Green Recliner

Friday, Apr. 18, 2008 - 12:26 a.m.

I'm back in my green recliner again.

John is sitting here next to me, rendered utterly silent as he listens to his magickal new doohickey, an iPod Shuffle.

---

Here is the playlist I installed on my Shuffle for the flight back to San Francisco: (Song -- Artist)

In A Big Country -- Big Country
Canned Heat -- Jamiroquai
Awake The Giant -- Gowan
Agolo -- Angelique Kidjo
Im Nin'alu -- Ofra Haza
Major Tom -- Peter Schilling
Falling Slowly -- From "Once"
No One Is To Blame -- Howard Jones
Drift Away -- Dobie Grey
Freedom -- Erasure
Life In One Day -- Howard Jones
Ceremony -- New Order
Tenderness -- General Public

Now, mind you, I'm no deejay; I have no conception of what belongs in any given order.

I just wanted to have these particular songs rolling around in my head when I flew.

I think I probably had a reason for each of them, but as at the end of every journey, the details are already becoming a little soft around the edges.

But then again, maybe that's as it should be, because when that happens, I am compelled to make yet another trip.

Gee, it was sure nice to be away from San Francisco during all of the hoo hah earlier in the month -- and to find out that in some areas of the media, we're quite the laughing stock.

The rest of my eye-opening experiences were far less mortifying than tuning in to any ten minutes of LA talk radio.

Sigh.

I'm writing my entry during a rerun of the South Park episode where everybody loses their Internet and suffer from withdrawl symptoms.

There was a line in there about using the laptop and watching tv at the same time and not paying attention to either of them.

Or something.

Anyway, there. I'm back in San Francisco. As ever, my love and thanks to Old Buddy Dave who is always a tolerant and wonderful host.

Extra thanks to Scott Hysmith for making some space for a visit as well.

That's it! Have a nice Friday.
