November 23, 2011 The Blizzard begins
Today was the first snow – or rather, we woke up to snow, enormous quantities of it, half melted by late afternoon and then frozen into darkness once again. I didn’t even have to look out my window. First, I saw it on twitter. Then, the cat refused to move from the bathroom radiator. It was impossible to ignore the signs.
What I’m listening to: Here’s a wonderful skit by David Sedaris and Jonathan Goldstein as feuding astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, on Wiretap.
In the last Week’s End, we used some disco funk from Ottawa band The Glass Chain, to extraordinary success and lots of dancing in the studio. Here’s their song Bad Teenagers – they’ll also be playing next week at Lansdowne for the architecture school’s yearly party (formerly Kosmic – now Milieu.)
What I’m reading: Camilla Gibb’s latest novel, The Beauty of Humanity Movement, set in Vietnam. I loved Sweetness in the Belly, one of her older novels – and I think I convinced my grandmother to suggest it to her book club. The only problem is after a while, I just put the book down and go for pho.
