Michigan, the winter wonderland

Well, for those of you not in Michigan, we were "blessed" with a ton of snow on Thursday. It began snowing around 9am and didn't let up for about 8 hours. Needless to say, the roads were a bit of a mess that day, but it is so amazingly beautiful (too bad it has to be cold to snow...). Anyways, I thought I'd share a few pictures of it all. Unfortunatley the pictures seem to lose something, maybe it just wasn't sunny enough when I took them, but you still get the idea. Doesn't it make you just want to curl up inside with a cup of hot chocolate and a good book?

It definitely has gotten me really in the mood for the holidays (and I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping--yay!) Got the Christmas cards done and mailed which is way better than I can say for myself last year...they just never got done at all, so they may be a little late this year, but at least I did them!

Other than that things have been busy but not terribly interesting. In my next post I'll have some current music commentary, but I need to finish wading through this weeks downloads, purchases and such before getting into that. One quick thing on that note though, I'd really recommend checking out Men, Women & Children and Action Action (though, unless you were at their show at the Blind Pig a week and a half ago, you'll have to settle for checking out their cd's). Men, Women and Children even got a write-up in the January 2006 issue of Alternative Press as one of the most anticipated albums of 2006. I'd almost put money down that these two bands are going to be getting airplay by this time next year. Let's see what happens....
Ciao,
Sasha
