Interesting Notes

1) There was a guy playing "Blowin' In the Wind" on HARMONICA on the bus today. It was awesome. I don't know if it beats the guy singing "Sunday Morning Coming Down," but it's definitely a close second. 2) You know how when you learn something new, it just keeps popping up over and over again? I learned the word obstreperous and then I read it in TWO books. I learned that Harry and David's was a fruit place (they make fruit baskets, I guess) and then I saw someone on the train with a Harry and David's paper bag. 3) I have given away one CD of This American Life. I will marry Ira Glass someday. Actually, I think Ira Glass in on the top of my list of people I will never meet who if I did meet I could have sex with. And I'm going to end that sentences in a preposition and the grammar Nazis can bite me. 4) Tonight the Bearded Boy and I are going to celebrate Christmas. There will be an exchanging of gifts, a trip to Jeune Lune to see The Little Prince, and then some ice cream for dessert. We will then separate and not see each other for the better part of a month. I am sad, but I'm attempting to come to terms with it. 5) I'm going to go away from the Internet for a while. I'm going somewhere for a few weeks where a high speed connection is not valued and while I plan on getting SOME work done, it will be work of a non-Internet variety. I may check in once in a while with some notes from elsewhere, but it won't be very regularly. One of my New Year's resolutions will be to update more often, but it just won't happen until I get back to town.
