What Day Is It?

This past week has been absolutely nutty. It began with so much pre-election tension, which led to a short workday on election day followed by a night out. Tuesday felt more like a Friday. And now that it actually is Friday, what am I doing?

I'm packing.

Even though I just moved into this building less than seven months ago, I'm already switching apartments. I promise, there's a great story behind the move and I'll get around to telling it eventually, but the short version is that my current unit has an, ahem, defect which allows every sound from my neighbors' unit to pass into mine, and vice versa. Rather than keep waiting for it to be fixed, I jumped at the chance to move into another unit when one became available. And it looks like a good one did.

My new apartment is in a quieter spot on the top floor with a balcony. SWEET!

Ahh, but due to a colossal lack of planning on my part, I may not have internet for a few days. Oh well. Humanity survived for hundreds of thousands of years without internet service. Surely I can survive a few days.

Surely.

Since I probably won't have internet service on Monday, when I normally post a playlist here, I'm posting this one in advance. Until I'm back online, the only way to listen to it is by clicking the "listen" button below (the radio player button at the top of the page takes you to last week's playlist). I'm back.

There's no theme the coming week - it's simply a collection of what I've been listening to lately on the iTunes.

My god, what a photo. This was the shot Barack and Michelle used for the Obama family 2006 Christmas card. Most would envy Barack Obama for becoming arguably the most powerful man in the world - the President of the United States of America... but I look at that photo and see something far greater.

I see love.

Nothing could ever be better than that.
