Given the short length of Twitter entries, I’d really like to be able to import them as quotes, rather than as regular text entries. If anyone has figured out a way to do it, I’d love to know.

Sickness (cont.)
And still it goes on. A temperature of 103 last night led to me waking drenched in sweat this morning after a torrid night during which I slept for about three hours. I almost passed out last night too, after I was foolish enough to try eating actual food… The fever seems to have broken now, thank God, although I still feel weak and strange.

Sixty beautiful, restful minutes. Went missing sometime between 2am and 3am this morning. If found, please return to Alex at Feeding The Beast. Small reward for safe return.

Photo Opportunity (Missed)
In Nichol’s restaurant, Marina del Rey; a tall elderly gentleman, probably in his late-eighties and reluctantly walking with a cane, wearing the following: A woolen cap, a grey sportcoat over a pale pink shirt, mustard-yellow corduroy shorts, sneakers and knee length, bright red Adidas athletic socks. Somehow he pulled off this weird ensemble, and looked extremely dapper.
