it snowed today. Boo. But by afternoon it was sunny and the snow was gone. Yay.
I had a terrible headache last night in bed (no, a real headache). Boo. I took Advil and it actually worked. Yay.
I continue to acquire more old music than new, though I’m at least grabbing albums I didn’t own back in the 80s and 90s. Recent purchases range from au fromage to well-regarded classics:
Billy Joel, The Bridge – the beginning of the slide down for Joel creatively, though not his nadir
Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Welcome to the Pleasuredome – cheesy, with weird wide-ranging covers but there’s no denying the irresistible pulse of “Relax” and Holly Johnson lifts every song with his enthusiastic vocals
Crowded House (debut) – pretty pop with just enough smarts to make it more than just pretty pop
Neil Young, Harvest Moon – a gentle, sweet album
I tried and failed to think of any frog-related puns today (there was a reason for this–the puns, not the failure, which was simply lack of imagination on my part)
The Tim Hortons “Roll up to win” contest is on and I’ve won four times. I gave away my two donut wins but kept the coffees (which I will use for tea)
less than two weeks until Daylight Saving Time returns. Yay.
my weight loss for the month will probably be minimal at best and negative at worst. Whoops. But my body fat percentage is down. Yay.
I’m still a bit sore from my outdoor run two days ago. This is mildly embarrassing.
