12/11/2007: "Thanks, I Guess . . ."

music: Sam Cooke. Everybody needs to listen to him.
mood: while I'm thinking about it.

A few weeks ago I got the best back-handed compliment ever. I was meeting up with my friends Mike and Traci to see "Control" and I was looking a bit scruffy - I hadn't shaved for a few days and was wearing a fitted baseball cap that didn't fit well any more.

Upon seeing me my friend Mike said I looked like " a writer on strike."

It was the best back-handed compliment since some girls said I was very "Peter Sellers-y."


Also, I won tickets to see Richard Hawley at the Troubadour this morning on KCRW. Should be a fun time.
