Long since time to shutter up the place

There's No Place Like Home
In The Long Ago I decided I'd split my eventual Lost mix into two, one disc for the first three seasons and another for the final three. What I didn't know then was that the final season would bring so much music of such high quality, including a highly involved finale score that drew together nearly every theme from the entire series, that Varèse ( Read more... ) -

Things That Made Me Happy These Last Two Weeks, Weeks 186 & 187
Last weekend Vonda and I resurrected our Wardrobe Upgrade Tour; while the first tour last spring left me in good stead all summer, this time we needed to find me some warmer clothes. I also wanted something I could more reasonably wear to work than the casual clothes I got in June. (Typically nobody cares about how we're dressed and people wear all ( Read more... ) -
Things That Made Me Happy Last Week, Week One-Hundred-Eighty-Five
- I've been living in this house for six years. This morning, for the first time in that span, I was finally able to take a shower in my own home without making it rain in my kitchen. While I'll not be visiting my mom every other day to use her shower, this way is far more convenient.
