After a pair of not entirely uneventful days, today wasn’t much more than the very unexciting prelude to what promises to be a pleasantly uneventful three-day weekend.
And that, really, is all.
Day: January 14, 2011
Song of the day
“Both Hands” by Ani DiFranco
This version, my own particular favorite, where she’s joined by the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, is from her double live CD, Living in Clip. If you’re only going to buy one Ani Difranco album, this would be the one. But, then, you’d only own one Ani DiFranco album, which would be sad.
