HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JULIA! As I was walking home from the post office an hour ago, I received a phone call from a woman who is helping to make a movie called Lucky Them. They're filming here in Seattle at the Crocodile, where I have a lot of paintings, and they needed to get my permission to have the paintings in their movie. "Who is in the movie?" I asked. "It's directed by Megan Griffiths," she replied. "And features Thomas Haden Church, Allison Janney, and Toni Collette." I stopped dead in my tracks. "TONI COLLETTE!" I exclaimed.

NOVEMBER 16, 2012: Today, while sending packages at the post office, the clerk mentioned to me that she had been to Italy. "I got lost in Venice, it was wonderful," she remarked. I told her that Venice was the first place that I had egg on a pizza. "You don't eat pizza in Italy!" she answered. "That's for Americans!" It seemed like the kind of thing that you should just think and not say. "What did you eat while you were there?" I asked, hoping to figure out what people should eat while in Italy. "Sausage. A lot of sausage," she replied. Regardless, have a look at these photos: Dino Jr. poster stack, Patty on extreme weather, Twinkie the Kid goes to Israel, JAW BUSTERS ARE NOT $.45! Here are some paintings: We Can All Just Get Along, Beware: Electricity, RUN-DMC BW. NOVEMBER 15, 2012: Fascinating things: Old Photos of houses in Cleveland, Ohio, the 2010 HBO documentary Crack House USA. Last night I was thinking about how good of a bass player David WM. Sims is. I found his email address and wrote to him asking if I could do a series of short interviews of the Stranger regarding his everyday activities. This morning, I received his reply: "Hello Derek, Thank you for thinking of me for your project. Over several decades dealing with magazines and periodicals, I have a list of those that are so lame that I can't bring myself to have anything to do with them. Because my standards are pretty low, that list only has one item: the Stranger. Again, thanks for getting in touch. Best regards, David." OH MAN! OUCH! I'm currently listening to Two Nuns and a Pack Mule to reconcile this very terrible situation. UPDATE: The excellent of Shana Cleveland. NOVEMBER
