baby it's cold outside

Nice weather for soup. This is a bowl of sweet potato soup with a fancy herbed bread stick I had last night at Urban Herbivore. Stay warm people!

2nd Annual Month of Listening to Women's Music

This is an idea I got last year while reading Inga Musico. It's hard to define "women's music" of course, but at mimum I'm listening to only female vocals for now. If women play the instruments and write the songs too, that's even better. I've got plenty to listen to, but let me know if you have some suggestions. I know Sandy will have lots of ideas!

(By the way, Inga Musico is giving a creative writing workshop in Toronto on Jan 19.)

Happy Gnu Year!

The woman at the post office told me it's good etiquette to say "happy new year" for the first 2 weeks of January, so here I am. Happy 2007!
