Going to San Francisco for a week. Not taking a computer. I'll have my phone so I can do email or AIM in order to make contact etc.

Because I am in the coils of COBRA, and this has not yet started up, my medical coverage is in a very high-rent limbo. In order to get my prescriptions refilled this month I have to pay cash. I take four head pills long-term. Can you guess what the total bill per month is for these four, cash over the counter, no insurance?

Right after I saw Bob yesterday, he was pedaling home when accosted by Costa Mesa's finest.

Picture Bob in a big straw hat, reflective bright yellow vest, riding a bike, towing a trailer on which there is a blue dog who is barking happily.

The cops decided he was the one who had just robbed a bank. Bob's description of the event is below:
Uttered by a blue dog on a trailer and overheard by a passerby...In front of the trailered dog lay sprawled at gunpoint his unphased owner,muttering some bile ladden filth and saying things like "What the fuck" etc. long story short the dog confessed and both parties were released .....fuck me! what is it?break out the Kool Aid and jam for the fucking bridge??!! beyond Keystone we need pictures of me in bike outfit/bank robbery getaway outfit! later
Some days I can't get enough of my town.

It appears the Playboy bloggers may have screwed up their investigation badly.

Whether or not their basic premise is correct, they clearly made some bad mistakes and implied things they shouldn't have. Failure of journalism, especially fact checking.

Elvis Costello. Promo 12" released at the same time as King of America. "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" recorded live at the Heartbreak in NY.

I lost the actual vinyl during the Great Failure of the 1990s.

Has anyone ripped this to mp3? I think it was also released on some crazy-ass 11 CD collection of rarities, and maybe to part of a singles collection, but I can't find it anywhere.

Thanks to the efforts of the beautiful and talented [livejournal.com profile] mcbrennan this has been located. For now it can be found at my Tumblr. Go Cait!

Also: going through the discography looking for it reminds me how much he declined as an artist after the 80s. Oh well.

Everyone I know who has tried this program loves it. It is small and free. It adjusts your computer's display so that it's not blasting your eyes at night. When you try it, things will look a little weird at first. Then, you'll turn it off after a while and scream OH GOD NO and turn it back on, because you got used to having relaxed and happy eyes while computing in the evening.

There's a linux version now as well.
