A splendid day North Coast day-tripping through Guerneville, Goat Rock Beach and the venerable Nick’s Cove.

~stumble over tombstone shoes~

Friday, December 30th, 2011

A club full of senior punk rockers (including those on stage), my Euro honey having heard not a prior note of my Hollywood teen soundtrack, the white-haired man to my right singing all the Exene parts–pitch-perfect, and me digging the layers of time and guitar, admittedly a tiny bit teary-eyed. X! X! X!
The next day [...]

~a christmas miracle~

Monday, December 26th, 2011

The grill sizzled, the papel picado fluttered, the mariachi strummed and the stage was set for a Christmas miracle. In truth, today we had hoped to go to La Taqueria, but found them closed for the holidays. Perhaps it was fate that led us to Taqueria Cancún, who can say?

~another flashing chance at bliss~

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

It was a long bus ride to Venice High from Hollywood. My mother made me take a summer school typing class though it wasn’t required and I wouldn’t get credit. I retaliated by learning as little as I could: I still look at the keys when I type. What I remember is the voice of [...]

Opening night of the Year of Glitter:
rockin the pumpkin fairy dress sent by mom ~
being carded while buying prosecco (on 42nd birthday, I mean, please, but also: thanks!) ~
