A few weeks ago I got the best back-handed compliment ever. I was meeting up with my friends Mike and Traci to see “Control” and I was looking a bit scruffy - I hadn’t shaved for a few days and was wearing a fitted baseball cap that didn’t fit well any more.

Upon seeing me my friend Mike said I looked like ” a writer on strike.”

It was the best back-handed compliment since some girls said I was very “Peter Sellers-y.”

Also, I won tickets to see Richard Hawley at the Troubadour this morning on KCRW. Should be a fun time.
