music, books, love and kindness

If you're going to be snowed in for the weekend (like most of us are in Maryland, DC and Virginia), at least you can be comforted with having great books:

(which I'm reading for the first time)

and great music:

(certainly an appropriate enough title)

And speaking of music I've discovered two goodies...



I've never seen the movie "Bandits," but for some  reason I picked the soundtrack up at the library today and wow...what a pleasant surprise. One of my favorite songs from my childhood is on here, only I didn't know it was until the first notes of "Wildfire" started...

Also terrific is the music from "Babel":


There's a very fun, poppy song called "Oh My Juliet" by Takashi Fujii, which you can watch the video for on You Tube:
