down at the moment like war weary soldiers and he's like an excited puppy.....all smiles and full of fun.He's arrived just in the nick of time.We definitely need to jive with someone other than ourselves at this juncture.
Delight of the day: We received some very good news indeed from our litigators this afternoon.Round One to Garbage.
Fight the Power.
Wednesday 11th
My trainer whipped me senseless this morning.I was nearly crying and wailing things like: "I'm exhausted. I'm tired.This hurts.I'm not feeling well." And she would simply look straight at me with eyes that were shrunk down to pin pints and say "So what.........So what?" And well HELL.....I couldn't argue with that and it bugged me senseless to be shut down like that with not one iota of sympathy or tenderness.
Ha ha ha..............
Thursday 12th
Oh heaven.......I slept in late this morning and didn't leave my room until noon.I'm still filled with green snot but at least I'm rested. I'm having wild fantasies about running away to Africa for a month. I could wear khakis and track elephants and sleep outside listening to the wind whistle through the leaves as hyenas bay under the stars.Oh it would be bliss.
