the dancer disappeared

Had a dream i was with Dean Wareham in the wings at a Dean Wareham or Luna show and we
were side-by-side jumping up and down to the music,  arms linked. "Wha?" u may be asking. (Or not. -Ed.) "If Dean was on stage performing how could he also have been with u on the side of the stage?"  But in the dream i didnt question the situation. I was having so much fun.
As it turns out, the "Dean" i was with wasnt Dean at all, but someone who looked slightly like him. Ever so slightly. Ok, just barely.  I felt like such a fool when others realized that my misperception had been so complete.  Later i looked for the guy but couldnt find him.
And then ACC woke up.

my red joystick

Hello hello hello. Finally finished listening to the Joe Eszterhas book. 28 hours! He's pretty crazy alright. Or was anyway. Health issues forced him to clean up. When he lived in Cali he made fun of ppl who ate healthy foods, now he's a juice-aholic instead of an alcoholic. He also hated that in Cali u really cant smoke in public places, later he went on a campaign for Hollywood to stop filming actors smoking.
Next up in ACC's listening library is The Kid Stays in the Picture by Robert Evans. Turns out most industry ppl love, or at least are fond of Bob, which is not the case for Eisner, Ovitz, the Weinsteins, etc.  Bob narrates his book. I listened to a preview, sounds like his false teeth are loose or something. Kind of shoddy production which is weird, considering he's such a stickler for production details. Hey what's this? Better put it in my que too.
Very very windy in the Bay Area since May, ol' ACC apparently has developed an allergy to all the pollen and dust being blown all over the place, resulting in coughing spasms that sound like a dog barking.
OK gotta go, it's dinner time then a bike ride.  See u next Wednesday.

the face u make when...

Hello!
One day late on promised once-a-week post, so sue me i cant remember every little thing. U know when u hear someone say something and u never 4get it? There was a wacky couple in our neighborhood, they walked around drinking these colorful super-sized radioactive-looking drinks in plastic bottles, pretty disfunctional to say the least, and they would argue and scream at each other, with her walking behind him yelling at him in front and him yelling at her behind him. Once we heard her yell up ahead "So sue me i cant remember every little thing!"
Had a more than wonderful trip to the beach in Pt. Reyes with loved ones, it was a sparkling sparkling sparkling sparkling day.
Still no tour or shows or anything...2busy googling myself. Ah jeez, 'Twee Wave'?   and while it's hot, just $40!

a week of wednesdays

My old neighbor Mrs Doyle (r.i.p.) used to say, "I'm havin' a week of Wednesdays." No matter how i tried to convince her and logic her out of it, she truly couldnt believe that every day had not been Wednesday.
Anyway, Wednesday is my new publish day,  once a week.   And sorry about not being around here much.  Dont want o disappoint my reader,  i mean readers.
Been pretty active on instagram (@angelcorpuschristi) if u feel like killing time there.
See u next week. x0x

Say hello to Howard Thompson. Today is his birthday.  And we love him.
Many more solar returns HT!

existential lover

Ready to get your laugh on?  Click here, see yellow highlight on right side of page. Now that's just plain funny am i right? R used to write fake press releases for MX, this one really kills it. If memory serves, most ppl took them seriously, which was even funnier. This one found its way into Spin magazine courtesy of Glenn O'Brien who was a huge MX fan, labeling them "either the heaviest art metal, or the artiest heavy metal" band.
And speaking of R, i love his voice, always have. And speaking of love, today is our wedding anniversary,way up in the high numbers.  Anniversary pizza comin' up!

dude where's my blog?

my other car is an accordion

Hello, i love u.

i'm not gonna crack

Flashback Friday to that time when R was practically unrecognizeable.
Still no tour or shows or anything...2busy looking for earplugs.

let's make up and be friendly

Hey my shizznits is mobile-friendly now ya'll.
Biked into Mill Valley. Locked the bike in Old Mill Park behind the library then walked up the Dipsea steps to Edgewood Drive.  Looked wistfully at the house on a steep hillside that A&R lived in from 2000-2002.  When we lived there, we had a blow-up of a Bobby Neel Adams self-portrait tinted hot pink on an outside wall that looked kinda cool to come across in the redwoods.
Still no tour or shows or anything...2busy growing my hair out.

in the merry merry month of May

Well I'ma post this pic now bc i may not ever find it again on May 27th when i'll need it to announce a certain wedding anniversary.  True i couldve put it in draft mode but then that would slip to the bottom of the page, out of sight.
Started a new audiobook on public shaming, but still no tour or shows or anything...2busy taking a break.

just checking

A neighbor's fancy new kayak looked like it had become unhooked, possibly heading out toward the open water so i walked onto their ramp to check on it. Nope, everything OK. Do i still know how to party OR WHAT.

ask not

According to the audiobook THE GOOD SON JFK JR. etc,  Ari Onassis was bisexual and enjoyed dressing in drag with full make-up.
Somehow i just cant quite...
Still no tour or shows or anything...too busy gaining weight.

40/10.5

Current audiobook is super-enjoyable, although sad of course.  Here's a startling visual: Jackie and Marlon Brando hooked up if u know what i'm sayin', and she was "with" Bobby Kennedy for about 3 years.  She kept 40 pairs of identical white pants in her various closets.  Her shoe size was ten and-a-half.
So, still no tour or shows or anything...waiting for a delivery from Jeff Bezos.

Back at Ocean Beach yesterday. Windy!  Still no tour or shows or anything...2busy keeping it real.

love is so much better in the a.m. speshally when u groovin' with the f.m.

I grew up with my lil transistor radio under my pillow at night and in a shirt pocket during the day, even sneaking it into school which was against the rules. At recess periods, instead of socializing with the other kids, i would walk around alone with the radio up to my ear. i LOVED that little radio.
All of this is coming back to me while i listen to, and thoroughly enjoy, Joe Cipriano's book about his radio dj days. Alot of radio station call letters go whizzing by in the book, and some of them were favorites of mine.  Joe mentions alot of dj personalities. When he mentioned the name Pete Flanders, whoa i remembered going on some dates with Pete when he worked at a station in the Flint area. He would give me shout-outs and dedicate songs to me and that was always exciting, hearing your name on the radio like that.
So i'm highly recommending this book.  Really good production value.
Still no tour or shows or anything...2busy watching Madmen.
