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.

Holy Willie's Prayer (pages 21-25 of the The Glenriddel Manuscripts, which contain a selection of Burn’s poems and letters, compiled in two volumes, for presentation to Burns's friend, Robert Riddell of Glenriddell (1755-1794), during the years 1791 to 1793.) The first volume, contains copies of poems both in Burns's hand and in that of a scribe. It contains over 50 poems, most famously a full version of Holy Willie's Prayer. This is the most devastating and amusing of Burns's diatribes against the apparent hypocrisy of certain sections of his native Church. It is directed against William Fisher, a farmer in Montgarswood and an elder of Mauchline Kirk. Burns uses this hypocrite - who had initiated disciplinary action against the poet's friend, Gavin Hamilton, for failing to attend the Kirk regularly - to savage the orthodox Calvinist doctrine of double predestination. The satire was so severe that it circulated in handwritten form for some three years before its publication as part of a pamphlet. Written in August 1785, this is one of the poet's earliest satirical works on orthodox Calvinism and is the only version of the poem in Burns's hand.

Original Caption: From 1923 to 1970, some form of the Equal Rights Amendment was introduced in every session of Congress but was generally held up in committee and so never put to a vote. Representative Martha Griffiths's petition forced the legislation out of committee so that it could be considered by the House, which passed it. The Senate subsequently attempted to add provisions exempting women from the draft, effectively preventing the bill from passing Congress that session.
