When it's -30, what do you do?
Jan. 22nd, 2005 02:24 pmBecause I'm such a fitness freak (!) I'm currently a member of two gyms at once. I didn't plan on it, really, it's just that I went to take a look at gym #2, which is closer to my house, to see what their prices were and all that, and it turns out that if you can prove you're still a member of another gym when you sign up, they waive the sign-up fees. And since my the month is almost up, I can cancel my membership at gym #1 on Monday. Score!
After that, I went over to Loisir des usagers to sell some manga. They give you more credit than cash, so I looked around to see if there was anything I liked. Since all their CDs are in alphabetical order by artist, with wide genre divisions, you have to know what you're looking for. What I should do is make a list of CDs I want, or at least artists I should look up, because I never remember what I want -- anyway, I was browsing in a desultory manner, having found only a CD of traditional Chinese music that struck my fancy, when I happened upon Aimee Mann's Whatever. Not bad, not bad. But I had credit for 25$ and only sixteen dollars' worth of music in my hand. I turned back to the world music section, thinking maybe there'd be something from Putumayo. But lo, what's this I spy, inexplicably in the Latin Music row? My Romanian boys!
And so it came to pass that I became, by a fortuitous glance, the proud owner of not only the theme song of the Summer of '05, but a whole CD of equally fun, fluffy pop. And there's a remix...
