9/11 miniseries

Re concerns that ABC's 9/11 miniseries is inaccurate - former Secretary of State Albright has described scenes as "false and defamatory" - I offer this song:

Well they can change my name or they can leave it
They can change my story too
Or they can make me black or Chinese
And do things that I never do
They're gonna give my life a whole new ending
And put me in prime time first-run
And when it's over, what I did there will be what I done

Well now, it's one two three you take the money
Yeah it's as easy as A B C
Yeah they're gonna make a TV movie out of me
- Bruce Springsteen, "TV Movie"

There's some song clips available too...

2. My car - closing in on 5 years of reliable transportation at ~40 mpg.
3. Watching a ferry cross Elliott Bay at sunset.
4. Inhaling warm salt air as I'm walking along the bay.
5. Peppermint mochas.
6. skydancer, for Tuesday.
7. jw1776, for making dinner. Again. Yum.
8. ...and for letting me put my cold feet on him. Still.
9. ...and other things, but I'm not going into them all here...
