Spring IS coming, I'm certain.

There are Signs.

I saw my first turkey vulture of the season on Monday afternoon. Means the migrations north are underway. In the mornings, I've been hearing woodpeckers for two weeks. I believe I heard a towhee today when I came back from lunch. The cardinals and red-wings can't be far behind. The squirrels are out and about, and acting particularly crazy.

People's sinuses have been causing them no end of problems. I'm not the only one to report sinus headaches this week. Nothing's blooming, but the molds sure seem to know when the seasons are changing.

It rained today. Solidly. Not snow. Finally. It's been light in the morning when I get to the gym. Light enough to read by. It's lovely.

There is hope, here in southeast Michigan. Really.

And now, a Meme.

A music meme, because Miss rubricity asked so nicely.

1) Total volume of music files on my computer?

At the moment, 4.3 GB. And it goes up about 400 MB every month, as I'm subscribed to e-Music. Hadn't realized it was that much, already.

2) The last CD I bought was...

ermm... the last physical CD I bought was... probably... Corvus Corax: Gaudite - Live. Was on a bit of a spree at that moment. That's likely one of four I got at the same time.

The last disc I downloaded was DJ Krush - Krush.

3) The last song I listened to before writing this was...

Well, I started with X-Dream - Radio and at the moment it's Pigface - Asphole. It'll be something else before I'm done. (Indeed, it finishes with The Decemberists - Clementine.)

4) Five songs I listen to a lot or that mean a lot to me.

The Gathering - A Life All Mine
VNV Nation - Beloved
Susanne Vega - Caramel
Oingo Boingo - Mary
Gramophone - Brighton Rocks

I'll let you try and figure out why I listed each. ;-)

5) Which 5 people are you passing this baton to, and why?

Well, if folks would be so kind...
valsharess1 She's always got something interesting to listen to.
eac Her 'current music' always catches my eye, but I've never had the chance to peruse her collection.
borghalrantipol Her tastes are just about as wide and weird as mine.
kickaha Because. I can only imagine what he's got in store.
greenlily I am always looking for something new, and something diverse. Her collection appears much different from mine.
