My first mistake was driving in the rain.

The second was stopping at Borders for no good reason. Bought the latest from Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, and Tom Waits. If there was a new Jeff Buckley I would've grabbed that too. But, well... he's dead.

I could've done without "Dear Heather", but when it comes to L. Cohen, I'm a sentimental fool. So if you're not familiar with his work just grab The Essential Leonard Cohen. I was sold the first time I heard "Suzanne", a goner when I heard "Take This Longing".

So now I'm forbidden from any and all book or music store purchases for another two paydays, that includes Amazon.com.
