“On the knees of your soul? Might as well be useful. Scrub the floor.”
– “Herzog” by Saul Bellow
Why hasn’t anyone told me about Saul Bellow? The man writes with an overabundance of punctuation. Every sentence is full of purpose. I love it.

“Jeff Mangum Concert Tomorrow!!”
– Subject of an email from my sister.
Happiness is completely spacing the Jeff Mangum concert only to realize it’s tomorrow. Better than a shot of espresso to wake oneself up on a sleepy Tuesday morning.

The beginning of the end of last night
Paul: Girls! What are we doing shots of tonight?
Me: I don't know if we really need shots...
Amber: We totally do! We just got out of a scary movie.
Paul: *pulls out a couple shot glasses, pours the RumChata and tops them with a bit of spiced rum*
Amber: Yum!! These are so good! What do you call them?
Paul: I dunno, don't have name for them.
Me: You should call it the Neil Diamond 'cuz it's so good, so good, so good...

WatchKing Tuff - “Sun Medallion” (Al Lover Remix)
So need a psych/garage remix to keep me going this afternoon.
If you dig this, check out the rest of the Distorted Reverberations (of Reverberating Distortion) by Al Lover on bandcamp. You’ll find Thee Oh Sees, Jeff The Brotherhood, Ty Segall and others get the Al Lover treatment. A mix surely to fend off this afternoon’s...

Just saw "Haywire"
Should’ve brought the whole bottle of Vodka and not just a flask.
Best character in the whole “film” was the CGI tumbleweed. Seriously.

An ex-lover once asked why I didn’t shave. I told him that if a happy little bush was good enough for Bob Ross, it was good enough for him.
As Bob says, “those little details are nice”.
Also, there’s nothing like coming home after a long day to catch the last 10 minutes of a Joy of Painting episode.

WatchSunny Ali & the Kid - “Stand By Your Man”
The rhythm of this song grabbed me so tightly I haven’t been able to wrestle myself free. I find its cadence bewitching.

I leave today for a little vacation in Florida (just in time too - cold snap coming through) and found an old Mae West film on tv to pack to.
