jackshoegazerGood Morning!
I REALLY need to go to sleep. I've barely slept since Tuesday because of the drama with my vehicle. I think I'm crashing all day today. My kitty, Eva, is in heat and annoyingly loud, so I pray she will, pardon my French, shut the fuck up!
My father, quite unexpectedly, is saving my ass with the car department. He paid to have my car towed to his house, he's buying and installing the dead parts and bringing my reanimated car back to me. It will be like magick as far as I'm concerned. I, of course, have to pay him back, but at least I don't have to come up with over $400 instantly. My father's wife - no, not my step-mother, there's a difference - my father's wife was against the idea of him helping me at all. How completely fucked-up is that? She gets mad at him for helping his son, but she will use my father's money to pay for her daughter's home owner's insurance for a year. Can anyone think of a better definition of the archetypal Evil Step-Mother? This is the same woman who made me get rid of (hide!) my religion and occult books and called me a Satanist because I study religions other than Christianity. I swear, some people! Anyway... My housemate, Brian, also lent his support with my vehicle situation, loaning me his car in the interim so I could get to work. It's just like Qui Gon says, "Another solution will present itself." I feel pretty blessed right now.
I finished and framed Kiwikat's drawing. It's beautiful, one of my favorites so far. The framing was amazing too! And apparently she finished my trade painting as well. I'm excited to get it later in the week. Because of work, she's gotten to see her picture in progress almost daily, whereas I've only seen mine once in its very early stages, so conclusively, I'm curious!
On a final note, I read an entire book last night called "Denial" by Keith Ablow. What a last name! The book was a psychological thriller/mystery, and a pretty good one as well. It was graphic, both with sex and violence and had quite a bit of drug use, mostly cocaine. I've come to the conclusion this is the Grand Trinity of American Media: Sex, Drugs, & Violence. The psychology in the book was excellent. It helps the author is a psychiatrist, but it was absolutely engaging nonetheless. I did, after all, read the book in one night. I'll close this post with a quote from the book, which I loved and find to be one of those things that could arguable be called a Universal Truth:
"We are, all of us, crippled and twisted. Most of us strive desperately to keep our grotesqueries out of sight and mind. Our suffering is transformed by an alchemy of the Soul into addiction, ulcers, strokes, hatred, even war. But a very few people, who we may call Angels, appear unpredictably in our lives and help us to stop running from ourselves. The brightest Light greets those brave enough to open their eyes to the Darkness."
