Over and out.

good mexican food & snow
I must be home. Last night I had delicious Mexican food. You can't get that everywhere and I've pretty much given up on the existence of good Mexican food in the Eug. sigh
Oh, it is also snowing. I'm sure it will switch to rain by noon, but for now it is enough.

brick walls
I must confess, I too share KFR's desire to lay on the floor. If I had a turntable I'd involve that in the process as well. Making CDs will have to suffice. Perhaps I'll skip out on the 2 hour marathon potluck at work... but can one then skip out totally? Go have your own nice lunch? It will be Tuesday after all... I could have tacos.... and we all know that alliteration was invented for both tacos and Tuesdays.
In other news, I'm currently engaged in shrinking approximately 5 albums down to my own version of a greatest hits. But this greatest hits list I'm crafting is not the greatest hits album released by the artist. Perhaps it's better to think of it as a Starter Kit. You have to be careful when introducing someone to music. It can't be too earnest. You've got to pepper the mix with some earnest, but don't go overboard. Other issues to take into consideration center on growth and experimentation. You try to show the transition from one form to another if possible, demonstrate that growth and experimentation while maintaining your high standards. But does the Starter Kit work best as a chronological piece? Perhaps group things thematically? Does that first song grab the listener but leave the really good stuff for later? You don't want to go for broke on the first song, after all. Oy.
Maybe I should combine parts 1 and 2 of this post and rent High Fidelity.

a visit
V. is in town visiting, taking care of business, etc. with the fabulous Miss S. Ahem, quote of the morning from S., directed at me: "You mean you're not MARRIED!!??"
Perhaps I should get S. and my grandma together... During my first year of graduate school my grandma did basically ask me if I enrolled in the program to find a husband. No grandma. I did not enroll in the program to find a husband. But thank you for the gentle reminder of the vastly different worlds we come from and the (somewhat limited) progress we've made.
