i haven’t had a phone in over a week. i can’t describe how much isolation i feel just from not having a telephone. i mean, think of it- we’ve had telephones since before we knew how to use them. they’ve just always been there, we’ve always seen them. i guess that’s like a tv too but a tv isn’t personal or interactive like a phone is. i really hope qwest actually hooks my land line back up tomorrow. i can’t wait to talk to someone i can’t see who isn’t near me.
i just found this listing in craigslist’s free section:
“Free taxidermy raccoon. Gently used. No rips. One eye missing. In majestic attack pose and comes with patriotic American flag. Eager to move, stuffed cougar on way. Call ***6068085 anytime day or night is fine”
Cobain’s experience of his relationship with Vail would inspire the lyrical content of numerous of the songs on Nevermind. When discussing topics such as anarchism and punk rock with friend Kathleen Hanna, she once spraypainted “Kurt Smells Like Teen Spirit” on his wall. Teen Spirit being the name of a deodorant Vail would wear, that Hanna joked Cobain smelled like. Cobain however was unaware of this, and would interpret the slogan as having a revolutionary meaning, inspiring the title to the song “Smells Like Teen Spirit”.
its weird that i never knew this.
