I'm bummed. Chris was supposed to come to Iowa City today, and we were going to dine and talk about music. But there was a blizzard in Minnesota that prevented this. Curse you, old man winter!
I wouldn't have had any money to buy food anyway, as I am literally broke right now. I got a little carried away on amazon.com this week. Things I bought: 1.) A huge 12-DVD set of old cartoons, for a mere $20. 2.) Paul Simon's Rhythm of the Saints, the only Simon album I don't have. They've marked the occasion of the completion of my Paul Simon collection with a series of remastered re-releases of his albums with additional tracks, damn it all, so maybe I'll have to buy them all again. 3.) Roxy and Elsewhere by Zappa and the Mothers. I've been obsessed with Frank Zappa lately, but still haven't heard any live stuff. Until now! 4.) The soundtrack to Really Rosie by Carole King. None of my friends remembers this incredibly awesome 1975 TV movie that was such a big part of my childhood. Nor does any of them even seem to know the name Maurice Sendak.
Speaking of Maurice Sendak, Oh god do I want this.
