Flim-Flam Flamingo turned to Swanny Swan Swan, pissed. “There’s more,’ you said. ‘Something, beyond this Mt. Olympus party house, beyond the infinity pool edge,’ you said. ‘Let’s float away to destiny…’ Well, Swanny, maybe the pool wasn’t such a bad place!”

Met The Queen tonight at the former Laurel Canyon home of Ursula Andress. She said, “The one in England’s my double for security purposes.” The crazy thing is me & her Highness are the only cut outs in the photo. // 📷: @catmthomas

LA’s polychrome spiritual superficiality creates everyday paradoxes. Star maps don’t chart the sky. Freeways offer surge-priced fast lanes. Warnings come with smiles. The absurd is deep, yet blithe.

Xclnt today to meet @tzaddi53 in the wilds of Eaton Canyon. The spiral serves warning of the rattlesnake who lives under the rock. Rumor is the snake drew it first, and said, “I’m only warning you thissss oncssse.” So Richard now refreshes the symbol after rainstorms.

The Canyon house rental came with a boom mic stand in a closet-less second bedroom, disguised as a wardrobe rack. Apologies, all overnight guests, for all your clothes with fold-creases. Hopefully, the new songs are fair trade.

My fav Laurel Canyon 4K loop elevates me to Cole Crest Dr along the ridge, 366m above LA. Today, Catalina Island came into view across Santa Monica Bay as Stereolab’s ‘Transporte Sans Bouger’ shuffled into the mix.

Skywriting tends toward the unironic, since who wants to throw a whole city into existential crisis? Today, tho, random messages of pure love written across the sky leave questions where they once made exclamations. “Measure your heart against this,” they now dare all.

Hermit Herman, pacing, on phone, hangry. “Yeah, you heard the engineer right. 14 sends us to the bottom of the canyon. So, again, 13 pepperoni pieces. 13! Say it!” {pause} “Good. Your money’s in the mailbox. Have your guy slide the pizza extra gentle through the cones…”

Laurel Canyon’s the kind of neighborhood w/ a house wine. This xclnt $10 chard is a sun-drenched picnic w/ John Doe that never runs out of ice. Label band is Three Guys In A Wine Bottle, led by Carlos Guitarlos (l.), guitarist of 80s LA punk legends Top Jimmy & the Rhythm Pigs.

“How’s that evolution thing working out for you,” he sassed through a lizard laughcroak, after a 5.0 earthquake off Santa Cruz sent a quiet ripple through west LA today. “Wish we could hang, but you can’t! Aww.”
