Nice Cool Thinking
3:37 PM, It’s a sweaty Thursday afternoon. Outside, the strong wind is pouring through the trees. Making them hiss and bend.
I’ve been getting a lot done today. Hopefully, I’ve ironed-out most of the bugs in Tangerine’s new design. Do you like it? I feel that it has been a bit too dark in the past. It was time for a more colorful aspect.
I’m ready for the weekend. It’s supposed to be bright and warm, a mixture I’m all for. I’m not sure what will be going on Friday evening but, on Saturday, I’ll be going to the Jimmy Buffett concert with a large group of friends. I’m not an expert on Buffett music but the parking lot party is always fun. I’m looking forward to a good time.
I’m also looking forward to updating this journal a bit more often. (Though I’ve made that statement before, I know.) Anyway, the heat has me thinking of a nice cool shower — so that’s where I’m headed now.
After that, I’m going to pour myself into the evening and relax…with words and music.

What Words? What Music?
Well, since you asked…
The music is Depeche Mode (two songs, especially: “In Your Room” and “Only When I Lose Myself”).
And the words are those of K. W. Jeter — contained within his excellent novel, Noir (ISBN 0-553-57638-0).
