I went out into the atmospheric river storm. Right now it’s just gray, chilly and drizzly, what Mama used to call “dreary.”

Healthy Choice Creamy Spinach Linguine is not the worst food ever. Just no taste.

Touring two of those apartments and I can probably land the cheaper one, but utilities aren’t included and there’s nothing in that neighborhood but a McDonald’s, a 7-11 and a taco restaurant. The taco restaurant is attractive, I give them that. But no supermarkets? It’s a wasteland, so it’s cheap.

Hey, you know Warrant, the Warren-type horror magazines that are super old school? They just picked up a national distribution deal so B&W horror is returning to the shelves.

Flood warning cancelled on schedule at 12 noon. Watch and advisory remain in effect. Sensible because it’s going to rain off and on, mostly on until Tuesday.

It seems to be traveling northwest which means maximum dumpage.

Rain over Southern California.

No joke. A lot of rain is passing through.

10:00am, 2 more hours of this flash flood warning. So far the only damage visible from here is an overturned flower pot. Now watch me spend the next week in a Red Cross shelter.

If the Pinheads wanted to be in the high school talent show, perhaps they should have chosen a song with a more traditional structure. It’s not often a rock song begins in mid-solo.

I don’t know if a flash flood could reach this far but we’ll find out!

Flood warning until noon for practically everywhere in Los Angeles, including North Hollywood. I think we’ll be okay, but this is going to be one of those days.

Found an apartment in NoHo that’s 1) under my rent budget, 2) includes all utilities, 3) is about whew I want to be for my job, 4) I think offers a 6-month lease. I’d prefer to move into in January but if I have to I believe I should move on it ASAP. Wish me luck!

Norman Rockwell painting, depicting little Roby Bridges being escorted into a school by Feds. Racial slurs are pained on the wall behind here. A thrown tomato lies on the ground.

65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

One day he will be gone and some people are going to find out the hard way what the German high command found out in 1946.

You don’t hitch your wagon to Trump. You drop your drawers and bend over.

The endorsement doesn’t even matter to his cult. They love him and only think of you at best, and in passing. It’s worthless outside of about 500,000 people out of 300,000,000 and all you have to give up in return is… everything.

When he finally goes, his movement goes with him. And all his damage will be undone and be forgotten, and all you got was a kick in the teeth and a ruined career. His endorsement? His support? That just means you take the fall. Or he pushes you. Into the sewer.

What does it mean if Trump rescinds his support? He never lifts a finger to actually do work and help you. He might tweet your name. That’s all. It’s the emptiest least meaningful endorsement ever. He never even thinks of you and you get nothing from him. Oh no, a mean nickname from a pedophile!

She’d be awesome in any bridge role.

Post your favourite Star Trek character(s). Wrong answers only.

Well, that’s a great suggestion. I’m going to do exactly that today. Thanks!

Not a fan of colorists putting all those little yellow highlights on Spider-Man’s mask. They make it look like he’s crafted it out of vinyl and the webbing is stitching. They’re too visually busy, make it look puffy. Shouldn’t it be just a mask on his face, not quilted like a ski coat?

25mg of spironolactone a day: no discernible change in pattern.

Note to HR people: Don’t start your emails with “Thank you for applying!” punctuated with that exclamation point, because it makes the applicant think you’re really excited they applied, so much so you can’t wait to interview them. The next sentence is a always a double bummer after that opening.

Anyway, thanks for putting up with me! You’re all good eggs!

I’m not fishing for followers because 1) quality beats quantity and 2) I don’t get paid for being this cool, but I do enjoy being just 46 away from an even 2000.

I’d rather get paid, but it’s too late for that.

Gino’s East - LA, voted the Southland’s best pizza in the LA Times for two years in a row, is not all that far from where I’m staying. Let’s just say I’m intrigued.

Of course my idea of a great idea goes something like, “I want to recreate the Runaways sound in such exacting detail you think you’re listening to some lost recordings, but it’s a totally new song and band, not a hoax.”

And then I realize like only 3 other people on earth and I want that.
