continued sojourns
My hand froze into place on the walk up to St. Mary's today. I was carrying hot tea for the darling Alex, who was quite surprised by said heated drink (which, thanks to the spiffy thermos cup, was still warm when I arrived)...thankfully, I know how to unfreeze hands/fingers when they get like that. I suppose it is one of those skills you just learn when you spend a lot of your time walking in cold climates. I'm listening to Deine Lakaien and Die Neue Philharmonie Frankfurt. The combination is wonderful, and I am excited about starting work so that I can theoretically afford the whole album. I'm old and still think in terms of albums. I also realized I have a record collection the other day. Not a very big one, granted, but all things that I really, really like. I realize a machine a hell of a lot smaller than an LP can fit thousands of times more music than a record...but there is something about vinyl which is just wonderful--and that goes for pleather too. Yes, I'll stand up and defend all kinds of vinyl. I'm listening to a lot of Sisters of Mercy, because it is that kind of night and I just need to let Andrew Eldritch's awesome vocals pour from the speakers.
That's all the news for today.
Tah.
