Paying for another Late Night

iPod morning commute music: Lucinda Williams, Lucinda Williams (1988)
Car Wheels on a Gravel Road was the first Lucinda disc to cross my path. I quickly went to her back catalogue for more. This was her second album, her first coming in 1980 (we can be grateful that she's recording more frequently these days). Full of cool songs, including Passionate Kisses (which was covered by Mary Chapin Carpenter), this is great country rock.

Last night's movie, Atomic Cafe, was at times funny, at other times moving. It is amazing how our government lied to us about nuclear weapons. The idea that children could survive an attack through "Duck and Cover" is funny and sad at the same time.

Before the film, I checked out a new music shop in Umeda for my son, and the new Tower Records in the same building. Ended up buy a 3-disc compilation of Django Reinhardt and the latest Uncut magazine because my friend Ian got a letter to the editor published in it. Well done, Ian.

After getting home I found I had to call my co-author of the TOEIC book we're writing to finalize some first draft changes. An hour and a half later we were finished, 11:30, after which I had some wine. Overslept this morning, woke with a headache, and have been paying the price for yesterday's folly. Oh, well, at least managed a shower, got to school on time and had decent lessons.
