49: Complicated Guise

A song about walking that I missed, more bullshit from Silicon Valley, the tragedy of Buca di Beppo, a cross eyed waiter, dreaming with Ryan Reynolds, getting trapped with M. Night Shyamalan, post-vacation depression, a couple of Starmen, the perils of driving a stick shift in San Francisco, changing gears in real life, a made up movie about pinball and love, a couple devastatingly great songs, a satanic seventy-six trombones, and my attempt at an Italian giallo song.
