Today it rained. I like the rain.

My friend Karl in Montreal sent me a CD labeled "KFC Employee Training". That's exactly what it was too. Nice muzak-y intros to the finer points of working at Kentucky Fried Chicken. I now know that while "Original Recipe" must sit for five minutes before being served, "Extra Tasty Crispy" can be served right away! On cleaning : "there's a special reason why we have to have a clean and sanitary store....Bacteria!" My friend is an odd fella, but he knew I would find this intriguing and I love him for it.

Saw "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" the other day..... . I'm sure you've either seen it or heard many a good thing already, and its all true.

got a surprize from my honey
got a message from my girl
when she picked up a pen from beside her bed
and wrote me a scribbled note
said she'd be coming back to see me
that she would be visiting real soon
gonna get up from her long white bed
and leave this cold white room
we would once more live together
go out on a lovin' spree
just like before the accident
my baby would look at me
i saw her sweet face trembling
as she tried to open her eyes
i jumped with the joy of a grateful boy
the day my baby gave me a surprize

DEVO - The Day My Baby Gave Me a Surprise

I loved that song for a long time. Then, something happened and that song would make me terribly depressed every time I listened to it. Its starting to make me happy again.
