Zen Gardens in my Mashed Potatoes...

Zoom's Wife again, (really did try to get a suit, but not accepting currently, rats!)
So, found myself totally stressed of late and in an effort to relax, had some wine, was reading barbelith and caught myself making a Zen garden in my mashed potatoes. What does it for you?

Having a wank (copyright Jack Fear, 2000). And flower-arranging - all very Mapplethorpe...

(Are you really Zoom's wife, or a sinister sub-personality splinter which only emerges after dark?)

I'm a big fan of drawing things in my cigarette ashes. Cocks, mostly. Can't really help it. I'm male, hence obcessed.

Not that there aren't females who aren't... come to think of it...

in the midst of a particularly horrific low, having the phone ring and that soothing voice reminding me of how truly good things are going to be, how good they really are

*geeks out*

I read Doom Patrol #63, "The Empire of Chairs". At the end of that I know everything's going to be alright.

spinning around and around until I can't stand up straight anymore. then just sitting back and watching the sky spin around above me.

yeah, that does it for me.

Well done. Love that idea. Will try it out the next time the ground's not muddy. Thanks.

I'm off to get some mash.

But before I do - Tai Chi, of course, and...

I just bought a kite. I'm sooo excited. And I need to be because I'm having a seriously shitty time.

La Zoomessa, you need a suit of your own! Join the fun! You're getting to be a fixture...and surely, with a name like that...

Mowing the lawn is nice for relaxation. Plus you can tan yourself at the same time. And if you're really stressed, try knocking the fuck out of a punching bag.

ooh! kite-flying! something to do as a non-pubby group event? ah gooo oooon....

Not on Parliament Hill though. Parliament Hill is where kite-flyers who think their kites are extensions of their manhood go to bond.

But dammit, how do you make the kite go UP? I have never been able to accomplish this.

pointless and uncalled for

Elevation of the kite is achieved by counterbalancing the design aerodynamics against windforce. Basically you need some wind and the right technique.

The favourite of running against the wind is the basic safe method. For the beginner it will yield the highest success rate.

The kite flying sounds great, Nick; brings back childhood memories.

Wine's good. So's just getting out of the workplace at lunch time and going for a brisk walk up to the markets. I love the feel of the fresh air, then the colour, vibrancy, smells, of the market.

A big pooh, a cigarette, a copy of Doom Patrol and The Beach Boys on the CD-player. All at the same time, obviously.

There, I've decided... this spring, a kite in the air. Though I'm being distracted from the pureness of this vision by a mental picture of the flight of phalluses over Parliament Hill, there's design aerodynamics for you.

Want to have a go at the phallic extensions?

Buy a big trick kite and line the edges with razors and go on a rampage.

You know what I like, its that feeling I had this morning - you wake up and the bed covers feel nice on your feet. That doesn't make much sense I think its related to the temperature of the covers slightly cold and when you move your feet it just feels nice especially when you stretch...and again as I've mentioned before watching someone write or draw but I think thats more sexual

I woke up yesterday so completely slowly and clean and shiny. I was so exhausted when I went to sleep, and then it was all okay...

Sleep goooood...

wake up and the bed covers feel nice on your feet

I sometimes get that when I'm really, really tired and climb in to bed at the end of the day. Mmmmm. Bed.
