bits and pieces

the party was a blast. and i won't go into details here, but this is one of the first parties in a long time (i mean, besides the halloween parties) when i've heard so many people utter "i hope i wasn't too out of control..." with downwardly cast and then upwardly hopeful eyes. mine included. but no matter. the party was a blast. great convos. new friends. and the last guests didn't leave until well into the morning. or after that. ;)

i finally got to meet woodencracker. unfortunately i didn't really get to talk to him. just a quick convo on the dance floor and now i wish we could have chatted more. all in due time, i am sure. meanwhile, check out his photos from 12/31/02. the shot of linnaea's musta been taken in the morning. i can tell by the shadows. and the emptiness of the street.

dan and i had lunch today which is something we rarely do outside of our home. we ended up at mo's, sitting at the bar that runs along the window facing all the downtown shoppers and strollers. afterwards we mosied down to booboo's and the phoenix, to pick up CDs and a calendar, in that order.

today's musical meanderings were very "wyeth's circle" inspired. on our way to peter gabriel last month stephen talked about a band called galactic, which i've never heard of. they played a big gig in sc and steve was all stoked to go. afterwards he said it was an amazing show, so i checked 'em out online and liked what i heard, so i picked up one of their cds. i also got an actual copy of geggy tah's into the oh (i'd been listening to a burned copy this whole time). into the oh was one of my favorite cds last year (no, the year before). and i also got... hmmm... what was the third cd. oh yes, passion by peter gabriel and this purchase was inspired by lief, of lief-and-sara fame because he said for the longest time it had been his favorite and that he never has favorites. ever. and i didn't have that pg, so i decided to grab it while the grabbing was good.
