i've been having a bad, bad day . . . . .

. . . which i'll tell you about when i have more time. (and no, it doesn't involve parking tickets.)

while i'm posting, though, i should note that i failed to credit the songwriters in my last post . . . the song i quoted is by Karin Bergquist of Over the Rhine, one of my favorite bands of all time. my song-of-the-week is another of theirs:

walking out in the freezing rain

feeling nothing cause i've numbed the pain

i'm looking forward to looking back on this day--

since i'm stuck here for now, though, here's a bit of happy news: it appears that some studio PTBs have worked out their differences, and we may finally get to see an impressive Dragon on the big screen. which (assuming everything else is right) would make me exceedingly happy.

i'll try to post a longer post soon--one with actual news-in-the-life-of-me, and without Over the Rhine songs. until then, as Garrison Keillor says: be well, do good work, and stay in touch.
