I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I haven't posted because I truly have nothing interesting to say.  I'm pretty much doing what every student does at this time of year...studying, showing up at stuff I'm supposed to show up to, and flipping out.  Oh and eating alot of junk.  I'm actually trying to put off my preliminary exams to February and September (Instead of December and April).

For my study break for the month, I went to the BioMed Ball.  I dug the music selection, but did not dig the warm beer.



CD Girls...Alma, Me, Anna, Kirsten



Me, Anna...I look so tired!

I got 4 new Christmas CDs...
Elton John's Christmas Party - only 2 actual Elton John songs, the rest are his "favorites."  It's surprisingly good.  The Band, Rufus Wainwright, Jimmy Buffett.
Sarah McLaughlin - Wintersong - I don't like Sarah McLaughlin usually, but I like this CD.  It has the obligatory cover of Joni Mitchell's "River," which is actually pretty good.
Emmylou Harris - Light in the Stable
Christmas on the Mountain (Bluegrass Christmas - Del McCoury, Mac Wiseman, Tim O'Brien)

I haven't listened to the last 2 yet, because well, I can't study to music with words.  But I grew up with the Emmylou record (it's the same, just a rerelease on CD), so I'm sure I'll dig it.

Alright, off to the library to write/read about Nationalism and Liszt.
