I love the look of a tree covered in snow. This is lucky because I get to see 20 minutes of it out the window of the train these days. Snow has arrived indeed. I’m really starting to realize that having to only endure a month of this, and then sitting out the rest of the winter in California is a good, good thing. Although, I had a dream last night that we arrived and had a truly awful apartment to live in. Stupid paranoid brain.
On another topic, the award for cutest little cd in the world goes to Nighttiming by Coconut Records. Which is essentially Jason Schwartzman and friends. It sounds like he spent a month listening to Sgt. Pepper’s, but the BeeGees version, and watching episodes of the Monkeys and then went into the basement and recorded an album. It’s the first time I’ve thought of the BeeGees cover of the Sgt. Pepper album in ages. Takes me waaaay back. My precocious enjoyment of this album is due to having a sister 8 years older than me. I remember going to the theatre on a Saturday afternoon in downtown Kitchener and seeing Xanadu. I couldn’t have been more than 7 years old. It pretty much blew my mind. I haven’t seen it since but thanks to this adorable cd by Jason Schwartzman, I am so totally going to listen to the Bee Gees version of Sgt. Pepper and rent Xanadu. I suggest you do the same!
Oh and I am pleased to announce that there is a new distraction as I wait for the train in the morning. A very tall, businesslike man who everyday, while waiting for the train, closes his eyes and practices walking backwards, as if he were on a tightrope. One foot directly behind the other. Either he is a tight rope walker from 9 to 5 or he's a little kooky. My guess is OCD. I feel like congratulating him for being so funky. Whatever the reason. Walking backward with your eyes closed is one of the best ways of waiting for a train that I've seen for sure.
