Interesting and educational film

We just finished watching Ushpizin, an Israeli film that is set during Succoth. It was interesting, and I learned a lot about the holiday and Jewish culture by watching the film. As is a personal tradition, we ordered in pizza for dinner. It was from a place called Pisanio's in East Dearborn. It was really good -- much better than the typical $5 Little Ceaser pizzas that I get.
Anyway, I am just listening to some music and relaxing. I have a lot on my mind, and know that I will not be able to sleep until I take some time to think things through.
Right now I am listening to the Magnetic Fields "I Don't Believe In the Sun"

They say there's a sun in the sky
They say there's a sun in the sky
but me, I can't imagine why
There might have been one
before you were gone
but now all I see is the night, so
I don't believe in the sun
How could it shine down on everyone
and never shine on me
How could there be
such cruelty.
The only sun I ever knew
was the beautiful one that was you
Since you went away
it's nighttime all day
and it's usually raining too
The only stars there really are
were shining in your eyes
There is no sun except the one
that never shone on other guys
The moon to whom the poets croon
has given up and died
Astronomy will have to be revised

I have always found Stephin Merrit to be quite a prolific songwriter, and sometimes his music just fits my mood. Until tomorrow.
