So I have been a bit under the weather this past week...
I fear I treated a few patients poorly during my sickness
I fear I gave a gift that is unintentional to a few of my patients
in deepest recesses I worry tremendously about two small children of one of my patients....
his name RK-Pleasure at least that is what it sounded like.
Him and his brother came in but with all sorts of pock marks on thier faces like hey look at us happy children with the pox...
Oddly enough that night was the night I first felt being sick.
But tis just a summer cold...of course it's kinda always summer here.
Purposely leaving out the bender of a weekend I had involving copious amounts of evil malted barley and other elixirs of joy..or the fact I celebrated with a few friends namely Patron and his twin brother Patron after the Celtics blew the shit out of the lakers in game six to earn a much deserved number 17 from the rafters.
yes I did jump on the celtics bandwagon, but at least I did it after game one of the season and not game one of the finals.
anyways, some often used Riccola cough drops some day quil, lots of blowing and coughing of expactorent I made it through the few long days.
NO shark cage for me....
I have been a bit of a couch potato for the last two days, feeling better but I have no vehicle for the moment.
Yeah great morning on friday, pouring rain, a fair bit of the sniffles and then my scooter up and leaves me- right from underneath me she just stopped her moaning she stopped buzzing like an angry bee...and that moment of engine click and cough- perhaps I had given my cold to my scooter....but it died, I figure since I just checked the oil and it needed like a full quart and then some that I may have been a bit negligent and partially if not fully to blame for her demise....
I left her standing there on what is known as North School street in a section near my home known as Kalihi..pronounced KAH LEE HE....sort of the ghetto where lots of locals and low income special project type housing exist.....I wondered if i should see her again.
Well to my delight after a nice refreshing change that was the Honolulu public transit system known as The Bus, I found my little friend still intact standing on the corner where I left her....there was no passionate embrace no fond touching- she failed to start...figured so.
Well a friend showed up to rescue me- lets just call him the Tank. an eastern Cat, kinda crazy a friend that is both good and bad to have if you know what I mean.
We managed to throw ol betsy in the trunk of his dodge intrepid and smell the gas from the leaking corpse of my former ride as we strolled up Alewa Hts and headed to Makanani to drop it off.
I enjoyed friday and saturday as My roomates are now both on the mainland...giving me a little TV time and some Movie time and some Nintendo Wii time.....Tennis and Boxing have made me feel I have at least done something today.
Waited for the Scooter repair guys to show, like I was waiting for the cable repair man....watched my scooter get taken away on the back of a pickup as she screamed for me to no let her die....
Don't know when I'll get her back, don't know how much it will cost, but ah such is life sometimes...i figure as long as it's under like 250-300 then it is ok.
I'm stranded sort of.... and I kinda liked it...of course until I became obsessed with the square box and lost my mind to it for a little while...so now I'm like chilling out to loud music a mix of cold play and portishead to assist the creative juices.
Doing some laundry, cooking, and cleaning, and running the dishwasher.
Oh... the most important chore I accomplished was the delightful experience of watering and talking to the plants in the yard....
the yield today.
8 tangerines.... 4 for breakfast and 4 sit in front of me
3 bright red tomatoes....for pizza perhaps?
a nice handful of Cilantro
a few sprigs of Mint
a nice helping of fresh pungent Basil
a bunch of curly parsley
and a few conversations asking plants to be happy and grow big and strong like good little children. Hey I saw the Happening so I'm being nice to the plants man.
Movie score for the week.
The Happening
Super High Me
Lars and the Real Girl
the 11th Hour
The Darjeeling Limited and the Hotel Chevalier
Planet of the Apes (Marky Mark version)
Some good stuff but you'd be better off if you left the Happening and The Darjeeling Limited far back in your collective natural cues.
