Is there any more uncomfortable place in the world to have mosquito bites than on the soles of your feet?

I had a marathon session last night of putting music into my ipod and today Shuffle has been particularly kind to me and the world seems brighter in my eyes.

You know that you're feeling conflicted or confused when Tori Amos lyrics start making sense.

All night I dreamt of work, which is a bad sign. It's a wonderful place, in spite of the best efforts of the owner, a petulant, inexperienced, drunken woman and her daughter, a passive-agressive, careless, drunken chef. Why are so many jobs enjoyable in spite of and not because of the bosses? Although, on further reflection, it's only every job I've had here in New Orleans. Most of the managers in Starbucks were not very good, every manager at Commander's except Stan and Bruce was a moron, Doug is his own mystery and now this. If you ever want to talk about why this city gets nothing done, I could tell you.

What do you think of Montreal? Can you see me there?

The thing which is most desired never appears.
