This just in!
As if I hadn't already gushed enough about the coolness that is my mother, here is the article (and in particular the excerpt in which I with a capital ME am referenced).

Thank you Friday, for finally showing me your face (so to speak)...cliched as this may be...I thought you would never arrive. I have to fire someone too. Fucking yay me. Some days I hate being in management, I end up being the very thing I spent most of my life ridiculing and rejecting. But anyway, that is the clever dichotomy of life isn't it? When...

Ah, the years of sitting with pen and paper, wherever we were, and taking stock of humanity... Sometimes I miss those days.
I don't envy you the task at hand today. I hope it goes as well as possible and leaves your spirit in tact. Wouldn't it be lovely if you could just pop over after work and shoot the shit over a beer and a shot (or several)? It is Friday, after all....
I can't help but wonder if our paths ever crossed in LA. I was only there for a year: May 1988 to June 1989. But I was peripherally involved in the Music biz, in that I worked for a big record store, dealt with vendors/labels, and got to go to a lot of free shows....

Lol... dude, I was a total nobody and I really have no names to drop, other than my opinion of the famous peeps who shopped in our store... But it occurred to me that we were running the same 'hoods at approximately the same time. I'm sure we slid past each other at the Formosa, or the the Cat n Fiddle or the Whisky, or somewhere.... Maybe people watching on Venice Beach....
My girl sent me this today. As you may or may not have heard she has left me for a month to visit her Californialand family. The funny part about it is she calls me literally every two hours when she leaves so I talk to her more when she is away than when she is here. You would think she was 5. But she...

shooting in the opposite direction . . . it seems to be the path all adolescents lean towards.
I'm terrified that one day I'll wake up and find Scout the president of her Young Republicans club - - just to spite us.

I will take you up on that chat-o-rama one of these days. Preferably a day when I feel less like killing things than I do today....
Hang in there while your girl is gone to Cali!

I wrote this song once, back when I was like I dunno, 23 maybe? I know I have copies of it, but that bin in the basement is completely out of control what with my pulling random items out of it at will. My friend Blair hated when I would write about myself in the third person ("Believe it or not George isn't at...

Aww laughing-I enjoy that with you very much....
It has been a hell of a week man. I feel like I say that at the end of nearly every week anymore. My grandmother's birthday was on Monday and the phone call with her went...eh...not well. Oh, and I never even told the story about the high school mother fuckers who showed up banging on my front door at 11 pm Friday night looking...

Working from home today while intermittently playing Kinect Adventures with the boy child and Dance Central with the girl child. I am not ashamed to admit that I beat my 14-year-old-hipper-than-me (just ask her) daughter at this:
She neglects to grasp that I took dance all the way through high school and into college even. So crank dat in your pipe and...never mind.

Lol @ the winning.
My mother, who has been a writer for the entirety of my life, a cover-er of the arts in particular, just had the opportunity to interview Ani Di Franco on Saturday. My mom really just reeks of cool. The super coolest. And stay tuned because I had to school her on Gogol Bordello and she is quoting me in her coverage of said stint. Go...

super cool, indeed
A few months ago, my husband sat me down (as he enjoys doing) and said "I just want you to hear this, it has been haunting me for days...it is about you." It just came on Last.FM and reminded me how cool it is that throughout this decade together we still share so much of ourselves through music. It's rad.

This post will not earn me any "Mother of the Year" titles - but I gave up that contest so very long ago (i.e when I told my 4-year-old girl to scream "Fuck them!" at the top of her lungs in the safety of our apartment about these shitty little twats in my shitty little money saturated snotty hometown where she was attending elementary school...

you guys love Paris? i knew there was a good reason we're friends!

really?
Ever the artful dodger
Yeah that's some tough luck
Spiraling down the interlude
Guess too much is not enough
I feel, I fall, I fester in
My own mind's twisted canals
Coz' you know"they" tell you where and when
Sure as hell
Don't tell
You how
I have traveled down the same highways
For years, and miles and memories
Somewhere forgot
In this whole lot...
