White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

I can’t seem to stop hurting myself- I dislocated my shoulder about 10 times lately, I’ve broken my hand, and now I scraped my knee pretty good while trying to catch Isis. I know it doesn’t sound bad, but you know how scabs on your knee or elbow hurt worse because they have to move [...]

After the downtown dog walk to Nokia/Staples, I was so happy with Isis and the way she behaved.  So last night I took her to the Lofty Dog’s Yappy Hour, and she was a monster.  Damn dog barked at everything that moved- I left after about 5 minutes.  I was so embarrassed!

I just want to give a shout out for a good new CD I have been listening to, Xia Dove’s Intimate.  The artist lives in the same building that I do, and I met her going up the elevator.  I heard her talking in the lobby about music recording, etc. and when we were on [...]
