Summer heat wave LA: time for HOUSES OF THE HOLY album again, debut hearing LANCE LOUD on the radio gushing over the album & teasing a "New David Bowie Album" soon to come. "The Ocean" on this album still compels me to move like a wild rockin' pogo stick.

A ★½ review of Good Will Hunting (1997) Am I supposed to like this film? Because I don't. Not at all. Matt Damon & Ben Affleck are complete bitch-ass assholes in this, SO very macho. First time seeing this overrated piece of crap. Robin Wms...

Ok I don't like this film at all. Maybe it irks me (I'm jealous? disgusted?) that so many just adore this weak sentimentality. I suppose I could've been more kind. Still, it has doughnut-content: empty & high in calories. Pedestrian & maudlin :-)

Cocktail Party circa early 1930s.

I Invented the Cocktail Party. Here's How It All Started. It was my idea to throw a party that took place after work, but before dinner, and to serve alcohol. Only one guest showed up to the first soiree. The second one was much better.

"nightclubs, close-clasped couples swayed to Noel Coward’s dance tunes. What one needs, I said, some kind of party starts 5:30 lasts 90 minutes, alcohol served, not food. in the literary bohemian circle I frequented in London, I gave 1st cocktail party April 1924."
