Going into hibernation until January - happy December everyone!

Mono and Heather, I received both your zines last week and I really enjoyed reading them, merci beaucoup. I've got things to mail to you but it might take me a little longer than I'd like.

In a few days I'll be leaving the neighbourhood in which I've lived as long as I've lived in Montreal. Blah, blah, blah, I'm sad about leaving (but curious about the other side of the mountain).

MUSIC!
For You:

At about 3:45, way too close to Leonard Cohen's four in the morning, I started screaming inside my head: WHAT WAS IT? WAS IT THE TEA? THE FUCKING TEA?

Yesterday at work, motivated by girldetective's recommendation, I picked up Kazuo Ishiguro's newest novel Never Let Me Go and, umm, didn't let it go until my shift was over (sorry! couldn't resist). In fact I stayed ten minutes longer than I needed to because I didn't want to quit reading. Please check it out, you will NOT be disappointed. It's a woman's ( Read more... )
