out of tune
mojave 3

the lovely beth invited me to go with her to the show at the troubadour and now i am a convert. i bought this cd the next day--many of the songs they sang is on it--and listen to it all the time.

also listening to:
radiohead kid a, abra moore strangest places, pavement crooked rain, crooked rain, pavement brighten the corners, good dog, bad dog over the rhine, liz phair whitechocolatespaceegg, travis the man who, bettie serveert dust bunnies, sarah mclachlan mirrorball, ivy apartment life, six pence none the richer kiss me



down to you
i have a confession to make. (if you don't know this already) i have this weird obsession with teenybopper shows and flicks. i love a good cheesy, sappy movie any day, unfortunately this one pretty much sucked.

fall season TV obsessions:
felicity, dawson's creek, friends, and the real world, of course. ah, cable.



journal of a solitude
may sarton
the journal kept after may sarton's decision at 45 years old to buy a house in a small New Hampshire village and to live and write in it alone. so far, so good. she brings up so many interesting points about being female, a writer and alone.

next on my reading list:
notes from the underground is still sitting patiently on my night table. it's next on my list, i swear it is.



red futon
lea bult

i almost bought this painting. it was hanging on the wall of an unassuming coffeehouse in grand rapids, michigan. i was with shmuel, who did buy two of this bright, talented 19-year-old's paintings. i didn't, though, and now i kind of wish i did.




stereotype t-shirt
by blacklava

i went to college with this guy, ryan, and i must admit, i had no idea he was such a talented and ambitious visionary. his t-shirts are not just cool; they're "clothing for the new state of mind."

other badass t-shirts:
angry little asian girls, generation rice and exploding dog.



panini café
marina del rey
i found a place that serves free coffee refills and plays decent music. it's still smack dab in the center of an annoying stripmall, but it beats the coffee bean & tea leaf and starbucks that are on the other corners.

recent dining discoveries:
fred 62, los feliz
killer shrimp, marina del rey
french market cafe, venice
hide sushi, marina del rey
porch cafe, long beach
