Oh, and it turns the model for the drawings I bought from Aurore was there and she is NOT the girl from the poetry reading (see 10/14). She is instead a hyperactive masseuse in training who nearly killed me in a friuitless attempt to loosen my shoulder tension. I tried to tell her that many have tried, all have failed. I had to ask her to stop when she started beating the heck out my and proceeded to take off her rings in an attempt to REALLY get to work. Yikes...
Rayne was there as well. He kills me. He one of those sit-back-and-watch-roll-your-eyes types that I find tiresome. But he's a nice cat though I don;t know him very well. He was trying to encourage me too do foolish things after I mentioned that I'd had a bit too much to drink (this is relative cos I only had one rum cider that K made in the kitchen and it made me lightheaded immediately, then i broke out in a sweat and had to go outside for a moment).

Halloween at Aurore's last night. Fun. Interesting mix of people that almost didn't quite click but still gave it the ole' college try and made for an nice evening.
I went as the Maryland sniper ("I could be anyone") and Aurore's concept for the party was that we must also bring an art piece. I brought a velvet vest, cut very small, that I made and entitled "The Sniper's Bride". K, Aurore's friend, put it on and it fit it her perfectly! So Aurore is going to give it to her (since the idea was that she would keep the art pieces the guests made). JB Daniel sent her some stamps he made in lieu of an actual appearance. They were neat closeups of a cock and hand, very much in the style of Aurore's photograhic work (repetition, sexual imagery closeups) . Now I want some too! I have no idea how he made the stamps but cool beans all around.
Two guests, who came in at the same time , one dressed as one of the "Elephants of the Apocalypse"(A "Simpsons" reference) and another in a suit, great Richard Nixon mask and walking with a stoop a la Tricky Dick. Their outfits were unrelated, but I felt that the elephant should be put on the model pedestal Aurore has and that Nixon should burn incense and bow down to him while we took pictures. The conceptual nature of this flew right by them and they refused. Hee!
Took forever to get home and today was an utter waste of time. But onwards and upwards!
I did not write this but wanted to include it cos I found it on a discussion board somewhere and think it's hella funny:

boring.Boring.BORING.
went out last night with LaLinda. Hit Gentry and ManHole.
Passed a huge fire in a dumpster walking up to ManHoe (misspelling intentional...)
Had fun. Now the boring sets in.
Gotta get back on track. gotta get a man. gotta get a grip.
Not necessarily in that order.
Geez, it's been 10 days since my last entry and I have nothing to say. Except I've been kicking ass on my midterm reports and expect to crash and burn in precalc.
oh well.
it's only 20 thousand going up in flames nothing important at all.
supposed to go to Aurore's halloween party thurs. should be interesting, though i probably won't see a soul as i'm coming early.
Austin's been a flake lately(and not just with me apparently). I respect that when people are in new relationships they like to spend as much time as possible with their lover, but geez, dude can't give a brother an email? Oh well, maybe this who he was all along. Next.
I'm really thinking about the bartender thing. Every time LaLinda tells me about the money, my mouth waters. We shall see. Cos after all, we are in a sort of recession and everybody and their mother is attempting to get in the all cash businesses. But who knows.
I've got to get a job though. I feel like I'm getting old and running out of time and I refuse to be a crazy old homeless man. I will a crazy old institutionalized-in-a -perfectly-nice-asylum man.
I think I may have a self-imposed sexual dysfunction. And how was your day?
Caetano Veloso's coming to the Chicago Theatre. I don;t think he's ever been here before so I'm really tempted. Bryan Ferry's coming as well, but my bro mentioned that the scuttlebutt the last time he was through was not good, so maybe i won't...i'll see if i can find some reviews of his last tour on the web.
I don't know why i'm contemplating spending more money on ephemeral things...i barely remember the last show i was at(meshell n'degeocello, can't believe i spelled it right on the first try)
Listening to Kylie Minogue-Fever, Carol King-Greatest Hits, Pretenders-Pretenders II (it's a girly faggy kinda evenin')
