What is this "Walking to Places" Stuff?

Yeeeeehaw y'all.

I took Jupiter to the dog park today.   I met this woman who proudly told me her dog was a Hungarian Pumi, flown here from some breeder in Missouri.  I said it was a pretty dog.  She said "Thanks.  I wish I could return the compliment to yours."

So I slapped her.

No, I didn't slap her.  I felt like it, but I didn't.  Vermont must be mellowing me out.  But really - there are a lot of very, very spoiled people here.

I'm not hearing too many good transmissions from Tennessee so far; in fact, the day I moved, shit kind of exploded into a rain of eggs, baloney, and lipsticked scrawling on a windowshield.  The wild part is she shared this with me.  Maybe it was nuts.  Maybe it was juvenile and over the top.  Or maybe - just maybe - the Great Scourge DL Bergmeier deserved it for what he did to that girl - he deserved worse even.  And maybe you just have to kind of stand back and respect a lady who's willing to admit that sometimes the need to mess with a fucker's head outweighs the millstone of humiliation, as a wise man once put it.

Along the same lines, I have been rewatching all seasons of the X-Files from my stash of Chinese bootlegged copies.  It is a very nostalgic thing.

There's a thing going on here called "The Festival of Fools," which apparently includes all kinds of street performers doing all things street performer-y.  Lots of cute girlies walking around in burlesque costumes and other unicorn-ish untouchable sorts.  I've been forced to realize two things about myself:  1) I am too fat to be a circus performer and 2) I am much MUCH too fat to wear American Apparel clothing.  I am okay with both of these things.  I saw a cute drummer for a street band that included onlookers' children banging on upturned buckets.  Mmm cuties.  There are lots of them here.

Yeah, I'm lonely.  But kind of in a good way.  I can't explain it.  But lonely in a good way.  Also, I can't get on a decent sleep schedule.  That ain't good.
