Since returning from the RP, I've been rather short on items to blog about. It's not as if I don't do anything day in and day out, but sometimes life in the village feels like the Bill Murray flick "Groundhog's Day" or the classic Dunkin Donuts commercial "Time to Make the Donuts". In short, life in the village, especially during the winter months, feels rather redundant.
Speaking of winter, I am very glad I don't live in Oswego, Parish, or Mexico, NY where snowfall totals in a week's period were simply beyond comprehension. 8 feet of snow? Are you fucking kidding me? FREEZE LAKE ONTARIO! FREEZE! Just as I was counting my lucky stars for not living near the lake, the 2007 Valentine's Day Nor'easter (the bold is for dramatic effect) strikes central NY, dumping approx. 32 inches of snow in a 24 hour period. Pics are fothcoming. Seriously, since Wednesday, we have been living in a Siberian-esque hell. Help!
Here's what's been in rotation since I last posted:
1. NYC weekend visit: Entire time spent in West and East village. Lots of shoe stores, coffee shops, restaurants, bars. Recommend: Loves Save the Day. A very cool popular culture store in the E. Village. The Cubbyhole: Good old fashioned eye candy for the queer girl.
2. Shut Up and Sing: Another cool Barbara Kopple documentary. I haven't seen one of her docs that I haven't enjoyed, but my favorite remains Harlan County, USA.
3. Ear Candy: Kanye West's The College Dropout, Band of Horses Everything All The Time
4. Reading: Weekly, Kathleen *The Communist Party of the Philippines: 1968-1993*, Mulder, Niels *Filipino Images*, The Nation, Harper's
5. TV: American Idol, Food Network (Barefoot Contessa, Nigella Bites), The Weather Channel
