BIG TOWN
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
I discovered a big town
On the quest of a way
Throwing money at strangers
Taking candy from babes
Shaking hands with the big talk
As the rain came down
I thought it would not end
Sending letters to Paris
From the Empire State
Taking pictures from the top
There's a lot of things for you to do
There's a lot of dreams that won't come true
I grew up in a big town
The lessons were not hard to learn
If you want them to love you
Then you must not love them in return
Spent the night at a party
Where I drank so much
I fell under your spell
Eight o'clock in the morning
And the daylight makes me
Look and feel like hell
There's a lot of things for you to do
There's a lot of dreams that won't come true
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry

Subject: Lunchtime humor
Went to lunch with a friend today to a new chicken place. We asked how
they prepare their chickens.
The answer was, "We just tell them they're going to die."

To work to create both personal peace and greater peace in the
new year.
To survive.
To accept and tolerate what I do not understand, and work to
appreciate it.

eichin (Mark W. Eichin):
>> This involves a number of little things which I
>> will write in here (against my better judgement) as I accomplish them.
As threatened, err, I mean promised...
1) Cleaned my apartment. It's now fit for guests, perhaps even a
repeat house-warming party some time soon.
2) Emptied most of the boxes in my playroom. (This is major - some of
those boxes were packed when I left MIT in January 89 - 3 years later,
I'm finally going through them.)
3) I've started cooking for myself, beginning with a large ziti
casserole made entirely for the purpose of having leftovers for lunch.
