    cyst: you know what would really complement a scene of nuclear disaster and tura satana's cleavage in black dominatrix wear?

    a nice plant.

    i've got posters of the roots, parliament-funkadelic, fela kuti, BDP, james brown, and muhammad ali standing over sonny liston (1971).

    all my plants die. most likely because i forget to water them.

    well, all but one. but i don't keep that one at the office.

    I'd consider getting a plant, d, if work weren't so very dark. the offices have the walls and windows to the outside, and those doors are often closed. the cubes are on the inside and see little natural light.

    and the fluorescent overhead lights are always, always turned off. the cubes have as many little incandescent lamps as the occupant feels like pulling out of the supply room. but I don't think a plant would do well under them.

    and besides, we're moving upstairs in the fall and then to another building in the spring.

    the other people in my department have elaborately decorated cubes. they string christmas lights and indian tapestries over the walls and put up dried flowers and fake butterflies and la la la pretty things. my cube is boring and ugly and does not comply with ada rules. I blocked off the entrance with a bookshelf, and a coworker in a wheelchair came by to show me something and I had to move the shelf.

    we talked about "five easy pieces." he recommended one of rafelson's latest films and offered me a braveheart dvd. he'd been trying to give it away on a mailing list we're both on, and apparently there were no takers. I still haven't watched two of the four dvds I own (the two that were gifts).

    the designated mourner and the matrix.


By patrick on Monday, August 28, 2000 - 01:01 pm:

    postcards, not ones that anyone has sent, just one's i like.
    -one with Neil Cassady and Jack Kerouac
    -Charlie Parker
    -Elvin Jones
    -George Benson
    -A post card annoucing the release party for the book (cover) I did for Alyson Publication. Whis in essence is a postcard of the cover.
    -A postcard of the City Lights bookstore in SF in 1988 "The New Kerouac Street, City Lights 35 Anniv."

    Two pics of the wife, one someone took when we played a gig, as she finesses her keys, another in which she makes a somewhat lewd pose with two balloons, implying she would like tits of that calibre. Then various other work shit not worth mentioning.



By dbone on Monday, August 28, 2000 - 02:12 pm:

    don't let wheelchair guys into your cubicle, cyst, they're all lechers.

    a female in my life is always telling me i need a plant in my apartment. she says it's gloomy. i have killed every plant she's ever given me, so finally she gave me plastic one - some mass of leaves that may or may not occur in nature. she put it way up on a shelf out of my reach.


By J on Monday, August 28, 2000 - 02:54 pm:

    Try cactus Droppy,or silk plants


By Isolde on Monday, August 28, 2000 - 03:00 pm:

    I have two erotic toothpicks--some lesbians and a doggy-style one, a picture from the New York Stationary show, a note from Antithesis,a bunch of inserts for baronials, the usual assortment of pens and pencils, a bronze tape dispenser, some phone books, a telephone, and somemessed up cards for taking notes.


By Trace on Monday, August 28, 2000 - 03:06 pm:

    How can TOOTHPICKS be EROTIC? Lesbian Toothpic?
    Doggy Style Toothpick? I gotta be missing something


By Dougie on Monday, August 28, 2000 - 03:38 pm:

    A license plate with a largemouth bass and my name on it (an Israeli co-worker pointed out that it's funny in Hebrew because the word fish in Hebrew sounds like "Doug") outdated phone lists, network diagrams, IP lists of machines, Symbol Cordless Laser gun configuration barcodes, pix of myself at company softball game, pix of me with co-workers, picture of my godson, pictures of my boat, picture of me catching 40 lb striped bass, no cutesy tchotchkes.


By Isolde on Tuesday, August 29, 2000 - 01:12 am:

    I thought I wrote about these. They're plastic, and at the non-toothpicking end, there are little figures...little...plastic...naked...figures....


By Antithesis on Tuesday, August 29, 2000 - 01:56 am:

    arg. I put together one of those cheapo desks for myself today... I've been moved to a different office because of political reasons. actually almost got fired today. I have a little sign on my desk that reads (in black magic marker)

    Answers: 5 cents
    right answers: 25 cents
    dumb looks are still free.

    a little-kid-manufactured pencil holder.

    a wallet-size pic of my daughter when she was 2 days old.

    oh, and a little white sticker that says "tom's box."


By Isolde on Tuesday, August 29, 2000 - 02:03 am:

    One of the girls at work quit today. Her name is Ashley. She is 20. She has 7 year's worth of black dye on her hair. Stereotypical goth. Very smart, funny, she has horrible allergies. She rocks. I'm sorry to see her go, even though she sucked as a foiler.


By Trace on Tuesday, August 29, 2000 - 07:53 am:

    I have a yellow yeild sign that says "Alien Crossing" from Devil's Tower


By cyst on Tuesday, August 29, 2000 - 03:04 pm:

    what's a foiler?


By patrick on Tuesday, August 29, 2000 - 03:10 pm:

    stained glass biz?


By Isolde on Tuesday, August 29, 2000 - 03:12 pm:

    I think I've mentioned I work for a company that make sstationary. Most of it is letterpress, and most of the letterpressed stuff is foiled. (Little silver hearts, sprays of golden roses, golden bees, golden dragonflies, etc). The method we use is called "foiling." We have a roll of foil which is sensitive to heat, and we heat the press. When the ornament (or type) impresses the foil while hot, it stamps the pattern, essentially. It's kind of hard to explain. The above sentances were confusing. Anyway, Ashley is the girl who foiled everything, thus "the foiler."


By Antithesis on Tuesday, August 29, 2000 - 04:26 pm:

    CURSES! FOILED AGAIN!

    I bet she gets that alot, huh?


By Isolde on Tuesday, August 29, 2000 - 04:46 pm:

    Not really, because the only people who know that her official title is "foiler" know what it means. And no one at work is cool enough to say that other than me, anyway.


By Gee on Monday, September 4, 2000 - 05:00 am:

    I don't have any kind of workspace, unless you could the stacks at the library, which you can't.


    but I just got a nice little Wolverine keychain for my knapsack. there's a picture of Tinkerbell on my knapsack, and a carebear (it's Tenderheart) keychain attached too. and a little Magneto pin.

    I like keychains.


By Zephyr on Monday, September 4, 2000 - 04:31 pm:
