What made you smile today?

yeah - that's what I was afraid of - having to go through that intermediary storage sight - but I'll try it - I think it's worth it - thanks;

or where do I find this image data sign? (as a possible alternative) is it right here on a2k somewhere?

Give us the url???? For the source, I mean.

http://www.sternfannetwork.com/forum/showt... that's the url - won't show the cartoon, but I'll try copy and pasting - etc. or I'll be talking to my friend later and I'll try to get a direct link

Watching a sixteen stoner in tight black trousers restore her backside to the bar-stool on returning from a visit to the vanity suite.

a dog's cold nose in my eye - she was holding my face in place so that she could clean it - gotta love a thorough dog

going to the baseball game down at the dome with Set tonight - on the way back we met a couple from Myrtle Beach who'd come to the game from Detroit, two Cuban reporters who'd been in the press box and had interesting info to share, and a buncha other interesting people on the streetcar - everyone had something to say about the game.

baseball's interesting. it's one of the only places where I'm much noisier than Set - and I dance for both of us.

Yesterday I was going home on the bus and an acquaintance of mine sat with me. She is older and a librarian. Reminded me a tiny bit of Noddy so I let this woman into my life, but only a little. Because this woman is kinda annoying and will talk your ear off. But it doesn't kill me to be kind and listen for the 25 mins or so we're riding home.

Anyway, she was saying something about the television programs her children watched when they were younger and I said that was after my time.

"Really?" she says.

"Yes." I said. "I was born in '62."

She says, "My, you're remarkably well-preserved."

cicerone imposter claiming that "easier to read and understand" = "better" on the intelligent design thread. Like Tommy the Tank Engine.

I was googling for a thread referencing the words "living upstairs" at a2k

came upon this

not what I was looking for, but definitely smile worthy

I think that was the guy who lived there/had a studio there too, not too long after myself and business ptner #1. That was where I met my later husband..

Or maybe that was a second guy.. aside from (I think) this guy's post on an a2k car thread, the Venice in the Seventies thread, where he also might have posted, shows up every so often.. all those old Canaligators checking it out.


I was pretty perky today when, in an effort to start to arrange stuff for a garage sale, I went through the previously honed boxes of rejected clothes, and decided I could possibly now fit into some I'd rejected. Yep, into a dress I'd saved for years, and had never been able to wear, even the day I got it at the thrift shoppe.
So, lowest weight in ten years. Now trading some of what is in the reject boxes for new rejects....

Have you looked at his Nobody Leaves Venice page?

http://www.virtualvenice.info/nobody/index.htm

No, I haven't..

Oh, good, more fun, thanks for the link. We were sooooooo ahead of the present Venice curve, heh.
Well, never mind, it was good before the McMansions in the canals, well, and the.. and the...

Now I'll read the link and reread all that other posting. Maybe not tonight, I still have to make dinner.



Signed,
I didn't leave Venice until 1999..

Before I look at the link, I'll say there was one fellow that I emailed back and forth with who had lived in the same place. Might be the guy with the link. Nice person, not to use the word nice.

and I hated the changes in the walk streets - which a pal and I had taken hundreds of photos of.. for a photo essay/urban design commentary that we never did do up, since I moved in a period of stress plus some twiddling re our writing. (I still have all the photos, and maybe our starter essays). I need to call her anyway...

Okay, okay, becoming quiet.

ossoB's making me smile

Looked at it, not sure it's the guy I'm talking about, at all... in fact near sure not..

but I treasure it already for a couple of links.


Thanks for the fun.

Me too!

Buncha wannabees and late suzies, male or female, on that list, she sniffs.. of the Writers come to Visit sort.

Which reminds me, re a key NYer article on med marijuana in CA something like six or eight weeks ago, very interesting article, Dr. Kush the name of it. I swear I just about know the building Kush works out of (I think I put a flyer there to get people to come to neighborhood stuff on potential zoning regs). But, never mind. That's all blue potatoes in Venice.

Yelps, Moe's there!

and I'm near positive I know Helen Garber, who - if I'm right - had a good, even very good, early (re the seventies) gallery on W. Washington.
Thanks, ehBeth.

I've never been there - and I'm having a ton of fun browsing around in there.
