The start of this week is not going great. My cellphone is permanently lost and I guess that is what I get for drinking too much. I fucked up my laptop for a day or so and it is working fine now, but only with a wireless mouse, its keypad mouse is not working. I probably spilt something on it. The strap on my bag broke and I think I have an ulcer. Other than that everything is wonderful.
"Margery's dreaming of horses, looking at a green sky, sun like a red eye, bright blue horses are the fortune she lives by, she's tired and lonely, scared and depressed, her visions of one day go racing the next....."

I did pick up a couple of books on Monday to fill the void left after I finished Half Of A Yellow Sun. The books are Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures by Vincent Lam and Hotel du Lac by Anita Brookner. I am about a 100 pages into Bloodletting and it is holding my attention rather well, unlike life itself.
Another Horse Dreamer's Blues is such an underrated Counting Crows song from Recovering The Satellites, I wish they would play it live. Check out the clip above to hear the song. The clip below is a companion song to Another Horsedreamer's Blues called Margery Dream's Of Horses, they haven't released a studio version of it and only played it live a few times. I would love a studio version.
"Dust me off and shut me down and dream of where I haven't been, close the door inside my heart, stuck in the south Atlantic wind....."

I should have a million other things to say but I don't feel like it. I haven't written much lately and would rather read what other's have written. It is a lot easier and less emotionally draining.
"Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand, she said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis and she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land, just like she's walking on a wire in the circus...."

Around here it is 15 degrees and the sun is sinking. I have the Blue Jays game on mute, so that I can watch and provide my own colourful commentary. It hasn't been pleasant. Below is my countdown, You Can't Count On Me by Counting Crows remains at #1. Above I couldn't decide which version of their song Round Here I wanted to post, so there are 2, the first one is from Letterman where they followed Madonna's memorable swearing appearance and the second one is from earlier this year. It can only get better. I suppose.
