it's comin' right at us

this mx80 tshirt is so cool!

Found at Etsy. Yeah sure, it's an infringement, but I want one!   This item is NOT an infringement. Find it and other licensed MX merch at Cafe Press.
Not to early to shop for back-to-school items, innit?

Nothing about Mother's Day here. Well, one thing: "Mother's half a word." Someone said that to me when i was quite young, i didnt get it for years. I was so square as a kid. And a tattletale. What a wicked combination. I shoulda been a cop.

Paul Dodd takes perfect pictures, with just the right amounts of foreground and background.  To see his pics in their complete format, go here and click his images.
When i'm out with my camera i try to imitate that foreground/background thing but never get it quite right.
This is a huge dog.
No tour or shows or anything...2 busy wishing i hadnt gone to that 2girls1cup site.

here's where i turn left

i dont know...just where i'm going

Gots me a brand new main man, stormchaser Howie Bluestein. He spends alot of time on the road, hoping for a storm to turn into a tornado. He's tracking the storm with all this tech gear, but even so, sometimes he ends up driving around somewhat aimlessly.
So what's he doing here at NON TOUR DIARY? Because while he's driving around looking for tornadoes, he does a feeble and totally endearing Lou Reed impression, reciting (u cant really call it "singing") these lyrics:

        "I dont know
         Just where I'm going
         But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if i can
        'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man"

 Gosh, I coulda cried with both my eyes.  I love u Howie Bluestein.

r.i.p. vidal sassoon

ACC sported one of the first Sassoon cuts done stateside. After the cut I went around the corner to a Paraphernalia shop and bought a paper dress. As i was trying it on in the dressing room a photographer laid down on the floor on his back and held his camera underneath the half-door to take some shots of me. Hey, it was the 60s, it didnt seem like a big deal at all, it was kinda cool. Here's a paper dress for Pinky.
U did good, Vidal.
