Standing Up Straight

Jeff and holly visit for a two night stay. Lots of playoff football, soup, Indian food, snacks, jokes, etc. Toy Story 3 from Netflix.

More snow and the coldest temps of the season so far expected later this week. Lake effect advisory from Thurs-Fri along with arctic air. It’s been so dark and cloudy during the day, not noticing the sunlight change so much in the morning or the evening this week.

I’m predicting Packers (vs. Bears) and Jets (vs. Steelers) in this year’s Big Game.

Wednesday focused heavily on burning CDs that have been mounting: missed 2010 releases, new, January 2011 releases and some loose ends in general. Cleaned up Superlongevity Five (and burned on three unmixed CDs in vinyl running order), Ielasi Stunts.

Other focus musically this week has been on Students of Decay (Ryonkt), Opitope, Asuna, Senufo Editions, Spekk, Chihei Hatakeyama, Jefre Cantu Ledesma (“Black is the Colour” and the “Within Mirrors” DVD), the latter still available from Mimaroglu. Might have to bite on that and the new Gregg Kowalsky on Senufo Editions when Keith gets it in (or, if, hopefully).
