Well, well. I hardly ever write because the address I subscribed to this list forces me to do so through telnet and I really hate that. I could rectify the situation but I don't see much of a need. Anyhow though. I hope everyone is having a lovely holiday season. I received the last two B&S CDs I needed to complete my collection -- no more scratchy copy-of-a-copy-of-a-copy Tigermilk tape. Now if only they'd put the Evening Session on CD...Oh, and the other one was Dog on Wheels, incidentally, of which I only had two songs on my bootleg copy of Tigermilk which somehow got scratched up and skips to a degree I cannot deal with. So yay!!! Christmas itself was pretty swell...I got many things that I asked for, including this massive Russian dictionary that I had to ask for because I couldn't afford it myself -- $50 US, so roughly 35 pounds. And also a little mini stereo to take back with me to Scotland -- oh, I didn't mention that I've been living in Glasgow for the past three months studying at the Uni but that I'm now home in the States for Christmas/New Year's/term break. Nice. But strange to be back. My dad painted my room a new color so I'm very disoriented. And I also left at the point when the kitten we got this summer was still very tiny. Now she's 6 months old, has her cat fur (i.e. no longer as fluffy) and do you know how kittens have that cute little meow and then it turns into an adult cat meow? Well, that's what happened and she's all big and it's sort of sad! But she remembers me and I know this because she's been following me around and sleeping in my room at night. So she still likes me. But I miss being in Glasgow and I will be flying back in less than two weeks! Too bad I hate to fly. p.s. Tiago -- you're right, Charlie Brown is very twee and I started listening to the soundtrack from "Charlie Brown's Christmas" about 3 weeks before Christmas, and everybody laughed because they said it was too early for Christmas music but I love it. But I especially like Snoopy. Charlie Brown is very sweet, though. Well, I have gone on and on quite long enough, so I will leave you now. But if anyone knows of any meet-ups or worthwhile events -- of which there are many in Glasgow -- please please let me know because I am always on the lookout but somehow I always miss things! Or if anyone wants to meet up let me know because I would be more than happy to arrange something. Or even if anyone wants to meet up in the Phialdelphia area before January 8, which is when I will be heading back. Bye bye!!!
