…. to make it a good day.
\nLike, having central heating that works, indoor plumbing, hot water, reliable electricity, fast internet.
\nOkay, these are not LITTLE things, as we are reminded in the news reports from Baghdad.<\/p>

\nWhat prompts this post, though, is the happy experience of doing a dump run with practically NO ONE else around.
\nSounds stupid, doesn’t it?
\nGiven that the Transfer Station was closed for most of this week following the record snowfall (was it only last Sunday\/Monday?), I figured for sure it’d be a mob scene today, worse than the weekend after Christmas. It wasn’t. Peter and I were able to unload a pile of recycleables and a week’s worth of trash without any delays.
\nYeah, that made it a pretty good day. But not as good as a beachfront cabana in Tahiti – C’MON.
\nSpeaking of things exotic, I happened to catch the 2002 film “Unfaithful” on TV with a gorgeous cast (Diane Lane, Richard Gere, Olivier Martinez<\/a>), gorgeous backgrounds (Soho and an estate in White Plains, NY) and an even more gorgeous soundtrack.
\nFor unimaginable reasons, the movie’s own website doesn’t provide music credits, but a couple of fans did so on Amazon.
\nSo, here’s a few more CD’s with featured cuts to add to the desert island list:
\nAli Farka Toure – Talking Timbuktu<\/i> – “Ai Du”
\nDead Can Dance – Spiritchaser<\/i> – “Devorzhum” and “Dedicace Outo”
\nE.S. Posthumus – Unearthed<\/i> – “Nara” (available either on their website<\/a> AND on iTunes)
\nMoby – Play<\/i> – “Rushing”
\nBy the way, “Nara” is the theme for the TV show “Cold Case”. And, proof of versatility, E.S. Posthumus also wrote the theme for “The NFL on CBS”.
\nThere, after 14 months of blogging, I’ve FINALLY posted a snippet of music trivia…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
