i walked into a local record store and asked for an american music anthology

i really enjoy listening to mix cd's. on a roadtrip, even though i have many a cd, i will generally always choose one of my many mixes. i think it's the variety. right now, not only am i obsessed with my own mixes, but i am obsessed with cbc radio 3. i wish i could take every single song they play (minus the bedouin soundclash) and inject it straight onto my ipod. i love it all. and today, while i was playing it at work, i ended up cranking up the new pornographers' 'myriad harbour' and singing and dancing. thank goodness i was alone at the time. and in a relatively soundproof part of the department.

i also love making mix cd's for others. sharing music is so fun for me, and even more fun when i send people something that they end up loving.

okay, so the first half of this post was written earlier this evening before i got off my ass and went to the gym for an hour. so this is an afterthought before i publish. i have just realized that the chocolate almonds sitting on my desk (which i had like fifty of earlier today) are the devil. if ate eight of them right now, the total calories i would consume would equal the ones i just burned off at the gym. le sigh. oh dear elliptical trainer, how you kick my ass for such tiny results. surely a good twenty minutes should equal a whole bag of chocolate almonds. alas, this is only one of several examples of how life is not fair.

addenum: i just knocked said bag off my desk and dropped like seven almonds onto the floor. garbage. problem solved. (well, not entire problem solved. i couldn't get back the forty other almonds i had managed to cram in my face prior to the destruction of the last few)
