I want to send out birthday wishes to all the people who's birthday it is today - 20,821,918 people! Unfortunately, I can't. I'm sorry.
Yesterday was day 4 of a forbidding frontal brainache. BUT, I was able to write two letters - one to doctor, containing a list of my supplements, and one to woman at DHS, containing copies of store receipts, and my alien Green Card. (The doctor is supposed to contact DHS, towards getting me a little extra SNAP money, for supplements). I was so stupidly honest during the phone interview a week ago: I corrected her that my rent is actually $25/mo less than I previously stated, because I do the snow shovelling. I also got an additional cost stupidly removed on a technicality.
But, as I said before, I totally flirted with her.
Took the thumbdrive to library, where I printed out the letters. Checked out 8 holds there, waiting for me. Mailed letters. Went and bot some wine. Asked the cashier where he was from. he and his half-brother are both from India. I told him I respect India, and his Sikh religion. I added that I also liked the Baha'i faith, and he went blank. Maybe the Sikhs and the Baha'i hate each other.
Watched, "
Head," by the Monkeys. It was an immitation of the Beatles, etc., but still interesting and sometimes funny. Included psychedelic scenes, scenes about Vietnam War of course, scenes about commercialism, etc. Basically, a deranged and incoherent romp through evil Americana. Not only did it include Annette Funicello - it also was the innitial introduction of Terry Garr and Frank Zappa! What was Frank Zappa even doing back in 1968, to get him into a movie?!?! I recommend this ridiculous movie for anyone on mind-altering drugs. Also, anyone interested in the mod/hippie era, circa 1966-1970.
I have yet to check my email to read what my LL has responded - like 5-6 days ago(!)
