  So it's official that the holiday season is approaching. We've started playing Christmas music at work and setting up winter themed displays and signage. Everyone seems to be pepping up but I can't seem to get into the spirit of it all. My feelings for the end of the year are clouded by so many uncertain factors. Of course, that isn't to keep me from indulging in a few holiday-exclusive treasures, namely the Starbucks Peppermint Mocha. Yummy. Maybe it's just too early? We'll see.

    Life is so funny to me sometimes, in a "I wonder if there is such thing as coincidence" sort of way. A few weeks ago my friend, Robbie, gave me the Bat for Lashes record [Fur and Gold] when I asked him to give me some new music. After rolling it around in my car and on my computer [and totally falling in love with it] I found something familiar in the song "What's a Girl to Do" and it turns out that Mister Christopher had actually sent me a youtube link to the music video for that song [very eerie, so good] a little while before. Hold that thought. Still in search of new music I picked up a Kenna record [Make Sure They See My Face] Saturday after choosing to play it at work and being really into it. I haven't had time to do any real research on either of the artists, still letting them grow on me. Last night at work a guy who I knew was vaguely familiar to me came over to the music department while Kenna was playing and asked me if I'd chosen that record to play. I had. After talking about the record for a while we remembered how we knew each other. He'd visited Barnes and Noble about a month before and he and I had a pretty interesting conversation about comic books. He hung around and talked to me for a while, and we formally introduced ourselves. His name is Eric. He left and I continued about work. Not even five minutes later he returned and said that while we were on the subject of music had I ever heard of a band called Bat for Lashes. I laughed and asked him if he'd been spying on me. He laughed when I explained my the odd series of 'coincidences'. He then told me he'd be back to find me when he made more interesting music and comic book discoveries and continued to say that I was charming and adorable - which made me blush like a little girl.
