Moonstruck Mexican Hot Chocolate

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

Sufjan Stevens Christmas

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.
