A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

@trouble: Toothpaste theme, eh? Late Sunday night, Philo comes from the bathroom and tells me to see what's happened. The upper sink area is covered in toothpaste foam the color of your playlist archives! Somehow the canister cap wedged against its push-down top and emptied the entire contents. |

We have those silly "family" stickers on the West Coast, too. Out here (SoCal), they're often turtles or surfboards in place of stick figures. I did see one with zombies once, who appear to have eaten a stick family. | |
