it's beginning to sound a lot like ...

keladry_lupinI'm putting off going to work this morning until I've finished uploading Christmas music to the laptop. This means I'm going to be missing the astronomy club meeting, but that's okay; I'm not really interested in the topic. Besides, I still have a lot of work to do around here, before the landlord shows up tomorrow morning to install the new stove.
[aside] I'd made five Christmas CDs five years ago when I worked at the bank, so that we'd have music while we worked. Unfortunately, the music I chose went over like a lead balloon, so when I left the bank three years ago, the CDs went with me. I'm cool with that, though I was annoyed at the time ... if my co-workers wanted music they liked on the CDs I mixed, they should have brought CDs in for me to copy! Though I do have a few songs they liked on there, like Mariah Carey's stuff (hurk) and Run DMC's "Christmas in Hollis" (which I do like). [/aside]
So I'm uploading the stuff I like from each CD, which I will then condense into a few "good stuff" CDs and put into the players in my car and my work computer. I never like the radio stations' choices for Christmas music; I guess if I don't choose it, it's cheesy. (Yeah, right.) It doesn't help that I heard Christmas music on November first. Not the day after Thanksgiving ... the day after freaking Halloween! I haven't listened to FM radio in several weeks.
In other news, two of the other five members of the round robin like a plot idea I had! (Squee.) We're working out how to continue and conclude the story properly. None of us has ever done a round robin before, so we're all learning as we go, but I think we're doing okay. Buzzy was right; we do need to give ourselves a bit more structure, now that we're in the second act of the story. (We don't want to draw it out all the way through Valentine's Day, after all!)
