super salad



Hello.
When i was working as a waitress in Bloomington to support myself and my first husband,(a lazy no-good4nothing gtr-playing freak) (HI BRUCE!), sometimes diners thought i was saying "Super Salad" when i'd ask them if they wanted "soup or salad" with their dinner. They'd say "Super Salad? What's that?"
This minestrone soup and "Glad Hand" salad were on the menu at FISH last week.

i dream of mickey


Hello. Still on a continuing quest for all things mickey rourke, which i guess is contributing to my mickey dreams at night. When i wake up, i dont remember anything specific, but i know i've been with mickey. Oh i'm just now remembering something...in one of the dreams i had hands and fingernails like his. It was upsetting. (Then A woke up. -ed.)
Been trying 2 watch all his films, but in alot of them, he doesnt have that many scenes and i keep 4getting what it is i'm watching. R says I need a "Mickey Reel".

let the right one (stay) in


Hello.
On Paul&Peggi's recommendation, watched LET THE RIGHT ONE IN the other night. Then the weirdest thing happened: we couldnt get the dvd out of the player and thought we'd be condemned to watching the movie over and over again for eternity. But of course R finally managed to get it out (oooh. -ed). LOVE this movie!! 5 bites!
And speaking of crossing oceans of time, I cant believe this post is over already.

nobody's fool nobody's fool, never again no no

Hello.
Remember that song NOBODY'S FOOL by Cinderella? ACC's senior fans know that she loves dumb rock ballad lyrics: "I count the falling tears, they're falling from my eyes. Seems like a thousand years, since we broke the ties." Now cmon, is that brilliant or what? Whatever happened to that Cinderella guy anyway? Tom something or other. I'd still like 2 record that song someday. (Well u better get your ass in gear, if u know what i'm sayin'. -ed.)
And speaking of dumb songs, R red somewhere that ACC's version of CLOWN SEX was being used as a ringtone. Ha!
If'd u'd like 2 sing along to CLOWN SEX (#13), here r the unreleased lyrics:

There were some clowns
They had some sex
There were some clowns they had some sex there were some clowns they had some sex
There were some clowns
They had some sex
There were some clowns they had some sex there were some clowns they had some sex
There were some clowns
They had some sex
There were some clowns they had some sex there were some clowns they had some sex
There were some clowns
THEY! HAD! SEX!
CLOWN SEX! CLOWN SEX! CLOWN SEX!(lyrics by george earth). Hi George!

push and pull


Hello.
Is this accordion player cute or what? The setting looks similar to the lobby of the Mark Hotel in Manhattan where during an ACC photo shoot with Doris Kloster , the great Eli Wallach walked by and said to the lady with him "No, I dont know why she's not wearing a bra either." I had on a white lacy GibsonPalermo top something like this.
Looked at another houseboat in Sausalito today. Hmmmmmmm.

sammich


Hello.
Made a giant-sized sammich 4 dinner 2nite. It wasnt all that.
R said "it's not the kind of bread I would've used" and it chuffed me just ever so slightly, probably because he was right (say it: AS USUAL) and also,("and also"????-ed.) because i ate 2much of it even tho the cals/taste ratio was off;I dont usually eat a ton of calories like that unless what i'm eating is fantastically delicious.

cuppa


Hello bird-dogs..
Has all your snow melted yet?
A rainy day here in Frisco, and BFF Rich laid down some mean rainy day gtr trax. Very crunchy. And speaking of gtr tracks, have u seen this? The guy's fingering may or may not be what Bruce actually used;usually Bruce's left hand looks weird because he has developed his own way of playing chords using some strange mathematical formula that came to him one night on the spaceship.

hello spring, goodbye lux


Hello.
BFF Rich became interested in family trees lately, and learned that people's lives r often summed up in one sentence. If that's true, Lux's sentence would have 2 b something like "He gave everything he had."
On a more cheerful note, Dean and Britta's 13 Most Beautiful etc. was/is a dynamite way 2 spend an evening. I wont say anything more than that, because in case u havent seen it yet, i dont want 2 spoil it 4u;there r some great surprises. One of these surprises is so funny, i had 2 stifle a bigg guffaw. Why couldnt i LOL? Because the venue was classy, folks wasnt drinkin' and druggin' and smokin'and jokin'. We were all seated in posh red velvet theater seats, acting like, ahem, well-behaved adults. Dont let THAT scare u away tho! So i didnt want 2 b the only one actin' a fool, afraid i might b a distraction. It was a real treat 2 hear britta's voice treated so professionally; the acoustics in the theater r world-class. And Dean's set-up sounded so great!He was a little nervous at first. I like when he sounds that way at the beginning, it's cute. So anyway, you MUST see this show. It's, well, never mind what it is, go see it, i aint telling u any more than that.
D & B came to Sausalito and hung out with us on the houseboat the next day, then we had dinner at FISH. For once i didnt take any pix. I thought about taking some, but then thought (if u can call what i do "thinking") jeez, cant ppl just hang out and b 2gether without seeing it as content for blogging for god's sake? As u can guess, they both looked smashing in jeans and black leather jackets, and B wore a cute black hat. So there's your picture.
They gave us a copy of the book. Thanks kids!

hair

Hello.
Got a really cute haircut at Caledonia Street Barbers in Sausalito. The shop is old-school, with a red and white barber pole out front, and no website. The customer ahead of me, Terry, a cello player, was excited because she is playing Madison Square Garden for the first time later this month in the Van Morrison band.
Debbie, the gal who cut my hair told me that when she was growing up she had a horse named Big Bob and she rode him alot and would even go camping with him, staying out overnight. Then when she started dating, her dad told her she had to give up either the horse, or boys, and Debbie told her dad "I'm gonna miss Ol' Bob."
Going out now to see Dean and Britta perform their 13 MOST BEAUTIFUL etc. at the Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina in sam framcisco.

dock posies



Hello. Still on the houseboat.The sunlight on the houseboat docks is i cant even think of a word 2 describe
its beauty-essness. These 2 pix u r looking at r untouched/unretouched.
Oh yeah, then there was the incident of the brown 24" rubber lizard in front of our gate today except i thought it was real and stood there frozen, hoping for one of the neighbors 2 pass by and deal with it. I kept thinking Isnt that the kind of thing that bit sharon stone's ex-husband, phil bronstein? And wasnt that a life-threatening event? Even one of the dock cats didnt know what 2 make of it. Finally a neighbor, jim, or was it mike, came by and i asked him 2 look at it. He kicked it a little and that's when i saw that it was made of rubber. Who put it there? I had been gone only 5 minutes, and it was NOT there when i left.
Tune in tomorrow for more on THE CASE OF THE RUBBER IGUANA.
