So let's deal with what's right in front of us.
Carrying an awkward watercolour across town, unable to choose between holding the image outward for everyone to see, or inward for everyone to guess at, his cowboy boots clack, their soles beginning to freeze in the air. He dreams he's a southern belle, having just lost her one and only man, and now wears a long black veil for reasons of her own, and reasons not hers at all. His days are numbered, he's not a permanent resident here, anyone can see that. [Buy]

Posted by Dan at July 27, 2006 3:21 AMYour review of the Carlos piece is the most brilliant review ever written by a person. I WILL be reading it every day and night from now on until I'm at least thirty-five. That said, did you make a spelling error? Got yer back, Jones.

Posted by Dave at July 28, 2006 2:56 PMDan, although I hate music, I like the image of carrying an awkward cooler because that's the kind of challenge I live with on a weekly basis.
