Gwen Stefani album

Holy Smokes!  I am absolutely in love with the new Gwen Stefani album, childish lyrics and all.  What a great package.  I love how she went the other way on how other people would have expected a solo album to go: instead of going for one unified sound, she addresses the dichotomous nature of her personality by roping in a heap of friends and mentors to help articulate all the facets she wishes to explore.   A great record. 

It feels good to go downtown, sit in the mini coffee shop at Sam the Record Man on Yonge Street and relax, taking in the surroundings.  I love to pause and enjoy the moment in that spot whenever I'm over that way.  But I can't get too carried away, like I've got time for time off or anything, I've got a lot of work to do to get the fourth issue out into the world the way we're going to AND put together SW5 for February.   It may sound like a long way away, but a week can fly before you know it if you're not REALLY careful.  Plus there's the bump at Christmas. 

The more I think about the party yesterday, the more fond of it I grow.   But I can only enjoy the moment for a moment.  I've got to get moving!
