Monday's mutterings

When I was in Missouri I bought my Aunt's massage chair..it was practically new and she wasn't using it, so she let me have it on what was left on the payment plan. Damn that thing gives you a workout. I used to think I was always tired..it was lower back pain making me feel exhausted. It's good to get some relief.

I watched the Matrix with my son last night. I hadn't seen it in 10 years so I didn't remember most of it. We had a good time. It's funny to look back and see where all those slow motion bullet dodging cliches came from. My son liked it so much he asked about the other two Matrix movies... I told him that they sucked the maggots out of a dead donkey's nut sac. I think he threw up in his mouth a little.

People don't believe me when I tell them that I sometimes make square poop...well rectangles actually... You'll have to take my word for it because I'm not taking any pictures. I wonder if that's where the term "shitting bricks" came from.

My garden has pretty much been a disaster this year...a lot of my plants died inexplicably. I only got two cherry tomatoes..no squash or zucchini..and just a handful of peppers. The only things that did well were the rosemary, spinach and basil. Some asshole stomped my potato plant and my watermelon vine got ripped up by the dog...next year I'm going to use bigger pots and build some sort of half shade so they don't get so burnt up in the middle of the day.
