Our friend over at Arab Tunes had some of her stuff a while back, but pulled it down. It's worth going to her website and ordering the CDs b/c (a) they're super affordable! ($8) and (b) gorgeously produced physical objects, at least the first one | |

In her case I support it, b/c the label is either hers or she works closely with it, so she probably *does* get money from purchases | |

Were you here for the ice storm of '98, Melinda? Local media will be playing up the anniversary just ahead. I only lost power for a few hours on one day back then. I stay lucky with the juice in this neighborhood for some reason. | |

Are you guys getting hit with this thing as well? I'm guessing the whole east coast | |
♥
Wed. 1/3/18 9:15pm
melinda:
I wasn't here then. I did lose power for 5 days in October though, which now makes me more nervous about losing it again. Had a brief outage on New Year's Day. Also keeping a close eye on my oil tank gauge, getting very low and the storm might delay the delivery I'm supposed to get tomorrow. I mostly like winter but boy it can suck at times. | |

Oh, yeahhhh. It's comin. That's why the shoppers are freaked. Might go out in it afoot tomorrow when it gets exciting. I procrastinated on oil order until the NY holiday was almost upon us and thought the delay would be stretched, but found a company that took care of me. A friend of mine told me she's been putting diesel from the gas station in her oil tank a 5 gal. jug at a time while waiting for a delivery. | |
