A collection for today:A bunch of Phoenix remixes. All things We Love You So and Sound Advice 23: We Love You So mixtape. YYY’s tour photos. Premature Evaluation of Julian Casablanca’s Phrazes For The Young. This lovely baby for needs a new home. Sweet songs in quiet neighborhoods. Grab some scissors for cut-outs of parallel lines on pavements. Watch a true woman sing a true song. And a cat!

I have to learn how it is to be alive here all over again. Because I was about get hit hard. A little harder than leaves falling… by some car, which pounds me harder onto the black caves of pavement. But thank goodness. I felt the collision course from a safe-enough distance in the point of view of my head, not physically. Thank fucking god for that… that what may have happened does not yet exist, of anyone falling somewhere. And your message was received, S I G H.

“Thanks a lot. See you later!”
                                    “See YOU later and thank YOU!”

Five elegies, maybe more because one is not enough. Thank you.

Looking at this Old Bike Blog reminds me of my grandfather. Maybe one day, we may open up a little workshop of our own. Phoenix released a Wolfgang Amadeus Remixed album, which you can stream here. They also played a little show live on KCRW – Morning Becomes Eclectic – back in the summertime, which you can also listen to here.

Time to coffee it up, get a little reading done. I have a little adventure today in trying to find a rare poetry collection at a couple of libraries. Sounds like a good autumn thing to do. Maybe the book will be there, maybe the stacks will win or that the loss is better. Maybe a pair of wrinkled hands will assist me or maybe I’ll be lucky enough to catch it right away, but I won’t expect that to happen.

I am having second breakfast thirty-five minutes after midnight. Maybe everything has settled back and I’m making a meal out of it. I began yesterday morning as a building… that collapsed. Concerning myself with the sense of something going and with resistance, I overturned. I’m already late for tomorrow’s appointments, but there’s nothing more to complain. I’ve complained it all, up to its capacity. It’s all in a complaint hearse now, thank you very much. Thank you. You know who you are.
