All the signs were there…fallible fashion sense, poor ergonomics, antiquated technology…someone stop me!
I love all the influences in this photo. There’s a better one somewhere, but it’s somewhere. Actually, I guess that was current technology, but I was thinking about in comparison to our early-adopter usage of Mac computers at the same time. And then there’s the Bag Lady connection
I do rather like to write on the floor; it’s great to spread your papers out on! This is the precursor to me and the laptop, cranking out the school work like, well, a machine!! Sorry, the wordage is escaping me, my brain is being zapped. Forbotten. I just posted to the class discussion board with the subject line “Dr. Feel Good” - some things just cannot be resisted!
And I betcha can’t resist listening to a bit of Amplified Mixtape tonight either right?! Streamed here, right here, 10pm to midnight PST.

When it flows, it flows. I love nights like this. Lack of sleep can put me in the zone for a short period or render me a stuttering idiot. Tonight I could carry a conversation, relay some information, work and add to the sketch of a set list and have it feel smooooooth. Even a request that worked!
The air quality was immensely better in the studio valley; I could see the stars! Got a lot of calls, all very nice and interesting. The young Bambis were out en force. One was already dead in the middle of my lane, unavoidable, and sent a shiver up my spine when I heard contact with the underside of my vehicle. Lots of bats out, quite a few cats, and what definitely looked like a midget ninja walking the side of the road. Still unsure on the last one.
