Happy birthday to
globalesque.
My
2005 almanac is now complete; 4 identical photos from the 1st day of each month. As I suspected, the weather doesn't change much in the Bay Area.
For those of you who have still not responded to Karla's
Best of 2005 CD offer, I have expanded it, with an entire bonus disc (you knew it was coming, Elvis Costello fans) consisting of my picks of the leftovers while still upholding the 1 song per artist per disc rule. Send me your address if you want a copy. Comments will be screened.
