i'm all ideas and no follow through

so the surgery came and went. the drugs were great and i wasn't scared or uncomfortable at all during the procedure, and i was awake, even though the bartender put benadryl in my cocktail. i got to watch the tv monitor with the xray on it and i saw my heart all grayscale and beating with jellyfish tentacle catheters wiggling inside it. i went home that evening and the next morning i went out to breakfast first thing. so maybe modern medicine is pretty neat.
friday i dissected a rat:

i took some crappy video of it, and so i want to take some more of the rat this week.

thurs. i am getting together with joe to experiment with electric meat and pickles.

in other news i have begun again to write rhymes. i am thinking about making hip hop peformance art, and i feel REALLY silly. which makes me think i really have to do it. one idea is to make beats from the sounds that my body makes (like heart rhythms and breathing...)
another idea is to do a performance where i cover someone else's song... and peform it by writing the lyrics. have a video camera on my hand while i write, and project the image, and also mic the paper so that the sound of the writing incorporates with the beats of the music. i dunno.
also, maybe revisit the dolls by making one perform a song.
that's all i got for now. i promise to include findings of thursdays experiments.
