Sunday was pretty much a wash. Mostly loafing, cocktails and napping with a short jaunt to the coffee shop and farmer's market.  Staggered napping didn't work in my favor - I never did get on the loom for fear of waking the daywalker.

something else to hum

[annisa_1380]

My favorite don't-want-to-be-at-work songs are Elvis Costello's Oliver's Army refrain ("...and I would rather be anywhere else but here today...") and Tom Waits' snippet from Cemetery Polka ("...but they're tightwads, and they're cheapskates, and they'll never give a dime to you...")

Glad I don't have to work today. Just an appointment to see about getting my wisdom teeth out, whee.

OOOH. I didn't think about Cemetary Polka. I'd rather sing that that Loverboy any day.

It's a political movie about big oil in the Middle East. From a plot summary:

"A missile disappears in Iran, but the CIA has other problems: the heir to an Emirate gives an oil contract to China, cutting out a US company that promptly fires its immigrant workers and merges with a small firm that has landed a Kazakhstani oil contract. The Department of Justice suspects bribery, and the oil company's law firm finds a scapegoat. The CIA also needs one when its plot to kill the Emir-apparent fails. Agent Bob Barnes, the fall guy, sorts out the double cross. An American economist parlays the death of his son into a contract to advise the sheik the CIA wants dead. The jobless Pakistanis join a fundamentalist group. All roads start and end in the oil fields."
