Pecos, TX

So I'm sitting here in the most uncomfortable bed ever at the Motel 6 in Pecos, TX. Interestingly right next door to the Quality Inn we stayed at on the way back from L.A. almost 3 years ago. Surprisingly they even have Wi-Fi in Pecos... but sadly, it may be the only thing they have in Pecos. We enjoyed a... flavorful, meal at the Flying J truck stop, because it's all we could find, and then headed back to the hotel. I bought that fancy Busty Skull Nurse shown in a previous post at the Flying J, what will be the first of many really strange things I find at truckstops on this trip.
I woke up at about 4 this morning and couldn't fall asleep, so I took the time to listen to part of the Juno Soundtrack. Kimya Wilson is incredible. It's so simple and lo-fi, yet so lyrically complicated. Maybe complicated isn't the right word, but it's definitely beautiful and interesting.


I will find my nitch in your car
With my mp3 DVD rumple-packed guitar
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Up up down down left right left right B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you


The above Moldy Peaches lyrics from "Anyone Else But You" are fascinating to me. And they are even better when sung by Ellen Page and Michael Cera. Anyway, it's about time to get back on the road.
