...my mind is made of moths and matches...

I could not get by without art, books, coffee, song or twisting my fingers up in all the things.

I can get by without AI. So can you!

Most of my friends are some sort of makers. I came here to keep in touch.

This was the back/overflow bathroom at Lallo's Pizza in Brunswick, MD which doubled as a staff bathroom. That is a staff's toothbrush (sorry, not sorry). Don't worry I washed my hands before and after.
Imagine loving this song for years and then discovering that it has lyrics:

Maybe That's Why (Demo Sept 1980), by Cirith Ungol

Today I am thinking about Ray Bradbury's short story "I See You Never." I cannot find a decent PDF. If you are living in North America (or anywhere) and are unfamiliar, and have five minutes, I suggest you read it.

There are PDFs, I am just not too fond of any of them.

Am I too old to watch three handfuls of bands in three days? We're going to find out the hard way. Got home at midnight last night; was out later on Friday and Saturday. I don't feel like a pumpkin. At least, not yet.

Do you know what I want for my birthday this year?

Open the government and swear in Adelita Grijalva. I hope to wake up to this under my tree tomorrow. Thanks. Many happy returns of the day.

If you are local, I invite you to spank me.

In lieu of cake and ice cream, please light a candle.

I wish this was my Halloween costume.

Sadly, I am going as Piggy from Lord of the Flies.
Hello! Lots of new followers! Looking forward to meeting you, virtually. Hope you are finding ways to stay sane (ish) and also joys to hold onto for dear life. I get paper dirty and will do my best not to be tedious.

Remember. When SNAP Benefits don't get distributed Friday grocery stores won't make sales. That's 12% of all sales and up to 60% for some stores. Stores will compensate by raising prices. Halting SNAP benefits won't just endanger our most vulnerable citizens, it'll affect us all. Stop the madness!

A RANT ABOUT NO RESTAURANTS!!

I came up with "The One Flaw" theory of advertising in the mid-late 1980s. Here's how it works:

Include in copy one little flaw that the receiver's mind 1) notices, 2) evaluates as no big whoop and 3) accepts on that basis - letting in all the rest of the message.

I talked to my mother on the phone yesterday to let her know that Portland as I experience it is fine and she shouldn't be concerned for my safety with the National Guard coming in - and she asked me if I was sure things were okay, had I been downtown lately because it looks pretty bad on the news.

It's going to be a cold and hungry winter for a lot of Americans. Maybe including me.

You know what looks war torn? The East Wing.

I got so tired of it all that I had to take a hard nap earlier tonight and woke from a dream of the White House wrapped in Tyvek.

Every once in a while I am reminded that I have still not seen The Godfather. Two questions:

Does it hold up?

What is wrong with me?

How can the lovely dove win against the bigger eagle? Remember when the dove and the eagle were on the same side, mostly?

This is helping me to keep my head glued together:
