wish list (under construction)

with 33 days left until i go back to school, i'm composing a holiday wish list... any recommendations?

- prepare a turkey dinner (and find people to feed it to... volunteers?)
- spend an evening playing hoopla, drinking egg nog, and listening to carols. while wearing sweaters. it's a tommy hilfiger ad! [(c) aaron sorkin]
- invest some time in the archives at uoft/york/conrad grebel
- look for a job
- make a snow fort
- work on scrapbooks with mike and kevin
- set up the tree with mom and dad
- read "alias grace"
- see "rachel getting married" and all the other movies i've been missing out on because i live in hamilton
- eat sushi at least once a week (x5)
- draught-proof my apartment
- pad my agatha christie collection
- read two of the textbooks for my "women in xn history" class
- knit or crochet something. (seriously, it just feels wrong not to.)
- finally check out all the music paul has ever recommended to me

i didn't know you lived in hamilton! that's like so close to where i used to live. guelph is actually kind of far from hamilton, but compared to calgary, hamilton breathes down guelph's neck.

anyways, all that to say: your 'check out all the music paul has ever recommended to me' wish struck a chord, pardon the pun. one of my newer friends has introduced me to a lot of great new music; i sometimes feel that i'm shallow in my musical tastes because the 'musical banter' we toss between us is a bit one sided.

but then i realized that he is a much more musical dude than i. its also true that to be influenced by someone whose musical palette is far more developed than my own is totally fine - if not commendable. how great is it to have personal tastes shaped by a friendship?

anyway, i have spoken my piece and then some...oh yah, i like your blog's look, ps! sort of stripped down and minimalist.
