It's still literally frigid outside. The so-called arctic blast is now more like an arctic extended vacation. So I'm just hanging around the house this weekend with a fire in the fireplace and relaxing. Things I'm loving this weekend include -
* Random blog surfing. Makes me realize that mine isn't all that hot. I'm going to make some changes tomorrow. Pea? You listening? I'll be enlisting you for help :-)
* Making mix CDs. Hey, wasn't I supposed to send a bunch of those out eons ago? Yeah. Well, I suck. Ask nicely and I'll send you one of the great ones I just made. Really. I will! Promise.
* Rediscovering Sam Phillips, female version. Really an underappreciated talent.
* Packing up things to go to the post office. Not limited to packages for some of you and my MP3 player which met an untimely death shortly after the warranty ran out. Sigh...
* Realizing that I have way too many clothes and bagging up a lot of things to donate to charity.
* Reading Nick Hornby's Songbook. I'm going to steal his idea starting next week and put song "essays" up on the Critic blog.
* Going to see "25th Hour." The most fully-realized Spike Lee film (I refuse to say Spike Lee Joint) in a looooong time. Sooner or later Rosario Dawson will be a bonafide star.
* Drinking Jagermeister with a straw. Just seeing if you're still paying attention...

Posted by: pea on January 25, 2003 11:36 PMYou still haven't sent out those CD's? Seriously? I thought I was joking when I said everyone would have to go to Connecticut to get theirs. Little did I know I was right!
