in the night

i had a baby. on my own. it was still connected with a lumpy umbilical cord while i unsuccessfully tried to nurse it. i ended up giving it a saucer of milk. it was whimpering, but not dead like i feared. its form was shifting - part cat, a different race than its mother, not exactly human. it was confusing and small. then i was on the phone.

were you on ethe phone talking to the baby-cat?

fairy butler said...

somehow i was required to drink a bottle of white wine last night. we spoke of woman's issues - like was your period normal? like did you notice a gumball machine or a potted plant surprise when using the restroom? etc. sorry, i really am NOT fixated on this area although it may seem different.

fairy butler said...

krix, i was talking to my mother on the phone. about the baby.

is scabs still making you crazy?

fairy butler said...

i have on extra makeup today to combat my lack of true cleanliness. my eyes are watering. there is nothing on my agenda here - again - at beige. get ready for a blog-o-thon.

fb, today is "bring your shape-shifting-part-cat-baby-to-work-day." If you keep the umbilical cord

Anonymous said...

sorry, if you keep the umbilical cord long, you can just put the end of it in a saucer of milk or wine. I read that somewhere.

sloth, i have the mutant baby under my desk in a puddle of milk. the umbilical cord withered up and fell off on the subway though which was a relief although now there is all this powdery rusty stuff all over my abdomen. Luckily i am wearing my large Northface fleece pullover that happens to be burgandy (smiley face).

fairy butler said...

work is such a fucking waste of time.

i think i should change my blog to this phrase.

i know it's a stupid thing to say, think, etc. but UGH. what a waste. i wish i were still drunk.

if you mix the powdery rusty stuff into a martini, you will see god.

fb, I am beigeing it today, too. no works yet, why did they make me wake up so early if they have no work waiting for me?

fairy butler said...

sloth, i have a feeling today that I will have 1 hour of work. let's race today to see who gets something to do first.

are you back at beige for the summer now? is NIPS over and out for now?

Anonymous said...

ha! fb you win. they just gave me a little annoying, mind-numbing task that will take 20 minutes.

NIPS is still on for the next 2 weeks, so there's a little overlap, but after that it's mostly just beige for the summer. you taking any time off soon fb? to spend with the catbaby in your garden of earthly delights?

fairy butler said...

i am jealous sloth. i just sent out another email letting all the producers know i am free. no one needs help i guess. so here i sit.

my contract is up around july 4. then i will have to decide what to do - if they want me to stay, in what capacity, for what rate, etc. i have decided i will not go full time forever indefinitely. unless the dough was crazy. then maybe.

i hardly remember art. i feel very removed from it although i am still in the shack here and there. i don't know if it matters. i don't konw anymore what to think.

Wow! FB that site rules. I was thinking of a site that is similar called "Name that bar." I'll bet some of the bugs are regulars at some of my featured bars.

I have to run around at lunch time and get re-identitied.

Scabs can go pick themselves. I have washed my hands. They get to tangle with Mini b now who is about to go on a murderous rampage anyway so I wish them luck.

Hi Slothy, welcome back to psuedo-reality.

ugh, I'm so P.O.ed. This friend of mine just came to my studio and brought me a DVD he wanted me to watch called AIDS Inc. about how AIDS is fabricated by the medical establishment because there's money in it and it really doesnt exist. We got into a fight bacause I think the idea is kind of offensive. Now I want to punch a wall.

Anonymous said...

ugh Corny. What kind of paranoid conspiracy theorist neanderthal would produce such a show?

PD said...

FB, the real question is...who were you on the phone with?
Corns, that is just insane!!! What are people dying from? A bad case of the flu?

fairy butler said...

corny, ugh. don't punch a wall - punch your friend. yeah, right, aids doesn't exist. i mean i have to agree that drug companies are shitty and i not to be trusted but come on!

Anonymous said...

yeah, corny, kick his ass!

pditty, you seem a little aggressive?

fairy butler said...

i just wasted an hour and a half wandering around herald sq for the second day. hit forever 35 and boy oh boy it was swarming with tweens and tacky people. it made me feel old and irritable...

the person in the dressing room next to me would put something on and say "oooh, foxy mama (something in spanish)" and then call loudly for her daughter. "where are you? what you doing". it was cool.

then some brits were buying something at the rite aid in front of me and this woman commented "such sincerity" to the cashier when she said thank you. ? do you expect a sincere thank you from the cashier at rite aid when you buy a pack of gum? then i had to be extra nice to the cashier to make up for the brit tards.

fairy butler said...

sorry about the random stories. it's really really boring here. i have 2 hours to kill. i have saved the nytimes as the last resort and we're getting close....

Corny said...

I just looked into the DVD and it's a movie by "Dr." Gary Null. He's a crazy and paranoid health fasist who used to be on WBAI.
so I wrote my friend a whole long email about why I didn't want to watch the stupid movie and realized after 20 minutes that he DOESNT USE A COMPUTER!!
Frustrating. I am waisting a lot of time today.

Corny said...

or wasting time, it's up to you to decide if you need proper spelling...

Anonymous said...

why can't my waist be wasting away?
FB, we must meet and waste time together in the beige nabe. I HATE HERALD SQUARE! So hard to move around.
Hi krixy. Hope you have been properly identified.

fairy butler said...

I'm still at beige. waiting for my dinner. Corney, this is the reason many Africans don't get treated for Aids. There are rumors that the drugs kill you and so people go to witch doctors. Where did your friend get this? It's nuts.

beige boring me. hate it here.

corny, i wonder if your friend got signed up for the conspiracy video of the month club featuring such favorites like:
the holocaust never happened
911 was planned by the United States (or Israel)
The moon landing was fake
etc.

Hey thnx for the delish bbq and letting the munchkin sit on the flowers :/


Garden/new porch-room looks stellar!

Corny said...

Hi fb,
I'm so braced for a fight with the conspiracy theory guy. He called me today and asked me if I watched the aides is a myth video, I told him I hadn't yet and I would return it to him tomorrow.
I'll let you know how the smack down goes.

Anonymous said...

corny, dare him to have unprotected anal sex with someone who has aids... and that if he won't do it than that can only mean aids exists.

tell him you were told this when you were abducted by aliens.

the only thing that works with people like this is logic. you need to reason with them.

offer him pop rocks with pepsi.
