aaaaaaaaaaaaa.tumblr.com

Ah. I know what you're thinking. Nope. I'm not moving. I'm just expanding.

Just imagine, this is my written journal; aaaaaaaaaaaaa.tumblr.com is more like a... I don't know, rubbish book, or one of those funny little books people carry around and doodle in them during boring lectures. Anywho, societaldiarrhoea.blogspot.com just turned 1, I'm so not giving it up!

And holy crap, it's one week to Christmas!

Speaking of which. I've been indulging in a little bit of Christmas goodness in my iPod; I just bought Christmas Portrait by the Carpenters (1978), and their rendition of White Christmas almost made me cry. It's so ironic how I never knew a single White Christmas in my life, but can somehow relate to the lyrics, "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas/ Just like the ones I used to know".

I've been indulging in some very awesome oldies too; Other than Christmas Portrait I also bought As Time Goes By (2004), a compilation of recordings of TV specials and unreleased outtakes from the 'pre-Carpenters era' (1965-1968), and Chicago 17 (1984) by Chicago. Sigh. Music. How it flourished, and how it declines! Look at the shit that happens on MTV and so on. And the good, why do the good die young?
