-Though we have finally dropped down to sub-zero temperatures in Wolfville, things are still looking quite nice today. A few recent dustings of snow are making things look particularly festive. I am even hopeful that we may manage to squeeze out a nice sunset this afternoon evening.
-My Christmas preparations, aside from some gift shopping and thinking about all of the cleaning I will likely need to do, started in earnest today when I made some bread that I eventually intend to use for the turkey stuffing. As much as I am willing to admit that it does seem a bit weird to intention bake bread to allow it to go stale, it seems even weirder to me to buy bread with the intention of letting it go stale. Anyway, the deed has been done and the bread is now working its way towards staleness.
-The individuals previously associated with our phone number are still receiving daily calls from creditors. While I seem to have talked a collection agency into not calling, we are still receiving regular calls for another individual from a major financial institution. As I have already spoken to the company once I don't really know what my next step is (the calls are automated, making one-on-one interactions with the staff difficult).
(While writing this I had to deal with another such call, though this time from a person. I suspect I was talking to a collection agency, but as there number was blocked I can't confirm this hunch.)
-I probably listen to too many podcasts. I consume them while cooking, cleaning, walking, procrastinating, and riding the bus. They're the best. And there's little I like more than discovering a great new podcast with an archive I can compulsively listen to over the course of a few days.
Anyway, this is a long way of saying that I have recently found two podcasts that I am in the midst of acquainting myself with. The first one, HOW TO DO EVERYTHING, which seems to be NPR/WBEZ associated, is pretty light and concerns itself with a Richardson's Rounduppesque assortment of topics. The second one, 99% Invisible (which I discovered thanks to a recent Radiolab episode), is a little more serious and generally deals with topics relating to architecture and design.

Maybe the good student rate came with a price????
It's starting to look that way.
