Yes, indeed.

Alex, you were supposed to be "representing" the ILX-faction of Clint Conley Worshippers at Clint's Solo show at North Six in Brooklyn.

What's wrong with you? Why are you on the computah?

I'm more upset about missing Liquid Liquid at the Knitting Factory, honestly.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 8 March 2003 06:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

You are not honouring Mission of Burma's fire.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 8 March 2003 06:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

Well, it's more likely I'd have the opportunity to see the revived Mission of Burma again than Liquid Liquid again.

Incidentally, there is only *ONE* fire to be honored, and it burns exclusively for the Joke.

Donna, what is a naturopath? Is it like a psychopath, and if so how do you get qualified?

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 8 March 2003 12:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

Forget naturopaths. No one explained Yaphet's hair to me.

(I'm still bored. And I need a break from my past lives.)

ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Saturday, 8 March 2003 16:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

haha yes martin you must be pshychotic to even consider becoming a naturopath.
it is the term for someone trained in healing, treating the 'entire person' rather than just the symptoms. we use herbal medicines, bach remedies, nutrition, and iridology ( as a diagnostic tool ).
the idea is quite simple - treat the person, not the disease.
i trained at one of australias many colleges for this but am a little disillusioned with it all now, as i found that even though natural medicines are very effective, most people still want a 'quick fix' and are not prepared to make any effort themselves to feel better.

donna (donna), Saturday, 8 March 2003 17:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

I just realised how horrible that sounded. Sorry. For once, I wasn't being intentionally dismissive.

I am, however, being obsessive about that hair...

It's a rather lonely obsession, it seems. *sigh*
