A foot of snow on the way. Whiteness blows everywhere. Listening to Radiohead, “Kid A.” Pretty perfect wintertime album. Albeit a bleak one. Zach insists that it’s a hopeful album though. “It’s about taking control of your life, your environment,” he told me. Mankind overcoming technology, taking control of it. The swirling sounds match what I see through my window. Blizzard conditions by nightfall. 40 below with windchill. And I’m doing my laundry. Because it’s now or never. Finished my Christmas cards. I need wrapping paper now, some more stamps. Having dinner with Jessi tonight. Should I break out my geeky-looking snow boots? There goes the snow plow. We all need more time to just sit like this, sit & observe & record.
