No recs today because The Dad wants me to stand in the shop this afternoon. Normally I resent being asked to do this, but for whatever reason, I don't mind this holiday. Hopefully the afternoon shift isn't DEATHLY but I'm beginning to think it's always like that in the shop now, which is a little scary. Trade is disappearing.

I think The Family is gathering at one of my uncle's houses for the long weekend, but we won't be going. (Read: shop.) I also think that my maternal uncle is visiting tomorrow. Tomorrow marks the end of my first week of Easter break which means pretty soon I need to read Tortilla Curtain, email my classmates re: Paradise Lost, prep my On the Road essay, and do some serious work on my dissertation. Some time this break I also have to go shopping with my mum's side of the family (ugh - to the shopping more than the company, but still; this never goes well) and get myself measured up for a handful of sari blouses. This wedding malarkey is getting to be more than a little irritating (and I haven't even been to any of the pre-festivities that have been held so far, let alone the ones that have yet to come).

The Long Blondes have a new album out on 7th April; it's called Couples. Having only discovered them in the last year, I am full of hypothetical yayarms. Once and Never Again remains one of my favourite songs of 2007, and Heaven Help the New Girl comes a close second.

Lost continues to scare the crap out of me. Huzz.
