I tried going to the Santa Monica public library to write because I needed to check out some books anyway and I thought it would be a nice change of pace from Coffee Shop Land. "What's wrong with embracing a public institution?!" I thought. "Do we all have to be snooty little coffee shop dwellers?"

However, the Homeless Lady asking for change put the first crimp in my idealized plans for the perfect Library Writing Day. The other problem with the library, I found, is that you don't have Journey and Aerosmith playing in the background...

So, I drove myself back to Coffee Shop Land with all the Screenwriters and Snooty Coffee Shop Dwellers at the twilight hour of emptiness (5:00 pm...coffee shop chill time). However, for some reason I've been flogged with the worst of the 80's (no, I don't think Journey and Aerosmith were the worst of the 80's...is that a problem?!), Pat Benatar's "Treat Me Right," and, yes, Starship's "We Built This City On Rock And Roll"...

...am I being punished for not giving the Homeless Lady my change?

Just for today, I can write to 80's music.
