RUDE AWAKENING: I usually spend my "writing" days holed up at one of a half-dozen area Starbucks, my ears cloaked in Bose noise-cancelling headphones set to play "white noise" over and over. Only this morning...I forgot to put the noise on repeat...so when the fuzz track came to an end my iTunes library skipped right down to "White Noise," an over-the-top punk track by Stiff Little Fingers. Felt like somebody had dipped my sack in a coffee pot...zoiks!
