Damn. I just lost my ride back from the airport. Anyone in the vicinity of Burbank Friday at nine PM? Pick me up! Thanks, Mandy!

Montezuma, NM

March 29, 2006 – 9:31 pm

This is Dorothy Keightley. She gave birth first to my dad, then to his three brothers and two sisters. She lives in Montezuma, which is a few miles north of Las Vegas, which is about sixty miles east of Santa Fe. She’s the one I always brag about to others over drinks at parties and [...]

Tortillas

March 29, 2006 – 8:12 am

If you’re ever in doubt as to whether you’re in New Mexico or not, just check the local grocery store shelves. The tortillas are all locally made, with the exception of a teeny tiny stack of one particular Texas Brand. Choices are good.

This is in a Lowe’s market in Las Vegas, New Mexico. My brother [...]

Back to Santa Fe

March 28, 2006 – 7:33 am

On Sunday I leave Joy and Denver behind and head back down to Santa Fe. This is the playlist for the drive:

William Orbit: Hello Waveforms (mellow, contemplative, somewhat depressing, which is appropriate for one leaving Joy behind.)
Dane Cook: Harmful If Swallowed (a bit of sparkly comedy to make me giggle.)
Earlimart: Treble and Tremble (one of [...]

Balloon Man

March 27, 2006 – 8:19 pm

One more photo from Boulder. This guy’s making fun balloon animals. He has just asked the girl what she wants. I don’t know what she answers. But I would have asked him to make me Ebola.

Boulder

March 27, 2006 – 8:13 pm

Joy and I spend a fine weekend together in Denver. You can’t tell how much fun we’re having by our expressions in the photo below, which is actually taken on Saturday’s jaunt to Boulder. You’ll just have to take my word for it.

Odd thing: seconds after this photo is taken, a pigeon falls from the [...]

Nuevo Mexico

March 24, 2006 – 11:21 am

In need of a break, I’ve taken a week off work and hopped on a plane to New Mexico. I grew up here, so it’s sort of a homecoming for me. At the same time, my parents have sold their San Luis Obispo house and are exactly in the middle of a move back. My [...]

Laundromat Blues

March 3, 2006 – 9:14 pm

My good friend, Dara, sent me an old news article I dreamed up six years ago. I’d forgotten all about it. Since I happen to be doing laundry, I thought I’d post it.

Once again, Will Keightley has won the coveted Guy Whom You’d Most Likely Want to Do Your Delicate Laundry award. [...]

Bubblegum Alley

December 23, 2005 – 2:13 pm

I’m spending a couple days in San Luis Obispo before returning to LA for Christmastime pandemonium at work. On a walk downtown this morning, I finally got a chance to take some pics of the wonderful walls of Bubblegum Alley.
Enjoy. And for more pics (not to mention larger ones) I posted a mini-set over at [...]
