January is finally on it's way out, good riddance. To add insult to injury, I bought two double CD's at Borders Thursday night and both of them had damaged CD holders. I got the debut CD from Conjure One (a former Delerium member, with vocals by Poe, Sinead O'Connor and Marie Claire D'Ulbaldo) and the Winter Chill 3 collection, really nice. Winter Chill still had enough prongs in place to hold the CDs in, but Conjure One was crunched. They both have cardboard sleeves also, and I think part of the problem is they really shouldn't be jammed into those little anti-theft cases, it's just sort of sad. I exchanged the crushed one, took the clerk some real pondering to realize what I meant when I said they were "broken", she kept staring at it like "what's broken??". Another reason to order music from Amazon, perhaps...

Good grief, my mind's gone completely blank... Just for fun, and practice, I'm adding a photo category to the blog, nothing brilliant to begin with , just some of the cool things we have around our house. When the weather warms up for good, and perhaps some of the green starts to come back, I'll do more city hopping and get some artsier things for you to look at.

Almost forgot, my eBay meter turned over to 5000 today! Ironically, the deciding comment was left by a bidder I'd been a little worried about, because she was new and her Airmail package hadn't reached her as fast as she thought it should. I've got a green star now, only 5000 more feedback points to go till the next level... Actually I've received almost 7000 positive feedbacks, and left over 9000, but not everyone leaves feedback, and I have so many repeat bidders (and sellers :-) that only one per person counts.
