Holidays are done and I'm back at work. The sun is shining, yesterday was a record high temperature for Jan. 1 and I biked to work today.

Metro Morning's discomfort with discussing global warming seems to be making a subtle shift. In the past, news of warm winter days would have been openly greeted with joy. Now there is still something chipper in the voice, but they are wary enough not to actually say something positive.

So, while we all slide into the ocean like Antarctic ice, here's a list of acquistions over the holidays:

1 gig SD card for my PDA, effectively making it into an MP3 player
Gift certificate for the comic book shop I frequent
A fabulous new bed!
Paul Simon's new album, Surprise, with sonic landscapes by Eno. Wow. Very, very good. Simon sounding like he really gives a shit!
Male Nude Now, compiled by David Leddick
The Comics Journal library edition of Jack Kirby featuring cranky interviews galore
A boffo pair of all cotton sweat pants
Bialetti Kona stovetop espresso maker

I read that Canadians spent 1.5 billion on December 26.
