Penni, Dash is on the phone. He says, "When is your lobotomy scheduled?"
He says, "The motel is on a street that starts with S. Or it starts with S."
We're talking L.A. here.

The last, (honest), motel we pulled into in LA, had a dead guy in it.
And after we got all unpacked, the water didn't turn on in the shower. It just clanked. We had to change rooms. Gooodamnit. You know, people go on the road to do stuff. It was like eleven. I said to MJ, "Let's swim in the pool in the dark, before we change rooms." Well, how else are you going to salvage such an evening?
I was pooped.
Not as the pooped as the guy who died, but pooped. You know, maybe the shower was the last thing.
Clanky Motel.

[Dash and MJ are saying, "They had to close the ski lifts because of snow!!!! The chairs are dragging in the snow!"]
Yah. My amigo noticed the guy in Room 1 was dead, but the ladies didn't.
They noticed the cop car in the lot there, but not the actual cop sitting on the chair next to the bed with the dead guy, writing on a notepad.
I stared agape, and he actually noticed me, and got up and closed the door.
While we waited, the ambulance arrived to move em out, and we got to drive away to our room. I discussed it with me amigo later, but neither woman knew what was going on.
Mystery readers. They're not as competent as you think.
[Now they're discussing how desert lovers could wind up in The Rain Forest. Dash says, "I don't know about you, but for me it was drugs."]

Now they're discussing how I get stuck in the mud all the time.
Now they've substituted my name in Shakespeare. "Paul is a fool."

"We've found that after you go to the Doctor, and he gives you bad news, you can go to the movies."
"Ooooh. Did you know Siskel died?" [This upset me. I told MJ it was coming, when he first disappeared.] I related to that. I know "related" is a silly word. They'll find another.
You're right, Coby, Ish, Dred, Penni. Cancer sucks.
There's a book of poetry out, "Fuck Cancer."
Yah. Fuck it.
It's not amusing.
It hurts when I laugh.
