Fuckin Hippies

Hippy kids have lots of ideas. The one that keeps them alive is the only good one.
Wednesday: Billy,(martin's roommate from Lakeview) has recently moved to chicago. After collecting tons of abandoned and cheap bicycles from around the city and selling them for a total profit of $3000, has finally decided to get a job at wholefoods and aparantly wholefoods is the holy fucking grail. Wholefoods has given Billy (who is already an irrational idealist) a very skewed view of Corporate America, the american spirit, and human nature. After 2 days of listening to how our country is not going to succumb to the total capitalist takeover, I was ready for him to leave Friday morning - at 6 am. Billy did suggest that MK and i start a band; This is a good idea.

Friday night: Jasper (lives in Houma, father recently died and left him money, took a summer-long trip to Washington, Utah, Indiana, Montana - where he worked in a tortilla factory)picks Cody (moved to Austin after Katrina, has no job, obsessed with "recording" and the like, made Jasper spend most of father's money on video equipment) up from the airport. At 11:45 they're waking MK and me up from a nap; fortunately, they bring chicken wings, 2 cases of beer and green stuff. We hang out, Cody goes on about his x-girlfriend and his bartender friend who works at Hustler's Barely Legal (where the girls are only bottomless in the $400 back room). We talked about rock shows, Austin vs New Orleans, cops, cats, movies, pot, girls, etc. We explored the Gambit and the Antigravity and discussed how there was nothing to do on a friday night cos all the good shows are during the week. I did a nerdy crossword puzzle in The Leading Edge. At around 3 am MK and i resumed our nap and Jasper and Cody napped on the sofas until 6am when the bartender called and picked Cody up from our house.

Saturday: I was determined to get a cat. Jasper, MK, and I drove to Elmwood PetSmart and Jefferson Feed, when Martin finally decided to tell me that he can only have a pure-bred Siamese cat. Shit. We went to Academy sports and bought a pull-up bar and a yoga mat. I got a hot suede mini-skirt at Red, White and Blue and some black leather gloves at Jefferson Salvage. Then we ate pizza, baskin robbins, got high, and Jasper napped on couch while me and MK hung out in bed. At around 8 or so Cody shows back up (driving bartender's car) along with Carl & Annie (hippy kids who, 3 months ago, said they were going to utah in their bio-diesl school bus and trailer to build an adobe house). We play card games with hardcore porno cards and learn that Carl & Annie got 2 wolf pups, almost got arrested for traveling with a small amount of pot and two loaded fire arms in a bus with no license plate, learned to blow glass, got in fights with locals in Utah, never converted the bus to bio-diesl, ran out of money, and are now living in a camp-ground in Lafayette. They bought a small furnace or kiln or whatthefuckever and glass-blowing instruments and plan to make sex-toys and dildos of all shapes, sizes, colors and textures; this is a good idea.
After Carl & Annie left, Cody started going off on how great Austin is and how he knows everything about everything, Roxy and Jasper went into the livingroom and played instruments we know nothing about, and MK got pissed and argued with Cody til about 1 am. Then, Jasper and Cody went to Hustler and MK and i went to bed.

Sunday: morning, MK and I wake up early, get it, gather laundry, and head to his parents' house on the West Bank where it is raining pretty badly. We wash clothes and argue about cats and money, MK eats bland meatloaf (i know better) and we ride home with 1 coffee maker, 1 george foreman grill, and 3 bags of groceries more than we had arrived with. Jasper is just waking up when we get home at 2 and explains how Cody told some nasty, skinny, old stripper that Jasper asked for and would pay for a lap dance from her and she tricks Jasper into thinking Cody paid for it until she dances and then asks for money. Jasper was pissed. We got high, he left, MK and me cleaned up, made out, got it, and I exercised while he did work.
