There's a paragraph in the Barthelme story "Lightning" which always makes me want to become a monk, for about 5 seconds:
talked to a Trappist monk who had been struck by lightning in 1975 while working in the fields at the order's Piffard, New York, abbey. Having been given permission by his superior to speak to Connors, the small, bald monk was positively loquacious. He told Connors that the one deprivation he had felt keenly, as a member of a monastic order, was the absence of rock music. "Why?" he asked rhetorically. "I'm too old for this music, it's for kids, I know it, you know it, makes no sense at all. But I love it, I simply love it. And after I was struck the community bought me this Sony Walkman." Proudly he showed Connors the small device with its delicate earphones. "A special dispensation. I guess they figured I was near-to-dead, therefore it was all right to bend the Rule a bit. I simply love it. Have you heard the Cars?" Standing in a beet field with the brown-habited monk Connors felt the depth of the man's happiness and wondered if he himself ought to rethink his attitude toward Christianity. It would not be so bad to spend one's days pulling beets in the warm sun while listening to the Cars and then retire to one's cell at night to read St. Augustine and catch up on Rod Stewart and the B-52's.

Also Estela's rehab sounds a hell of a lot better than the ones my mother's been in but maybe that's sue in part to diffs between US/AUS healthcare sys? In order to go to nice ones here you have to pay out the wazoo.

yeah i'm not fucked up enough for NHS rehab and i'm not really on speaking terms with any higher powers so i have horrible feeling i will just have to tough this sobriety thing out by myself/get chained to the bed every few days when the thirst kicks in

She is the best, THE BEST. Maybe she's growing out of the monster photos that I remember but her teeth used to be sharp and pointy and her curls go everywhere and are RED and she always struck me as someone who would get close to you and then bite and relish it completely without any attack of conscience and you'd never see it coming.
So basically I was otm w/r/t adorably cheerful sociopathy.
