Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein

Tonight the boy and I saw The Men Who Stare At Goats, which was adorable. We left the theater to find Austin enveloped in impassable Death Fog, so we stopped at a diner for coffee and pie. And when we walked in, "Werewolves of London" was playing. The real damn song, not that Kid Rock abomination. Reader, I fell to my knees and gave thanks.* "Werewolves of London" in spooky fog with coffee and pie is made of win.

You know what I didn't do today? Work on my book! And that is also made of win.


*Okay, I just sat down in the booth an gave thanks, but I did give thanks rather loudly. I think I scared the waitress.

To be fair, the Kid Rock abomination only uses the piano riff from Werewolves. It's not an actual cover. Which is STILL an abomination, just a different kind.

Glad to hear Goats was good, the trailer made it seem like it might go either way. The source material is golden, though.

And I had no idea that Kid Rock was still making music--what dreadful news. [Edit: that was the first time I actually put quotation marks around the word music but remembered that I wasn't Tipper Gore in time to take them off]

Huzzah for giving your brain a rest from the book! Although of course all too soon the cool towels on the eyes and the pleasant cadence of songbirds outside the infirmary will soon be replaced by the blinding flash of muzzle fire and the drumming of mortars on already-ruptured ears, for now let us ring the bell for a cold glass of water and another pillow.
