Wee! I saw the Spider-man movie today. It was fun. Some of the swinging around on spider webs was awesome. I could take more of that. I'll probably see it one more time in the theater, even. We'll see.

Found some old CD's recently. The song "Would You Harbor Me?" by Sweet Honey In The Rock is awesome. Let me see if I can grab some of the lyrics here. (I didn't find the liner notes with the words.)

Would you harbor me?
Would I harbor you?
Would you harbor a Christian, a Muslim, a Jew
A heritic, convict or spy?
Would you harbor a runaway woman or child?
A poet, a prophet, a king?
Would you harbor an exile or a refugee?
A person living with AIDS?
Would you harbor a Tubman, a Garret, a Truth
A fugitive or a slave?
Would you harbor a Haitian, Korean or Czech
A lesbian or a gay?

That's about it. Just a bunch of soul-searching questions in six-part chant harmony. Now that's music.

Books: Put the short story in the mail today. Also talked with an editor who is a friend of mine. He says his interns are addicted to the slush pile (the unsolicited manuscripts that come through the mail) because they're all so darn funny. Well, maybe my little manuscript will provide some editorial interns some lafs.
