why waste a second

a big part of the enema-of-the-poophole set is newspapers (which if you know the show, is kind of a go-figure). so for the past two weeks we've been sifting through various local papers and wall street journals and NY times which slowed the process considerably since every once in a while, there would be whole sections and articles i'd pull aside to read- i still haven't gotten to the big Julian Schnabel article in the times from a few weeks ago. i keep leaving the section on my work table, i hope no one used it in a stack.
In eric's siftings, he found a bunch of The Lockhorn's comics....probably from the washington times. i don't know that i've even seen the Lockhorn's in almost 20 years. i figured it was one of those comics (such as Momma, let's say) that i figured time and inertia eventually killed. Much like i had hoped the stupid wedding would do to cathy f-ing guisewhite. i know it's stupid to expend energy hating her, but i do. god help me, i expend.
anyway, we were looking at the comics and talking about how antiquated the humour and style is and how it's just how we remember it and how the jokes are still the same and hack and really, lampshade on the head gag? really? isn't that, like, 1955 humour?
the thing i remembered the most about the lockhorne's is how afraid that that was what marriage was like. not that my parent's marriage is like that...it's not. i mean, they fight over dumb stuff sometimes, but it's definitely a partnership probably enhanced by the fact that they're artists and craftsmen of different disciplines but they compliment each other weirdly well. and how i wanted marriage to be like that and not the lockhorns and now i realize how stupid it was to waste even a second worrying about something that would never happen for me.

also, the r0utineers are practicing downstairs....well, most of them. i will miss them.
