banana phone

happy friday.
today hasn't been terrible. the weather has been grey but enjoyable. the conversations have been light and not too demanding. the art has been handed in, although one seems to be lost. cigarettes are plentiful and minty for a change. and a joint has been half-smoked, with the other half waiting for my attention.
sounds like good gravy news to me.
yesterday i felt the world collapse a little around me. it was a little too heavy for my liking. i felt the pressure of [an extended] deadline approaching. every small thing that could have went wrong, did. thank the lordy that any large things that could have went wrong, didnt. i was incredibly sick last night, hopefully the finale to the sickness that has slowly been building up the past few days. and what finale! i havent been that sick in years. neither has lauren.
so today we are kicking back and taking it easy and letting our poor bodies recover a little, before hitting up the edge gallery tonight for the 12inch show.
i lost my record i had cut/melted into the shape of a gear.. and cant seem to find it. so i had no chance of submitting that one. altho i did happen to give in four that i am ultimately pleased with.

my family thinks (from what my sister tells me) that i dont go out to the cabin cuz I am afraid that I think they dont approve of me and lauren.
they couldnt be more off-target. i dont care what they think, and would bring her regardless if they approved or not. that has never crossed my thoughts. it seems to me, and always has, that they are fine with me and her together. when i dont go out to the cabin, its not because of that. it is because i am 23 and busy and have a lot of stuff to do.
to be honest, if they mentioned how much they'd like me there a certain weekend, then I WOULD go. i like it out there.its all quiet. and my phone doesnt ring. what a nice change.
