news you don't need to know
* the '07-'08 creeping crud continues unabated its march to the sea via my worn out body. as of friday, i will have been sick for one month exactly, with about four days of respite in there somewhere during my first course of antibiotics. almost through my second course and still sick as a dog. and at the chinatown hilton in san francisco preparing to go into a meeting with a potential high-drama quotient. 'lord help,' as my grandmother would say.
* the list of unpleasantries could continue on and on, but suffice it to say, '08 ain't so great.

* i've never read any joyce carol oates before and i picked up 'blonde' to take on vacay over the new year. i have a passing interest in marilyn monroe, so i figured it would be a good intro into oates-land. it's slow-going, but it's pretty amazing. how does this woman write two books a year and still have time to create what i think may be one of the best ruminations on the nature of hollywood i've come across?
* checked the weather earlier and the 7 day forecast for l.a. is rain every day. what the eff? there's gonna be some hills a-slidin' and some roofs a-leakin' pretty soon. the bright spot -- leaving for miami a week from tomorrow. first trip to south florida and we're armed with a definitive list of vintage shops, plus maps! life ain't all bad.
* i'm with andre 3000 on the kate-bush-is-the-shit thing --- "waashing macheeeeeeeeennnnnnnn!" i mean, come on! and that's just the new stuff. then there's this, which is just beyond:
