:-(

 












2day as i was getting out of the Koret swimming pool, a woman getting in said2me "what comes what goes". 

who's gonna drive u home 2nite

 
 
 












Pretty nice eh? (except for the license plate holder, which said "Gun Control Means Using Both Hands").

I like to remember all the cool cars i've had...the coolest was a white Jaguar XKE convertible WITH AN 8TRACK PLAYER!!! yeah! And then there was the Metropolitan... chocolate and white--it looked like a cute lil dessert. Had to tie the two back doors together tho...they wouldnt stay shut otherwise. And my KarmanGhia...now THAT was a cute car. Stick shift on the floor! Really fun2drive. The Jag was fun too, but also scarey...2much power. And cant4get about my aqua and white Corvair!! Does ANYONE reading this remember Corvairs???

The only way I'd like2tour now is in a little camper/RV kind of thing. Go up and down the coast, and play from the back of the camper. Doesnt that sound like fun? Little drum tracks, play kinda quietly/acoustic. BFFRich is bitchin' on his acoustic gtr, especially when he uses a slide. We'd be just like Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney in TWO FOR THE ROAD. Only different. So there's your tour story for2day...imaginary tour. Bye yall.

 

out walkin'

 
  

i always feel like...somebody watchin' me

 












And speaking of 80's hit singles, White Courtesy Phone was recorded at the Plant in Sausalito, which was owned by the author of the above-referenced Rockwell song. So there's your tour story for today. Oh,i guess that's not a tour story. HELLO CLEVELAND!!

In a surprising development, BFFRich has assumed the identity and voice of a gopher. A talking gopher. A talking gopher who can read. Stay tuned.

Do u know about milkfat.com? We need more hours in the day, dont we? All these places like milkfat/youtube/google movies...and the one that alters previews of movies...they all take time. And time is DEFINITELY not on our side.

And speaking of time, it's time4me2go. bye. 1love.

These trees are 20 years old. Hope u r beautiful. 

i had a dream

 ...












that i was looking at a bright pink spot on the wall, the color of these flowers. I thought i saw the spot moving, so i looked more closely, and saw an angry man, walking with a young girl i knew was his daughter, and their dog. The man raised his arm and hand up, and i thought he was going to hit the daughter, so i yelled at him to stop, but he couldnt hear me. None of them could hear me. As the man raised up his arm, he let go of the dog's leash, so now i am worried about the dog running away AND the daughter. So i keep yelling at the spot on the wall, and i know in my dream that i must look nuts, yelling at a pink spot on the wall. Then A woke up. 

what is it?

 












Animal, vegetable or mineral? It's a pine cone...with something else, like bark or a leaf or something, stuck to it. Pretty exciting, huh?

New taste sensation... lemon-infused olive oil. omg u havent lived until. And where was that lovely little item being served? Where else...Pizzette on california/23rd avenue in sf. Had a lovely little lunch there with our friend jenny. She is visiting from NY. Gave her a lovely little see-thru sleeveless chiffon top to wear on fire island this summer.

No tour or shows or anything...2busy eating pizza with asparagus and ricotta cheese and toasted pine nuts. 2 busy taking pix for the blog. 2busy walking on the beach in the sun. 2 busy looking out the window at the gently-waving palm tree. I'm a very busy man. x0x0 

beauty-essness

 
 
 
 












Sitting here eating fresh kumquats, cant get any blog ideas. So let's see...no tour or shows or anything...2busy uh, 2busy reading bumperstickers? IF I WANTED TO HEAR THE PITTERPATTER OF LITTLE FEET, I'D PUT SHOES ON MY DOG. My favorite: STOP HONKING CANT U SEE I'M ON THE PHONE?!

7:46 pm. it's gettin' dark but it's not dark yet. love ya.
 

new york doll

 












Here i am with HUMAN4ANIMAL Ratgirl.

And speaking of new york dolls, just saw the movie about arthur kane. What a person. Very other. Just beautiful.

No tour or shows or anything...2busy crocheting multi-colored coasters. Very silly, i know.

Still mad about missing the mike skinner show in sf. I wanted 2give him a...coaster. 

easter shmeester

Yes yes it is easter, but the main thing on my mind
right this minute is this: I CANT FUCKING BELIEVE
I WILL MISS THE STREETS SHOW AT THE FILLMORE
IN JUNE. Godfuckingdammit2hell. Fucking bloody hell.
This show should have filled me with wonder, instead i'll be under...
starry skies in michigan, looking at the sand, with no one to hold my hand, pissed
at what i'm missin'...at what i wont be listenin' to.

Grrrrrrr!!!

Color me mad!

mister ed

Of course a horse is a horse. As my first husband would say,
"that's axiomatic".

Went to Zuni and had lunch upstairs with ratgirl and bffrich...
shoestring potatoes, pizza, wine, ice cream, sea bass, capuccinos, apple tart.
Sadly, had 2suffer thru without deep-fried squash blossoms...they werent on the menu.
Saw former label-mate Shirley Manson there, also seated at an upstairs table.
She may have been somewhat unhappy...it wasnt raining.

Remembering just now that Almo wanted Shirley's band Garbage 2change their name.
I'm the one who should have changed my band's name. Right? Am I right or am I right?
When you're right you're right, am I right? Seriously, what kind of name is angel corpus christi? We named it that as kind of a dumb joke really, never thinking it was going anywhere but our living room.

And speaking of jokes, do u ever do that thing where u just say the punch-line of the joke?
GREEN SIDE UP, GREEN SIDE UP!! x0x0 

this is wrong

Am i right? Isnt this wrong? This really bugs me. Maybe2much coffee? (Me, not the lion.) Maybe the person who put the ears on the lion had2much coffee?.

Hope u see jesus in your easter egg! x0x0

dont let the rains come down oh no dont let the rains come down

The rain has stopped in sam framcisco. but my fat ass just keeps rollin' along. actually i dont have a fat ass. And i guess it's not rolling, either.

We have seen two easter bunnies in our back yard. They look like chocolate, and one of them appears 2b missing part of an ear. Will try2get pix.

Favorite song of the day: When You Wasnt Famous by the Streets. I know it dont sound like the Happy Mondays, but when i hear it, i THINK of the Happy Mondays.

So, no tour or shows or anything... 2 busy editing
Ralphie the Gopher. Bye yall.

ratgirl in the house

Well, ALMOST in the house...see u 2omorow, your ratness!

No tour or shows or anything...2 busy translating cockney. Here's one that has stumped all the cockney mavens: rhubarb and custard, as in "your rhubarb and custard verses".

Still still raining in 'frisco...and it feels like raindrops so many raindrops yeah it feels like raindrops, falling from my eye eyes, falling from my eyes.

Willa Cather rocks. Bye yall. 

your face here

On top of a mountain
smilin' and shoutin'
spring flowers sproutin'.

No tour or shows or anything. Gee i sure do miss that English food...ha ha.

Ta, mates. Toodle pip, old beans. x0x0 

why rob a bank when you've got a sucker4a mother?

Gee, hope i can get off youtube long e nuff2watch this dvd of Dog Day i received 4my birthday. Yours truly knows every line, every teenytiny bit of dialogue in Dog Day..."What's with the hands? They're my girls, I'm goin' back in there." And "Yeah, they shot me with like, unreal." And "Little Timmy, you're the man of the house now." And, "We're viet vets, and killing dont mean nothing 2 us." And, and, and!
People really dont like it when they r in the movie theater and someone like me is sitting behind them talking along with the movie. I guess SOME people have NO sense of humor. haha.

Also received a Willa Cather bio on dvd. What kind of person would like Dog Day AND Willa Cather? A nut, that's who. Also received a fantastic book from Bruce Anderson... Accidental Genius...How John Cassavetes Invented the American Independent Film, by Marshall Fine.
As u may know, the thing that made me cry was when john cassavetes died.

No denying that i dont have a tour coming up tho. Cant say that i mind; singing along with The Streets is suiting me just fine.

Well, better go, youtube is calling!!! How many times can one person watch the velvet underground on the lawrence welk show? Unlimited times, apparently!

picasa/picasso

Nobody ever called pablo picasso an asshole. Maybe because he never used picasa? or because he didnt cut his ear off? Who knows. But back to me...i LOVE picasa(and picasso). All i did after taking this photo and importing it, was hit one button, my favorite button actually, "highlight". Doesnt it look like the daffys have been superimposed? Nope... just super.

So since i dont have my own news, hows about i keep u up on dean wareham's news? A documentary of Luna's last tour is being premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival later in April. Exciting! Sure hope the bits with me were cut out! 4real! I dont mind being the oldest one in the joint, but jeez i dont need it documented4chrissakes. Well, maybe they used the blur button on me face. haha.

p.s. i am :-( about gene pitney.

said i was born at the bottom of a wishing well

happy birthday2everyone. 

hacky birfday

sorry .... but we had to hack this website to wish our favorite non-touring superstar a happy birthday.

wtf?

uh oh...what's happened here? hmmm...looks grisly.

and speaking of grisly, have u seen the werner herzog movie about the idiot bear-man? he's so dumb, cmon rip him2shreds.

and speaking of shredding, have u heard the band THE BAD PLUS? they do a killer instrumental version of iron man.

well, gotta go, gotta get back on youtube.

oh yeah, speaking of youtube, a fan in scotland watched JET BOY on youtube, and sent us a nice note ...they fondly remembered seeing an ACC live performance at a bookstore in glasgow. We remember it fondly as well. There were a few very young kids there, like, maybe around 9 or 10 years old, and their favorite song was ME AND MY BERETTA. Apparently they had skipped school that day to attend the show. Way 2 get going on that rock and roll lifestyle kids! They knew all the words to the songs, it was presh, what can i say. Sometimes i find myself wondering about those kids...well, wherever u r kids, love from here...hope u r alright. x0 

come along if u care come along if u dare

U r taking a rainy-day trip to Half Moon Baked, er, i mean Half Moon BAY. Sweet. In the first 3 pix, u r heading south. If u went past Half Moon Baked, u would come to Santa Cruz. Yeah. In the other 3 pix, u r driving north, back to Sam Framcisco. Riding the Pacific Coast Highway(PCH) is a real gas.

And speaking of gas, i didnt know until 2day about the New York 9/11 Truth Movement. Wow. Check it out in NY Magazine March 27 issue.

And speaking of issues, Gimme an issue I'll give u a tissue. You know who said that, right? :-) The one, the only, mister lou reed.

And speaking of lou reed, i had a dream once that he was helping me pick out some persian carpets, and needless2say, u know, i was having a hard time concentrating on the rugs. Kept having inappropriate thoughts about the rugs. U know, like, "gee, i sure would like2b face-down on this rug, and..." Well, u get the idea. Uh oh, spouse-over-shoulder, gotta go.
