sitting here working on music in the office of the house i’m renting in l.a and also baffled that the republicans were able to elect a former nude model as senator from massachusets. yup, here’s the new junior republican senator from massachusets:

you’ll notice that he’s naked, republican family values and whatnot.
in other news i’m sitting here while the monsoon (if they call it that here in l.a) is blowing outside. it’s the middle of the day and it’s dark in runyon canyon (where i’m living) and earlier it was hailing and thunderstorming (yes, ‘thunderstorming’ is a word, i just decided). but i have a fire in the fireplace and lou reed’s ‘transformer’ on the stereo for inspiration. i was just working on an acoustic version of ‘when it’s cold i’d like to die’ (in no way related to the fact that it is, by los angeles standards, cold).
in theory i’ll be able to figure out how to record a little video of me sitting at my desk working on it. but in theory there shouldn’t be a former nude model as the current junior republican senator from massachusets. ah, democrats, unmatched in their ability to viciously grab defeat from the jaws of victory.
i can send some pictures of my little work area. that i can do (until i figure out how to send cheap little videos). to state the blindingly obvious: here’s my guitar on a desk…

again with stating the obvious: here’s l.a in the rain:

and here’s my travelling studio. nothing says ‘acoustic’ like pro-tools on a laptop…

ok. back to work in rainy l.a. later i might go hang out with phillip marlowe by an aqueduct.
