Round the Clock (+Poker Trotter Tubbester is Weary)

SUCH SEVERE EXHAUSTION yesterday I slept midday to five pm. Six pm to two am; three am to 8:30, all in all about 18 hours.

I was too exhausted to bother posting
this on the day.

I think Maple Syrup, my druggieworker, think I have a disease. I told her I have been like this for years. Years before heroin. It was the fact that heroin played the perfect antidepressant and seemed to give such energy and confidence to my exhausted soul that got me so hooked on it to start with...

Spherical Poker* Trotter Tubbester Roborovski says hello. When she is not wearily snoozing in her nest, she is quite perky as well...

* I'm not sure how "Poker" got to be in her name; Spherical has never been into cardgames ever in her short little life...

JUST AS I PREDICTED an exotic coctail of opioid narcotics and benzodiazepine hypnotics has been found in Michael Jackson's body. These included Dilaudid (hydromorphone), Vicodin (Oxycodone) ~ both powerful narcotic painkillers; fentanyl ~ said to be 50 times stronger than morphine ~ which is orindarily only giving to the terminally ill when morphine is no longer strong enough, methadone (given usually for opiate addiction as we know), Valium (diazepam) and Xanax (alprazolam), both benzodiazepine tranquillizers; Ambien (zolpidem) a new-style sleeping medication said to have fewer side-effects than traditional benzodiazepines... among others, according to several media reports.

The Sun newspaper even claimed that in the end he was begging doctors to knock him out for three days at a time on propofol (aka Dirpivan; click here for an informative write-up), an anaesthetic agent rarely used outside operating theatres and intensive care wards, a treatment he was initially given to relieve the pain (so the newspaper claims) of multiple skinpeel operations...

Michael "mummified by drugs" (People)

What with sister LaToya making claims that her brother was "murdered" by a greedy entourage in interviews for which she was paid by the notoriously cash-splash-happy British press (though none of this allegedly dodgy entourage, however, seems to have benefited in the slightest from his will) and anyone who knew him suddenly seeming to have a story to sell, just as I thought, the intrigue that surrounded the star all his adult life has only thickened after his death...

VIDEO OF THE DAY:

PET HORNET!

Yes this is real...



SPIDERS ON DRUGS

The world-famous comedy minidocu. This one's had over 5,000,000 hits on Youtube and no wonder ..!..



This one, incidentally is based on truth. Orb-web spiders (like our star) really were fed LSD in the 1950s. On low doses their webs became fantastically complexicated and beautiful. At higher doses the spiders' brains fried and they spun nothing more than a formless sticky blob ...

  1. I was only saying to Clare tonight that the more 'time poor' I am the better organised I am. Maybe busying yourself will get those circadian rhythms in order. I've seen the spider experiment with caffeine and has he same effet!

  5. I can't look at the spider video, Gleds! Goodness me. Where do you think Jacko was getting it, then? Methinks we ain't seen nothin' yet - wait for the squabbling over his possessions!

  6. I wasn't surprised about the results of the autopsy on Michael Jackson, either, Gleds. Poor tormented soul, I hope he's in peace now.

  7. I love my Canadian documentaries - these would come on tv as filler back when I was little. They weren't nearly this amusing though.

  8. Baino: I hope so.

    Syd: ta

    AnonymousDrifter: the person who "adopted" it stole it from the wild and keeps it in that box which it thinks is home because of pheromones... and hand-feeds it daily

    Akelamalu: hopefully it will just go away again. What does my head in is sleeping most of the day then ALL NIGHT on top...

  9. Welshcakes: aye. I read a biography of MJ and when a relative died he and his siblings raided the house for all the jewellery etc they could get before probate and other grabbers got their hands on it... which is why I believe press reports of similar happening to HIS home. "He surely would have wanted it" ~ and I actually believe that...

    Pussinboots: "the dead know nothing" ~ to quote the Bible

    Jeannie: as amusing as...??... the spiders and hornets? good!
