I enjoy the band Beirut. Stacy and I watched a movie last night. It was called the Terminal. It had tom hanks as a eastern european guy. "Victor" was stuck in the JFK terminal because his home country was at war and his visa was no longer valid. The events were totally implausible, Victor became fluent in english at light speed, the accents were dodgy, but it was pretty good. Victor was interested in a shameful lady who had consorts in the various cities that she traveled to as a flight attendant. Victor and this lady never did anything shameful nor did they get together, much to our delight. The movie must have been made a little while ago because everyone had pagers. 

Anyway, I am trying to learn to live the best I can instead of just scraping by or doing just what is needed. It sure is interesting.

In our garage there is this old heater that runs on kerosene. It looks kind of like a jet engine. It is very loud. 

It seems to me that very few people have regard for their hearing. A lot of people wear sunglasses when things are too bright. But I notice only a few who cover their ears at loud noises. I've worked in factories where the volume is very loud, there are free ear plugs and I am the only one I see wearing them. I think that it is because sunglasses are cool and ear plugs aren't. Some one needs to come out with a hot and hip line of ear plugs, rhinestone covered, flame covered, fake gold, skulls. The earplug could be attached to a little hand and this little hand would stick out of your ear. 

no one cares about cool when everyone's poor.
