putin mugs make happy

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2014.07.08

I bought some his-and-hers coffee mugs with images of Vladimir Putin for my brother and his wife. Hers says "I wish husband was like Putin". He tells me, "She takes a sip of coffee and looks at my sidelong." Perfect!

Three good things that happened today:

  1. Nearly finished with my dissertation

  2. Avoided the torrential rainstorms that plagued the area today, and cycled home in fine weather

  3. The burger I ate for lunch was damn near perfect

rand()m quote

For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little -- a movie song here or a TV ad there.
