Canada, Cana-doo-dee-dah!
If I was stranded on a desert isle this very evening, I would want to bring only Final Fantasy songs with me. Scout's Honor. I am slack-jawed with awe. Such joyful noises, I can't rememember feeling so inspired by songs like these in a long time. Both records. I sing them over and over again to myself while driving--even got pulled over the other night in Rhode Island while singing "all things shininggggg!" Owen Pallett, my hat goes off to you. Off, off, off!
Happy Holidays, everyone! I'm home now, wherever that may be. Today it's Massachusetts. A lot of change is going on...I've become a respectable member of the greater good--working a job servicing the whims and needs of Greenpoint residents with coffee and baked goods. I've also relieved myself of residency for the time being, stripped myself of a lot of my belongings and other edifices. Attempting an excersize in mobility and flexibility, though there's no guarantee how long this will last for me, since I am a creature of comfort and mild domesticity. Listening to pretty songs and cooking my comfort foods. I go into the New Year blindfolded and without fanfare. No Peeking. It can all look a little like a climb up Mt. Hood or something, so my hope is if I concentrate a bit more on the view than the hike, etc...Too homeric for you, dear readers? eh, yeah...I think so, too. I'll spare you the length.
Well, all I can say is that this year when we're all giving gifts and thinking of charity, you should consider this: TerraPass.com
My friend Jenn told me about it and it's super rad! Basically, it's a carbon offset for your driving--as someoe who averages quite the mileage yearly, I've bought an offset for my car, which will go towards all sorts of cool stuff like wind power and planting trees. Things that will counter all of the CO2 I've put in the air this year. Not all of us can lease a Prius, but as someone who lives on the coast and sees the daily result of erosion, global warming, and climate change--I think we can all do something to help. I'm really freaked out about the warm weather and the higher tides in the place where I grew up. For every TerraPass you buy, you get a cool little bumper sticker for your car, and it's not too much money at all! A standard vehicle offset is about $50 for the whole year--a small price for something that has the potential to help everybody.
Okay...I remove myself now from my soap box, and wish you all a wonderful New Year. I thank all of you for making 2006 such a wonderful, strange, whirling dervish of a year--you have turned my world on its end, given me the opportunity to see such beautiful things that I sometimes think I dreamed it all. Cannot put my gratitude into words, can't really say it without sounding like a big sentimental butthead. But whatever. I owe you all more than a blog entry...that's for sure.
Hoping you are all surrounded by people you love, eating ungodly amounts of food, and feeling happy and warm. See you in 2007, with whistles and bells on. I'm bringing my A game, promise! Get ready.
