Another thing....

is I'm supposed to buy an air conditioner today. this after those 2 1/2 years in taiwan where the collective pollution of motorcycles and scooters and fermented tofu joined with subtropical temperatures and people with their a/c units ramming hot air into the overheated streets made me vow to break out the electric fans and the water spritzers and ice packs or simply to sweat it out silly before i'd mount an air conditioner in any room window of mine....but two years later, trying to find scraps of inspiration in the boiler room that triples as bedroom/our practice space, the decision has been made by joint committee. So the personal morality gives way to necessity and what to do but break a few promises in this lifetime. Maybe a new convenant whereby in exchange for not having to suffer and sweat so much while making music, we'll turn the thing on only when absolutely necessary and maybe start bringing our own silverware to picnics.
