Back To Normal

This has been a hell of a week. I haven’t posted since I got back to Hollywoodland. This is because I work 56 hours in a five day period. Five days at Amoeba. Three days at Argentum. Things are pretty normal now. Here are some pictures to prove it (since I don’t have the energy […]

The Return

If this is the top post when you’re reading this, I’m probably on a plane to L.A.

New Mexico Post Script

I’m on my way back today folks. So hide the silverware and all that. It’s been the longest week I’ve had in some time. It’s the key to eternal life, I think. Keeping busy. Don’t slow down. Avoid ruts. You’ll live three or four lifetimes. This is the sky from the driveway of my parents’ […]

Burbank To Hollywood

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

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

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 […]

Back to Santa Fe

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 […]

Balloon Man

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

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 […]

Nuevo Mexico

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

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. AP—Camarillo, California, Feb 2000 Once again, Will Keightley has won the coveted Guy Whom You’d Most Likely Want to Do Your Delicate […]

Thursday Night

Jules is my friend.

Bubblegum Alley

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 […]

Yellow

Today is my Sunday. I’ve been taking it very easy today. There’s a possibility I may be going to see Morcheeba tonight. But then maybe not. It depends on whether Morin got tickets for the show, and then on whether she calls me or not. In the mean time, I’m chilling, writing, drinking a little […]

Walking Up Vine

I’m walking from Argentum to Amoeba, switching jobs mid-day (Eleanor Ave to Vine to Sunset to Ivar.) Since I’m rarely without my camera, and today is so beautiful, I decide to snap photos of whatever I deceree photo-worthy along the way. There’s a gate on the West side of the street. It’s usually closed. Today […]
