overheard a man checking out at the grocery store say he was "transfixed by the cakes" in the bakery section. i feel like that's a word i don't hear often and it made me laugh. sort of a powerful word to me and definitely better than "the cakes looked so good"... what are other kind of similar words..? what powerful words should we be using more...? or maybe this is a normal word you like to use on the regular and i'm easily amused!!

it’s just the best complimentary adjective?
the sound of the word perfectly embodies the sentiment and if someone were to call me effervescent i would simply keel over

you probably know them already. i am from the home of Minutemen, beautiful sunny San Pedro, the port of LA and let me tell you... pedro does extreme pride really well and that is especially true when it comes to this band (and in this case the pride is absolutely warranted). george hurley built a fence behind my driveway for us. i played bass in his drum room when i was like 11 lol. yes i am flexing these things because it's awesome and he's an extremely kind man. mike watt is around town sometimes and he comes off as very unapproachable and cranky which is also awesome and funny. ultimately he is also nice though.
there are still lots of blue-collar middle-aged (to quite old) people in rock bands in pedro going really hard. one of the biggest blessings of my life is having grown up here (despite the town's issues and generally freakish nature) because of the music scene and support from older musicians. minutemen are our (humble) stars, and i'm grateful for them, and i'm grateful for the many rock/punk/jazz/blues/noise/freaky sound art people in my town.
"A Wailing Of A Town: An Oral History of Early San Pedro Punk And More 1977-1985" is a great book, i was super pumped when it came out and everyone who was around at the time had things to say about it/things to expand on.
i have love for this place but i still am dying to move away. btw. don't get it twisted... i am getting out of town or i die.
