city of the fallen angels

do you recognize this scottie? i forgot the cord for the camera so i used one of your images from san diego?

a fallen angel.

the traffic sounds like the ocean.

i like the feeling of being one tiny star in the galaxy tonight.
i like my mother-in-law and i like that we have taken this
little trip together.
we were remembering the last trip we took together by train from Pusan to Seoul when i bought a goofy bird painting and she bought a carved “mangy” scene which she still puts under her Christmas tree each year.

off to la for fun and drawing at the Getty with my mother-in-law. feels a little bit like wandering into the scary woods for me as i don’t know la and neither does she. we plan a trip to the Huntington Library and Gardens and i have already scoped out all the local thai massage places. now i must find a vietnamese sandwich joint…

stay tuned.

stay tuned.

we train with slogans at our house. currently this one is very helpful. it reminds me that life is sweet and life is ugly and neither one is absolute or eternal. the wheel turns.

this one is also good to keep in mind.

sometimes no matter how much you want to save someone, you just can’t.

i’ve been watching old movies lately.
first one: The Bad Seed a (1956) horror/thriller which i thought was brilliant and creepy.

then we watched The Night of The Hunter (1955) with Robert Mitchum, also creepy. favorite scene: with Mitchum and Lillian Gish singing Leaning on Jesus.

then i watched The Sandpiper (1965) with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. oh boy!
talk about creepy. but it was all filmed in Big Sur and that “little shack on the beach” Burton refers to in the movie is probably a couple three million dollars.

and i’ve been watching Art 21 a PBS series on art that makes me seriously question the sanity of most of those artists and convinced me that jeff koons is a big fat weeinie.

all those things and a visit to my daughter today are making life seem a little surreal.

sometimes even with a map you still can’t figure where you are.

i’m having one of those days so i’ve decided to just follow the scent of cooking bacon and by that i mean i’m headed to the cookie crock to get some because i’ve had the smell of bacon in my nose all morning.

if i start smelling burning feathers i’ll start to worry.
