about now my only redeeming quality is my boyfriend's impeccable music taste (and darren's equally awesome contributions)

Music to shovel your car out, receive in the mail Hicok's latest, drink diet Pepsi, consider cancelling English 101, and place photo files to:

"Aside" The Weakerthans
"The Reputation of Ross Francis" My First Novel
"Smart Went Crazy" Atmosphere
"God Knows (You Gotta Give to Get)" El Perro Del Mar
"Young Folks" Peter Bjorn and John
"You Know I'm No Good" Amy Winehouse
"Woke Up New" The Mountain Goats

My brother called last night with our Friday itinerary: tour the country's two-story Target, drink 40s on the porch, eat buffalo sirloin at Ted Turner's steakhouse, hit up a bar.

I love him.
