Tomorrow I head back to the STL for a NoCo Christmas!! I was planning on entering the party wearing a wife-beater, while eating a taquito but I don’t have a wife-beater… so it probably won’t happen.

Hot Chocolate
12/3/2006 – 9:40 pm
I’m currently listening to: Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde - I Want You
Who has Mexican Hot Chocolate from Moonstruck? That’s right, its me. I owe Andy a huge thanks for this wonderful treat. I might actually be excited to wake up and attend ECE class at 8am tomorrow just to try out my new drink. Aside from this, I have little to report. I went to a Christmas Parade and watched It’s a Wonderful Life with my Covenant Group Saturday night. I had never seen the movie before (I know, its kind of sad), but I enjoyed it a lot. I feel like I am really starting to build friendships and meaningful relationships with the people in the group. This should be further increased by Chili dinner/white elephant gift exchange tomorrow night. Well, I should get back to work, 473 is calling me.
Sufjan Stevens Might Be My Favorite Person in the World
11/7/2006 – 12:08 am
I’m currently listening to: Sufjan Stevens - Peace: Songs for Chrismas Vol. V
Sufjan Stevens just became greater than you, me, or anyone else I know. Understand that he is releasing a box set of Christmas songs containing:
- 5 Individual EPs
- A Christmas Songbook with Lyrics and Chords
- Christmas Stickers
- A Family Portrait
- 2 Short Stories written by himself
- An essay by Rick Moody
- A Music Video and Comic Strip
Now consider this, the price is under $20. I can see no way Mr. Stevens is turning a profit out of this beautiful endeavor. Instead, he has decided to bless us all with one of the greatest Christmas gifts ever assembled (outside of baby Jesus of course). I am still in a state of belief, and cannot wait until November 24, when this package is estimated to reach my front porch. For those of you who would like a preview of what this set will include, you can visit Asthmatic Kitty Records to check out streams of all five EPs. Be amazed– its warranted.
