Good evening,
How is everyone?Busy I assume, what with it being that special time of year again,when families get together and we all get that warm feeling in the cockles of our hearts,maybe below the cockles,maybe in the sub-cockle area,maybe in the liver,maybe even in the colon...well...and of course when we throw vicious elbows into each others heads,and gouge eyes when necessary,in our bid to finish the last of our christmas shopping.
I'm alright,working working working as usual. The slaughtered lamb has been decarated,christmas trees erected in all its dark corners,lights strung across the bar,garland wrapped around poles and pillars.It looks nice. I started my music store job and its goin good. I work with some decent people,although really I just met them,they could all be criminals and vagrants for all I really know. But they seem nice. I get to choose the music now and again. Which is always the highlight of my day. I snuck in a little Tom Waits this afternoon and have been playing the arcade fire regularly. I try and play as much Canadian music as possible.Unfortunately the flipside to that coin is that I have to endure a lot of girls aloud and james blunt and will young and it makes me want to slam my thumb in a door just to take away the pain.
I also realized I forgot my charlie brown christmas cd at home. The greatest christmas music of all time. I also realized,much to my dismay,that the english don't do egg nogg. What the hell? So I'm going to attempt to make my own without accidentally poisoning myself.
What else? I can't believe Montreals luck!!!???They finally get it together after too many years of mediocre hockey,taking full advantage of the new NHL and the return of skilled hockey, and what happens?They lose Koivu,Kovalev and Bonk to injury. Luckily the Maple Leafs are struggling too,at least I have that to fall back on. I have a good feeling about the canadians now though. Now that their fast,finesse players have the space to move on the ice,I think they'll only get better. Vive les habitants!!!!
Anyway, New years in edinburgh is fast approaching!!!Get in!!!!I have my brand new boogie shoes laced and ready. Can't wait to see everyone again. Its going to beat the snot out of last new years eve,thats for damn sure. Considering I spent it by myself in a security booth in -30 degree weather that wouldn't be very hard.
Well,hope your all doin fine,hopefully I'll talk to you all soon before or on the big day.
Later skaters:)
p.s I finally heard Bjorks album Medula and its oddly brilliant. She never used any instruments. She just had people doin human beat box noises while she sang. Its friggin crazy but beautiful.
C.D of the week: A Charlie Brown Christmas. I can't believe they don't sell it here.
Book of the week: When the women come out by elmore leonard.
Film of the week: The exorcism of emily rose. Creepy and thought provoking,stellar performances by the girl who played emily and Tom Wilkinson as the priest. I love all that good vs evil stuff.
