Just stuffed myself at the office holiday party. But I’ll get my second wind around 5 o’clock. That’s when the Newberry Christmas party starts.

Andy’s posted his list, so I’m posting mine. Not necessarily released in 2005, these were nevertheless some of the songs I listened to all year long: a personal time capsule of the past twelve months.

1 i feel love (12“ single remix): donna summer
2 this: brian eno
3 how to be invisible: kate bush
4 man with a harmonica: ennio morricone
5 l-l-love: astaire
6 eleanor put your boots on: franz ferdinand
7 downtown: mrs. miller
8 chubb sub: medeski, martin + Wood
9 bandy bandy: zap mama
10 sweet soul honey: daniel lanois
11 dance a little bit closer: charo & the salsoul orchestra
12 sundown: gordon lightfoot
13 chromatic fantasy in d minor: christophe rousset
14 get confused: fischerspooner
15 everybody’s changing: keane
16 too drunk to fuck: nouvelle vague
17 satin chic: goldfrapp
18 imagine…walk on the wild side: rx

If you’ve been good, there might be a mix CD on its way to you already. If not, and you really want one, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

–Friday night: Las Pinatas for dinner and “Syriana” at Piper’s Alley. Damn good movie. It would be even better after repeat viewings.

–Saturday night: Alec Baldwin on SNL. The last sketch, which appropriated Baldwin’s monologue from “Glengarry Glen Ross” for Santa’s workshop, was wickedly inspired.

–Yesterday: getting an awesome email from Kevin in Portland, baking chocolate chip cookies, seeing the TMLMTBGB Best of ’05 show at the Neo-Futurarium for free.

Plus, Andy ended the weekend in good spirits and that made me happy.

Andy & I will going to the 7 pm show this Friday at the Century if anyone would care to join us. Place is gonna be so cruisy that any straight man who accidentally wanders into the theatre will be instantly converted.

I just signed up for a cell phone.

Snow, Shopping, Sauce

After work, with Brandon. And I may be going twice next week too.

Gotta get in all the tiki I can before it closes for good. There are still some Trader Vic’s cocktails I’ve never tried.
