“three songs from the mix CD which oleoptene made for me which are so poignantly hooked you must all drop what you’re doing and listen to them RIGHT THIS SECOND, copyright laws be damned, because it’s already nearly seventy degrees today and for the first time in weeks I am something like happy, though with [...]

The Brujo’s away doing a concert; I keep busy as best I can.

1. I blew out my power strip by having the piano and the iron both plugged in at the same time. 2. I can only have one of the following plugged in at a time: sewing machine OR printer OR lightbox. 3. View down our street—click for enormous version, taken by the Brujo.
a few more images of last year

For oleoptene: I grudgingly suppose this is the kind of sofa one deserves when one insists on shopping in the dumpster. Fiona seems not to mind. Painting drummed by the Brujo, many years ago. Microphone in foreground. Coral from Bahía de los Angeles, still smelling salty and briny. Unjustly accused! Princess Pipskintinkle did not pee [...]

She got a crippling case of turista and she also got me this papier-mâche-and-sawdust-stuffed souvenir doll, who [...]

Thursday 20 December 2007 | 3 cookies in the jar

trying to catch up an old college friend
Friday 21 September 2007 | 4 cookies in the jar
It’s always revelatory to me to see what I leave out, what I choose to include.
