Fewer Fortune Cookies

DelphiForums messed me up.  I had their Advanced level of
membership, which gave me what I needed from them.  They abolished
the level — you either get the Basic membership free but with
advertising all over the place or their Plus membership, which is way
overpriced.  They billed me for my Advanced membership (we were
allowed to keep our Advanced as long as we were paid) on a credit card
which had been cancelled because I had lost my wallet — they never
notified me of a problem, and bumped me back to Basic.  They have
not been answering my emails to them.  Oh well, the only thing I
needed them for was The Realm of Be*ing, which is where I got most of
my good spiritual comments I posted here.

Otherwise I have had a few days of more-or-less depression.  It
only got bad one day, and I picked it up by the end of that day. 
But I’m not having enough contact with my friends, and am back to
having trouble going farther outside my door than my mailbox (which is
inside, in the foyer of the building).

I just noticed Kayla posted on the 17th.  She’s 6 months pregnant
(before you ask, she left here August 2, 2005, so it’s not mine). 
I worry about her… To read her blog or comment on it, search for
gkayla.

My email has fallen way off this year.  That is good, because some
days I barely can keep up with them anyhow.  I have not been using
my CornerBar forums as much as I used to.  My workload has fallen
off, which is a good thing, but so have my earnings.  Nothing new
this month except for a few dollars to hang fliers up around downtown.

I did get back out to the Open Mic last night.  I played three
songs I had never performed in public, mostly because I just learned
them this week.  Two of them were “lost” songs by Judee Sill —
the disc with them on it was not found and issued until last year, even
though she died in 1978.  There are at least 3 songs on it that
would have been a shame to not hear, and a RealAudio movie of her only
know filmed performance (bad quality, but again, it’s the only film we
know of).  I encourage you to get this, but you should first try
to find her two earlier albums, “Judee Sill” and “Heart Food”. 
These are being reissued under a number of titles, the Rhino Handmade
label is the best, with more studio outtakes, but the Water albums will
do.  Rhino has sold out of their American edition but has just
issued the same two discs in the UK, so you can probably buy a copy
from AmazonUK.  The new release (2-disk set) is called “Dreams
Come True” and is on Water.

Anyhow, I’m OK but not great.  It’s getting lonely again. 
Pretty bad when your imaginary girlfriend breaks up with you, LOL.

Hugs,
Me
