This is the image on the cover of “No Less Than Victory” by Jeff Shaara, the book I read last week whilst in the South. Kills me. This was the coolest book on WWII I’ve ever read. This guy manages to avoid the dialogue cliches of the genre but still gets the occaisional macho dramatic scene to really happen. Damn. So good. You really should read this.

I called two different places whose numbers were listed in the paper down here “if you would like to volunteer”.
The first one said they didn’t have anything for me and told me to ask local people if they knew anyone to ask. The second told me that all of the cleanup jobs were paid positions hired by BP and I’d have to apply for one if I wanted to help. Wtf?!!! No wonder there are maybe tens or hundreds of thousands of dying birds/fish/animals etc and maybe tens or dozens of people working to save them.
Anyhoo, they took my info and said if I was interested in helping out around an office they would give me a call. I said “sure, do it”, but its been days and they seem to have blown me off.
Idiots rule.

Welcome to the sunny Gulf Coast. It is about 90 degrees and prolly above that in humidity. I’m gonna call a couple places and see if I can volunteer for some bird-scrubbing.

I was told that this guy is a pulitzer prize winner then told that his dad was. I didn’t bother googlefuckin around about it either way. I had a seven hour flight ahead of me so I went into Powell’s, opened it up and read “to the reader”. Hooked. This guy has a clear and powerful writing “voice”. I’m now about fifty pages in and wouldn’t bother telling you about it if it wasn’t great.
This is apparently The 3rd in a trilogy of WWII novels so I’m entering near the end after Gen. Montgomery had fugged up his idiotic “operation market garden” (see “A Bridge Too Far”) and Gen Courtney Hodges (I just love that name) had taken the town of Aachen The war was at a winter stalemate with all of the Allied Forces waiting for spring to try and take Berlin. Awesome.
Also I like the way this guy uses commas, ands, and run-on sentences. A lot like what I do except that he’s really good at it.

Hey, if you missed this You Who show in Portland, check out this awesome blog about it.
ROCK THE BABY: YOU WHO, DANDY WARHOLS!
When I heard that one of my bestest favoritest bands in the whole wide WORLD would be playing a You Who show — THE DANDY WARHOLS -it was a great reason to hop on the freeway and head down to Portland with the family for the long Memorial Day weekend. I mean, how could I miss a Dandies show played for kids, with the setlist chosen by the young daughter of bandmember Zia McCabe, played in an old converted schoolhouse? Come on! MissSeven is a fan as well; she likes to sing along to “Plan A” and “We Used To Be Friends.”

Hey gang, I was featured last week on this cool site The Same Five Questions. Check it out.
One. Which of the seven deadliest sins make for the best art?
I’m not sure but all the great artists are guilty of at least one as none of the great artists ever seem well balanced.Two. For what are you going to need a little more evidence?
2007Three. For personal creativity (or productivity), are you better served by contentment or restlessness?
Restlessness for sure.
Four. Likeliest occurrence within your lifetime: true peace, total war, or the arrival of spacemen/spacewomen?
I will spend my life striving for inner peace and hopefully be aware of the moments that I achieve it, I can’t imagine total war and I like to believe spacemen and women have been here for quite some time.Five. Select/discuss any one of the following options.
Five-a: You lost it as a child and you want it back.
I really do feel like this a lot. I lived in a fairie land of happiness and contentment until I turned 12 and then it slowly started to chip away to be replaced by restlessness and doubt (though I still consider myself happier than the average human, it’s not the same)Five-b: You are concerned about your food and its origins.
Yes of course, it’s terribly shocking for me to see how many people still just don’t give a damn what they’re eating or where it came from.Five-c: These are your generation’s greatest successes.
Hmm, I think that’s for the next generation to answer.Five-d: For you, this is the book, play, recording, painting, poem, scripture or (item X) that made all the difference.
Oh jeeze, Maxfield Parish, Beatles-White Album, Pink Floyd- Dark Side of the Moon, Willie Nelson-All, Rolling Stones-Through the Past Darkly, Exile on Main St., Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Ray Bradbury, Grabriel Garcia Marquez, LSD, Marijuana, Harold and Maude, Easy Rider
Five-e: Do you have a question for me? (What is it?)
Hmm, I can’t think of anything. I hope your satisfied with my answers.
