Friday is Fucking Freezing
Today rocks. It’s freezing cold, even Edinburgh has a little snow, and the Water of Leith has completely frozen over outside our office. Basically, this is a proper Winter and, as you might have guessed from my last post, I am loving it.
My hair froze on the way into work this morning, which is something I haven’t experienced since I was about seventeen. I went skiing for a day with my Dad this Christmas which, rather sadly, is something we haven’t done for nearly ten years. Christ it was perilous on the first few runs down!
So yes, basically I am loving it, it’s like regressing to childhood again, at least as nostalgic as the Elton John song I put in your Friday selection. Yes. Yes I did. Elton John. Suck it up, bitches (as he presumably must have said to Wham at one stage).
This weekend I will be sorting out video and audio from the New Year’s House Gig, making a start on the eagleowl Toad Session, getting a couple of our new releases sorted out and generally being an efficient little weasel. I think I work harder in my free time at the moment than I do at my actual job – I’m certainly far more organised, there’s no doubt about that.
I was mocked yesterday for constantly carrying about a a big (and very pretty and colourful) chart of the Song, by Toad Records release schedule for the year. Fair point and all, but between the timeline and the actual cost figures I have in there, it’s a pretty important chart to have. Yay admin! Whoever thought it could be so sexy.
1. Name one plan/resolution/Very Important Decision you have made for the new year.
2. Have you done any Extremely Fun Snow Stuff yet? And if not, WHY NOT?
3. Favourite snowy bit in a film (NOT Hoth-related because that’s too easy).
4. Coldest you’ve ever experienced.
5. Favourite warming up beverage for freezing cold days.
