I used to love holiday weekends in Los Angeles, because everyone just leaves...back to the midwest, back to Manhattan, back to oblivion...just leaves....and the city becomes, if only for an instant, habitable again....

I always wanted to vacation in Nebraska....
my theory is that Nebraska is the center of the Universe....I have proof--you meet a fair number of people who came from Nebraska, but nobody
who's going to Nebraska....

entropy, entropy, why didn't they write a Schoolhouse Rock song about entropy?

Nebraska has filtered to my little shindig tonight, just for the record.

Also, if I had even the slightest hint of rhythm, I would be first in line to write the Entropy Song. Instead, I will just sit here and shake my head.

Many times I passed through Nebraska on my way west from Illinois. It was never the center of anything that I can remember. Just more flatness.

and in the center of everything one finds....

just more flatness, all right.

I like the idea of writing a song about entropy--
It should start with a Bach-like structure, then
then get less and less structured until it's nothing
but white noise, like a radio that's not tuned to
a station.

Now that would be fun. I liked the Sparks song "Simple Ballet", which starts as a vocal and piano piece and then evolves into a sturm and drang orchestra as the lyrics explain how the "simple ballet" got a bit out of hand.
