Nothing like starting the day with a nice cup of Star Bucks Gold Coast and "Ironhead" by Helmet. I'm serious.

Not sure about going to Judo tonight, dang it, since my toe hurts like it does. Can't bend it without wanting to holler. Taping it up helps me walk, but I don't know how much tumbling I could do. Maybe I can get a good tape job on it, tell the instructor what I'm dealing with and manage to get through 90 minutes of class tonight. The jury is still out.

The video store says my DVD of Big Bad Love is in; maybe I'll go get it tonight. Listened to the soundtrack yesterday (thanks again to Toland), and what the heck, now I'm reading the book again. Another Bullshit Night in Suck City by Nick Flynn was pretty flippin' good, though once in a while the poetic conceit got a little too arty for me to understand just what the heck Flynn was doing. Still, gripping, chilling stuff. There but for the grace of God go any of us...

Can't find my copy of Larry Brown's On Fire... did I lend it to someone? Toland? Dad?

Still watching Dog the Bounty Hunter on A&E when I can. Since it's set in Hawaii and all it's now got the attention of my Hawaiian buddy Erik Hood. He text messaged me last night: "o bra, you like da kine dog? good show. love it." Nodding like I know what the hell he just said...

Will be posting another Gulf Coast Boy installment today. Happy windy Wednesday, ya'll.

***I want to read this. Think it's up my alley? And let me know how Big Bad Love (the movie) is.

***Not I. Got my own copy. Good luck.

Not sure if you'd like the book. It's not exactly a standard "drugs destroy my (or my family's) life" memoir. His father clearly had mental issues from the start. Combine them with a head injury, a con-artist streak, and copious amounts of vodka... well, you can imagine. Soon (I swear) I'll send you some stuff, like Jobriath and the Jerry Stahl book. If you want, I'll throw this in too.

***Yes, please. With a title like that, how can I resist? No hurry.
