its freezing but there's no snow yet, but chicago, further down south was so inundated with the white stuff that that flights were delayed. madison's supposed to be colder so why no snow dammit!?
finally acquired a slow cooker, Ram bought me some lentils, and I stole some spices from him, and I have finally a pot of daaaal slowly cooking in my slow cooker. finally! mmm mmmmm!
however, am out of coffee. That is a bad thing, for I'm in mugging mode nowadays. That's fuel for the brain, regardless of the effect on the stomach. Ah well.
The von Karajan Beethoven recordings finally arrived. I'm listening to them now. Supposedly its one of the best recordings but I guess I've been too used to the faster version by Norrington. The 9th symphonie is now so slow that it sounds draggy, like some invalid trying to run a marathon. No energy at all! How the hell am I going to mug to this music.
Ah well. von Karajan or not, I still prefer my olde recordings.
To each his own
