Birthday no. 03.

THE KINKS. a well respected man.
THE BEATLES. octopus garden.
CLEM SNIDE. messiah complex blues.

It was warm, chasing triple digits. We found no octopusi. But we found a chocolate bagel at Panera Bread Company. Stuck a candle in, times tres, and blew hard.

MANIC STREET PREACHERS. can't take my eyes off of you.
MATES OF STATE. like u crazy.
ERIK SATIE. sur un casque.

Rolled on around the 'Couv, stopped by World Market, where we tried on jewelry and furniture, and Magdelana lost my sunglasses.

Little Man Long was a trooper. Mr. Sleepyhead, I tease him sometimes. He is a good sport. The other night, I woke up, and missed him. So I scooped him off Becca's chest and snuggled with him myself. He will not ever remember that. But I will.

I will also remember this as the day that Lebron James signed with Miami, making their threesome of him, Chris Bosch, and Dwayne Wade the deadliest trio since...the Three Tenors?

NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL. in the aeroplane over the sea.
BRIAN ENO + DAVID BYRNE. life is long.

JEREMY M. LONG. candy lion flowers.
THE WHITE STRIPES. we're going to be friends.
DUKE ELLINGTON. main stem.

It was a warm one. We stayed cool.
