Not Nick Nolte's Diary, Malibu, California

Hook

Manolo has hijacked the stereo system. Neil Diamond Live has been on for the last three hours. Not that I mind necessarily, but I have heard 'Sweet Caroline' more than once and I know Diamond never doubles up on a night. Even Tito's feathers are ruffled. Or maybe he is enjoying it, I can never tell. That bird has a hell of a poker face. Am I allowed to use the term "ruffled feathers" if it applies literally? It perhaps is bad form. Although I would like the opportunity to use "bee in your bonnet" is such a way. That would be quite a moment. No one would believe it, but I still want the story. Well I am bored I am going to see if Derek wants to play a round of HORSE. Hopefully my hook shot is oiled up as his is doubtlessly rusty. Enjoy the day Diary.
