Making hot fudge brownie come out of LA Michael's friend's nose. Late night bowling and breakfast. A crack of dawn birthday celebration. A table full of friends roasting my friend, David, before he left for Scotland. Talking Douglas Coupland with a marine in Twenty-Nine Palms, California. And tonight diagramming musical tastes on a napkin with Marianna. Dennys is a magical place.
a non-michael graves tea kettle,
two pairs of work-out shorts,
one white t-shirt,
bright purple sheets,
a stove-top spoon,
one can of fix-a-flat,
two 400 picture photo albums,
four bags of red vine liquorice ropes
