Still ripping CDs

judecorpYou know, I'm almost through all of the CDs that I actually want to listen to with some regularity. After those are done (probably 30 more), I can move on to the ones that I might listen to every once in a while, which includes the seasonal stuff. Not a moment too soon for the Christmas music and the Grinch CD. I sure do loves me some Grinch.
We ended up going to IKEA anyway, and it was a total circus over there. We parked a million miles away and bushwhacked to the place and my god, it was just /packed/. Not as bad as Rockefeller Center on tree-lighting night or anything, but still. Wow.
We went with the intention of "seeing what was there" and maybe "holiday shopping for relatives" but did neither. What we /did/ do was end up with a couple of odds and ends for ourselves, including this absolutely adorable storage rack thing for the kitchen that will look so cute when it's all hung up. Other than that, nothing much - a garbage can, some 50¢ placemats, a couple of pieces of new swedish tupperware.
By the time we were in the checkout line, which looked like LaGuardia airport after 9/11 I might add, I was feeling completely exhausted and sick and run down. Yuck. Just in time for work tomorrow. But we did get the sheets washed, and the laundry is half done, and the dishwasher is empty, and the counters have been cleared of assorted junk, and the kitten has had some FREEDOM! (Now put my guts back in.) time careening through the apartment before we could put him back in The Room. My plan is to get to bed in the next 30 minutes. Thanks to the time change I can't sleep past 6am, and those last two late nights (2am or later) with a 6am wake-up are /really/ kicking my butt.
You know, I don't think this crap is interesting to anyone but me. But I guess that's okay, since it's my journal.

Date: 2005-11-14 12:50 pm (UTC)"Little Plastic Castles" used to be one of my favorite Ani albums and one of my favorite albums, period. Then somewhere along the way I didn't like Ani's new stuff so much and I stopped buying and listening so fanatically... and I seemed to have forgotten about her older stuff that I liked so much. It's only in importing all of these CDs that I'm remembering some of these albums that I loved so much in my younger days. :)

Also, we went to breakfast at Sorella's and thought of you, but your number is trapped in my old broken phone and that's not terribly useful. Aah well, next time.
Kittens Kittens!!
