slice 'em up and put em in a pitcher of cosmos, for fuck's sake.

ok, so my knee. here's the story. three weeks ago, while sliding into my seat on the morning train, my knee decided it'd rather go back home. and in turning back for the door (without my knowledge, let alone permission), it tore my meniscus. so a week from thursday, i'm going under the knife to have it fixed. granted, it's a teeny tiny knife, and they'll send me and my cane packing the same day, but still. it's the "s" word. and it's happening in a building that starts with an "h."

it sucks, no doubt about it.

but what's even suckier is that i was supposed to go camping that weekend, so's i could finally meet grace*c* and ~btezra~ and some other fabulous flickrpeeps. mutinous fucking knee!

but then i saw this little lemon hiding in the corner of my email inbox. i'm on the mailing list for the paramount theater in peekskill, this fabulously renovated old movie house just twenty minutes away. and i saw that patty griffin, one of my favorite singer/songwriters, was gonna be in town the day after the surgery. so i've convinced myself, hell, if doctorman says i can put weight on my leg the day of the surgery, i sure as shit can hobble with florian, patrick and my motherfuckin' cane to go see this woman stand on a stage and sing her fucking heart out.

yay me. well, poor me. but yay me, too.

You piss me off, my friend.

Penpals?          I have a book for sale.

"J'étais frappé par la relative timidité d'Edouard qui semblait plus ému que nous d'être là. Il parlait peu d'une voix assez basse, avec un sourire où l'on percevait une profonde nostalgie. Mais il paraissait calme d'une lourde certitude , comme porté par un courant secret dont lui seul aurait détenu la clef.

"Heureusement que Jean nous protège" lança-t-il après que j'eus négocié un virage à peine deviné dans la purée de pois ." (Extrait du livre de Christian Soleil .)

Je remercie vivement Veluandcoco de m'avoir recommandé ce livre . Il ne me quitte pas .

Τόσο η νύχτα, τόσο η βοή στόν άνεμο

Τόσο η στάλα στόν αέρα, τόσο η σιγαλιά

Τριγύρω η θάλασσα η δεσποτική

Καμάρα τ΄ ουρανού με τ΄ άστρα

Τόσο η ελάχιστη σου αναπνοή

Πού πιά δεν έχω τίποτε άλλο

Μές στούς τέσσερις τοίχους, το ταβάνι, το πάτωμα

Νά φωνάζω από σένα καί νά μέ χτυπά η φωνή μου

Νά μυρίζω από σένα καί ν΄ αγριεύουν οί άνθρωποι

Επειδή το αδοκίμαστο καί το απ΄ αλλού φερμένο

Δεν τ΄ αντέχουν οί άνθρωποι κι είναι νωρίς, μ΄ ακούς

Είναι νωρίς ακόμη μές στόν κόσμο αυτόν αγάπη μου

ΝΑ ΜΙΛΩ ΓΙΑ ΣΕΝΑ ΚΑΙ ΓΙΑ ΜΕΝΑ.

PG1:

Chauncey, Dec. 9th, '95

Mrs. Duncan, Dear

Cousin after so long time I will try

to answer your most welcome letter

which found us all well. Was sorry to

hear that you had been so near to the

grave but was glad that you had so re

gained your health as to be able to rite

to me altho I had about given up was

hearing a word from any of my cousins

in the East, Well now what shall I say that

will interest you. I hardly know but

as you are a strainger here (that you always will and I am afraid

I will tel of things in general. This very

nice winder weather now with just snow

a nuf to make good sleighing it came before

Thanksgiving & has ben fine ever since

If you had ben hire we would trealed you

to turkey how much I would like to have [end pg 1]

you & Fay make me a visit, it is very hard

times here Every thing that I have to sell is very

low & things that we have to buy is low also

but how can you buy with out money &

how can you get the money when you can't

sell what you have to sell. I did not know but

Mr. Cleveland would let out some light on

the subject in his message but in sted of lite

he has only let out the Dark, The prices are

as follows: wheat 62 cents corn sells for 15 cts unshelled

oads 20 potatoes 15 to 20 cts if you can find some

one that wants pork from 4 to 4 1/2 veal 5 mutton

3 1/2 to 4 chickens 6 beans 70 to 90 cts hay 14 to 15

but that is very scarce it has ben one of

the dryest seasons that we have had since I

have ben in the State did not have any rain

from the 19 of May until July & that was as

mutch snow as rain with cold weather ground

frose quite hard it almost killed ane grass

where I cut 5 tons of hay last year I only

cut one this year there was a very large

amount of potatoes planted but it was so dry that

they did not all come up. I lost 8 acres that did not come up

but I am glad that they did not for they are so cheap

but after being so dry the first part of the season

rain came in time to give us the largest crop

that Mich ever raised three of my neighbors

have more then 1000 bushels a piece in their cellars now

& know market at all for them. It has not ben

quite as bad with fruit for while we had a very

large crop of peaches they all found a market

at a fair price there was on the market in one

morning 20000 bushels & nearly as many a good

many mornings & all found sale by nine

O-clock or before it is a very nice site to go

on the market at a bout 4 O'clock & see the

fruit & vegitabels of all kinds how I would like

to have Fay & your self go with me just once

We do not raise peaches yet but Expect to before

long as we have 200 trees set & shal set 100 more

in the Spring but we have grapes did not have

mutch of a crop this year on account of the frost

only sold $34 worth last year sold over $70

I have set quite a few trees so I expect to raise

some fruit before long if I live but if not

the trees will be here

I have quite a nice apple orchard of 65 trees they

are large a nuf to bear are just beginning to them

I have a pear orchard of 150 trees 75 of them will

bear in a year or two and the rest later on

I am a going in to plumb raising have 3 trees

that are just beginning to bear then I have

100 that I set last Spring & I shal set 3 or

more in the Spring if I live So I think

that if you should come out in the year

1900 that I can give you all the fruit that

you would want. Now a bout my stock as I

know that you was a farmer daughter we are

milking four cows at presant Sold one because

did not have a plenty of hay shap milk five this

summer have all of there horns cut off I suffer

that you will say how cruel you are will it does

seam so but it is a kindness to the other cows

for she dose not get gorded as she did before

and it makes them so kind & friendly. Earl has

[reversed, at top of page 1]

40 to 100 bushels to the acre it was splendid

Although documenting is pretty much what I do, I rarely documenting myself anyone. While I documented my way through the complete nightmare of 29 months of homelessness, it really wasn't about turning the camera on me, more than it was turning the camera on this horrible situation happening to millions across this country and world.

This time it's the other way around. I will turn the camera on me and do my best to demonstrate how I'm doing, how badly this has derailed me and how completely isolating it is.
