Atmospherics by Tom Robinson and Peter Gabriel
----------------------------------------------
Leave the bureau in the snow,
Catch a tram to Uncle Po,
Early evening, ring around the moon.
Slip in by the concierge,
By the bikes, head up the stairs,
Snap the latch and creep into the room.
Throw off your coat, pick up the Post, put a coffee on.
Lie down on the bed, lay back your head, smoke a cigarette,
And listen to the radio!
In the city late tonight,
Double feature, black and white,
'Bitter tears' and 'Taxi to the clove'.
Find a bar, avoid a fight,
Show your papers, be polite,
Walking home with nowhere else to go.
You throw off your coat, pick up my note, put another coffee on.
Lie down on the bed, lay back your head, smoke another cigarette,
And listen to the radio!
Atmospherics after dark,
Noise and voices from the past,
Across the dial from Moscow to Cologne,
Interference in the night,
Thousand miles on either side,
Stations fading into the unknown.
So throw off your coat, butter some toast, put another coffee on.
We'll lie down on the bed, lay back our heads, smoke another cigarette,
And listen to the radio,
All night long!

"Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and
finds himself no wiser than before, he is full of murderous resentment of
people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way."

Well, I survived the Alpha Phi Omega National Convention. Sort of. It
was traumatic at times but also most cool at other times.
And, I just (finally) made plane ticket reservations. Here are my travel
plans for this upcoming month:
January 1-7: still in Boston.
January 8-21: home in San Francisco.
January 22-24: visiting my sister at UCLA.
January 25-31: back in Boston.
I was going to go to USENIX, in San Diego, but I've changed my mind.
That would make the last couple of weeks really hectic traveling,
Registration Day is awfully early this term {grumble}, and
spare-time-wise it would be a problem. There were some cool sounding
talks, and I was going to finally break down and learn Perl at Tom
Christiansen's one-day tutorial, but maybe next time....
If there is anything really important (like small furry land fish
medical emergency, for example), my sister's phone number at UCLA is
(310) 824-7927. Otherwise, consult ~/.standard.contact.info.
--------------------------------
One way or another, though, I'll get net access while I am in San
Francisco, whether that means spending $3.60 in round-trip BART fare
plus $1.70 for bus fare to get to UC Berkeley, or borrowing a modem and
finding a dial-up BBS with telnet access, or going to my high school
which is now pingable on the Internet, or....
