Comrades

I woke up this morning to something foreign. Snow! Half a centimetre of beautiful white snow. In December, no less. This is truly an event to be noted.

I was going to post yesterday about all the beautiful and marvellous things I got for Christmas, but never got around to it. I'm sure you're all terrible excited about this, so here's the comprehensive list in its entirety:

West Side Story and Footloose (in the same package)
A "temporary" burned copy of How Strange, Innocence by Explosions in the Sky
Paintings that Changed the World ('s a book!)
The Charlie Chaplin Collection (!!!!)
Veneer by Jose Gonzales
A real-live easel + box to put paint and (other) crap in.
A wicked awesome sound system to play my sounds.
A trip to an art show from my twinster (but the package it came in is really wonderful)
Here it is closed:


And opened:



I couldn't get that "lift" flap to stay open for the picture, but rest assured there was something wonderful underneath it.

Also also! My family got a working turntable! All our old LPs have been sitting down here waiting for this moment. Now is their moment to shine.

Have a happy day.

Veneer is one of the BEST albums EVER. Heartbeats is a sweet song, but you should download the original, which is Heartbeats by the Knife, and it's all synth-y and fabulous!

I totally did post at 6:20 am. I woke up with a start and couldn't go back to sleep.
I too am very enamoured by Ratty's crafting abilities.
