Under a Sheltering Sky

Friday, June 7th, 2002

Slogging forward with the band and hoping our album doesn’t end up featured on VinylCheese.com (Or maybe hoping it does…).

Picture of the book The Sheltering sky

I finished reading “The Sheltering Sky” by Paul Bowles. An amazing book I heartily recommend. Interestingly, part of it served as a basis for the Police’s song “Tea in the Sahara”. There was also an attempt to make a movie from it, but I can’t imagine it was any good. “The Sheltering Sky” is an introspective work who’s real meaning lies somewhere in the periphery of its character’s actions. Merely laying them all out on a movie screen would seem a blunt attempt to reach the book’s core.

Okay, times a wastin’. There’s much to do this day – starting with taking my allergy medicine. I having a really bad time with then damn pollen this year.
