Just a short allusion to the fact that I've not being doing much this week except bug my banks and accountant. Money talks, and people listen. I forgot just how much preparation there is involved in travelling. Hopefully I'll have everything ready in a couple of weeks.

- - - Dreams In A Pie - - - 

The story is over
But sometimes it's under
Which makes me just smile and wonder

I float down the river
Of freshly-made hot tea
Till the future is far behind me

Here comes the boy with the butterfly eyes
Who can sing like the birds in the bubble gum trees
I hear him say
That the sun will not rain today

(Chorus): Wide awake
     Wide awake sleeping
     Through the day when the moon is bright
     Dreams in a pie
     Eat up, it's supper time

     Wide awake
     Wide awake sleeping
     Through a land when the day is night
     Dreams in a pie
     Eat up, it's supper time
 ~

I skip down the path
That goes half the way nowhere
To the other side of somewhere

All the clocks tell me
It's quarter to never
Or three minutes past forever

Here comes the boy with the butterfly eyes
Who can sing like the birds in the bubble gum trees
I hear him say
That the sun will not rain today

(repeat chorus)

(edit: that is, of course, the original by Yoko Kanno) 

There was a large thunderstorm all through yesterday evening, so we opened  the curtains and let lightning illuminate the studio.

Of course, after that we went back to our regular Fukasawa stuff (e.g. A Way To Nowhere), but it's always nice to have company when you go off the beaten path.
