Joe Strummer

There's Joe (Cosmo right behind him) coming out of KROQ (radio station in Pasadena, CA). I had him sign my Go Straight To Hell EP. I asked him what he thought about The Alarm, who had just hit the US earlier that year and he said "You aren't falling for all that crap, are you?" Great moment! Joe and Cosmo hung out for about 15 minutes with Joe signing everything that was put in front of him, I think one guy had about 10 records with him.

Saturday in the Park

I was out in GG Park in between the Academy of Sciences and the DeYoung Museum. The goal was to peacefully read Slaughterhouse 5 but I had to change benches 3 times because random children would attach themselves to the bench I was occupying and busy themselves with screaming "BIRDIE!!! BIRDIE!!! BIRDIE!!!" or other sporadic observances. These children looked healthy, not as if they had been locked up in the cellar or attic for long periods of time, so the overblown excitement over a common sparrow was puzzling, and annoying, and unecessary, and...well you understand. So I'm a cranky wench, so what?

The Cherry Blossoms are here!


Incredibly warm Saturday afternoon, Jan. 31, 2009. The building in the background is where I live. You are looking at J's apartment.
Yup, the one T broke into by accident! lol

Where's the gig?

Those were some damn fine gigs, mind you this is a fraction of my concert stubs!! Just sayin'.

LOST and here comes the Sun.

Do you want my theory on how LOST is going to end? This was concluded after watching the 2 first episodes of the new season; without going to the myriad of discussion and theory boards that exist out there. I guess if I referenced them my theory would be shot to oblivion, but here it goes anyway...it's simple and perhaps that's why it's not correct: First of all I think the island is a game between Ben and Charles, they lose it to each other and do everything to get it back. When Ben went to see Charles at his penthouse, Widmore said something to the effect that the island was HIS and he was getting it back. Ben said that he had changed the RULES by killing Alex and thus Penny would have to die. It's like a real life game of Capture the Flag or Risk, or...GO FISH? LOL! I THINK that somehow they are going back to the island, but NOT all of them and this will cause some problems as well. I think that the original skeletal remains of "ADAM AND EVE" that they found in the caves during the first season are Kate and Jack. I think they're are going to be caught in a LOOP and doomed to repeat their time on the island over and over. I think the series is going to end like it started: with the crash of Oceanic 815!

In the meantime, enjoy some San Francisco sun!

Art for Monday: DELICA

Sunny winter day and I think Delica

Art for Friday

A little added crackle to this one. I'm buying some Golden gel medium this weekend, as K8 put it: "It's supposed to be the shizzle." Is that old schizzle, now? I remember one time we tried talking like that at work, about 3 years ago, and it was hilarious. We couldn't understand each other, ha! That crew at that time was the best, we had such a great time working with each other despite salty who would always dry to kill our fun. In a way she did, didn't she? I began the exodus, I simply couldn't continue under her reign of terror, luckily eps found a new place for me and I've been here ever since. Nice window facing South towards Mexico, Central America, South America, etc... We sizzle when the sun is out and freeze otherwise. It's a fair price to pay for peace of mind and minimal stress. Look, I was able to watch the inauguration last Tuesday. I love where I work. Sure, I could use Serene and Brian's humor and distractions, the truth is I do miss them. Serene and I still do stuff together (children melt downs included, yikes!) and I'm happy about that. I'd like to see Brian more often but he's busy and kinda flakey so it's more difficulty to nail that man down to any sort of specificity. The rain is coming down in very delicate sheets, fragile looking yet with the power to soak you through and through. I have to head out in this in about 20 minutes. It'll be fine, I have my big obnoxious umbrella from Bay Meadows, a gift from Serene by the way.

Mi razon de ser

Happy Friday.
Three day weekend, I'm just sayin'!
Go out and create or buy some art.
Besos,
