Then I told her how nice she looked too, she had beautiful two-tone magenta glasses, and a pink-ish jumpsuit with a darker pink shirt peeking out, and a very striking purpley mauve lipstick that was just perfectly lined...a sticky wet-looking matte, like a painting. I thought about asking to take her photo, but for as many times as I've done that in the past, I've gotten more hesitant in recent years. Maybe it's the Age Of The Internet, maybe I'm losing my edge. But of course I later regretted it, so I decided I would draw her. And while this of course is nothing what she looks like, I still have her image in my mind. Thank you random new Pink Lady friend.

My New Random Pink Lady Friend
I've been trying to look "nice" lately — not wearing stretchy pants to work every day, brushing my hair sometimes, remembering to clean the pink dots off my face from my overnight zit medication. So last week, I was coming back from lunch (after scoring a bunch of free perfume samples at Macy's), and a stout glowing Latina woman smiled at me and said, "You look nice!" And I lit up, ran over to her, put my hand on her shoulder and exclaimed, "Oh my god, thank you for saying that, I've really been trying, I appreciate that!"
Then I told her how nice she looked too, she had beautiful two-tone magenta glasses, and a pink-ish jumpsuit with a darker pink shirt peeking out, and a very striking purpley mauve lipstick that was just perfectly lined...a sticky wet-looking matte, like a painting. I thought about asking to take her photo, but for as many times as I've done that in the past, I've gotten more hesitant in recent years. Maybe it's the Age Of The Internet, maybe I'm losing my edge. But of course I later regretted it, so I decided I would draw her. And while this of course is nothing what she looks like, I still have her image in my mind. Thank you random new Pink Lady friend.

Holy Rainbow, Batman!
I was driving in Burbank after a spat of rain, and I saw the most enormous rainbow, it was the most vivid I've ever seen — and it was close, too — seems like it was rooted just a block away.
I said to myself, "Holy rainbow, Batman!" And I swear to God, I shit you not, I then realized the car in front of me had a small Batman sign on its back window. So I think this is a sign of some sort...I think this instance might be luckier than seeing a double rainbow. I think it means that I will soon become a superhero.

Poor Little Leaky Kid Mansion
I was trying to outfox the morning traffic by zig-zagging through side streets, and kind of like Snow White, I happened upon this little cottage. Or more like a dream clubhouse for kids...with a tarp over it. It's been raining Thundercats and dogs in Los Angeles, so I'm assuming they're covering the hole to keep the water out. You can afford a play mansion for the kids, but can't afford to fix a hole in the roof?! Get it together, rich people!
