///DYLAN, BOB///

Just a few months ago, Benjamin Ruby was complaining about how everyone kept saying he looked like Bob Dylan. Just a few weeks ago, Nathan House showed me Bob Dylan's first book that he had found in a vintage bookstore. Just last week, Mr. Hope was talking to us about Bob Dylan in our American Political & Economical History class.

Just a few more months, Los Angeles will be able to see Bob Dylan live at the Hollywood Palladium this October. Tickets are pre-selling now for $56.50. Or on regular sale for the same price starting 10:00AM August 14th.

[And also, The Mars Volta at the Palladium even sooner on August 30th for $35]

///SPRING F-O-R COFFEE///

Today at the wee little coffee shop [mind you, with hugely positive reviews] down the street, Gerardo offered me a free newspaper that had been deserted on one of the few tables outside. He said it's good to read the newspaper sometimes. I agreed with an exhaling sigh that formed swirling cigarette clouds. As he emptied the trash and got ready to leave work, I skimmed a few headlines and read one article in full.

- Teen apparel: the worst performing sector this month. July sales: Ross went up and Abercrombie went down down downnn. I never liked the smell of that place anyway.

- Fresno recalls 800,000 pounds of beef linking it to salmonella. Thank goodness I've recently become somewhat vegetarian.

- The recession will teach not only adults and teens about that horrid thing called money, but kiddies as well.

- Yesterday, the vast thing some refer to as the Twitterverse was paralyzed. I personally didn't notice as I fell into a deep sleep right when I got home from class. There are several speculations.. Some say it was just some kids fucking around, some say it was hired hackers with political motives. First there was cyber sex, now there's cyber war. "They would be like hit men, but with digital packets instead of bullets." Something capable of bringing down such a huge thing as Twitter is a very very capable entity. And here I am, thinking about getting another computer [AKA yet another personal data storage space for some fucker to invade].

I stubbed out my second cigarette as I finished reading that one succinct but somehow effective piece. Cuss words took over my head. A few moments passed and he came back out asking if I was sitting there thinking aloud. I was. Albeit silently.

///LET'S GET LOST///

A black and white film from 1989 by [BRUCE WEBER] about Chet Baker. I admit I don't know much of his music, not much at all. But merely watching the trailer got to me.. And I must know more. [NOTE: watch the official trailer on Weber's website]



And out of the darkness
he saw a man sitting alone
in the backseat of his car.
And the light from the cigarette showed off his cheekbones.
And he'd known that must've been Chet Baker.


...

I got him at the best time in his life.
He was just a kid.
He was twenty-two,
just out of the army.
He hadnt had junk yet.



It's always the drugs isn't it. It shouldn't be.


Well, we've come to that time of the evening
When there's not much time left.
and we'd appreciate it if..
If you could kind of..
Be quiet.
Cos it's that kind of tune.


Almost blue../
Almost doing things we used to do../







Someone please search out a Region 1 DVD copy of this film for me. I will adore you endlessly..
