Fishing for that big blue marlin of a job

Dropped five new lures into the employment ocean today. I've been at the previously-mentioned DTUT cafe, dealing with frequent, frequent WiFi interruptions. I look forward to the day when *the world* is covered with solid WiFi coverage, which may sound to some dystopian, but by *the world* I suppose I mean *wherever I am when I'm applying for work*. I mean, who needs the Internet in the middle of the ocean? Mermaids?

Work on "Safety Culture" proceeds apace. Sam Beam, the too-talented-for-school force behind sad band Iron & Wine, responded to a producer's expressed interest with I believe two, possibly three albums' worth of material. This material became "The Creek Drank the Cradle." Somewhat more well-known an anecdote: Ryan Adams recorded four albums' worth of material after "Gold", shelved most of it, and came out with "Demolition". I don't think that "Food Bed Gospel" and "Safety Culture" are collapsible... although it's good to know that there are other foolhardy over-producers out there, doing alright by their mamas.

There's an open-mike taking shape here, and it proves to be awkward at best. Better split.
