Elsewhere in Chateau Steelypips

While I work and suffer from the Wintertime Blues [*] and unusual prose sensitivity [**], Chad discusses our book shelves; poses a cheery hypothetical on love and death in preparation for teaching "Story of Your Life" (spoilers); and posts a more detailed explanation of the pregnancy health issues. And the dog hunts squeaky toys in the snow.

[*] John Hiatt (last.fm). Particularly:

There's no spring
There was never any spring
Spring's a long gone thing
There won't ever be a spring no more

Since my favorite line, "Three hours of daylight and all of them gray / the suicide prevention group has all run away," is no longer quite applicable.

Oh, and while I'm linking to music, have some pretty harmonies from a lesser-known alt-country/folk rock band called the Jayhawks who came up on shuffle recently:

• "Save It for a Rainy Day" (YouTube)
• "Stumbling Through the Dark" (YouTube)
• "I'd Run Away" (last.fm)
• "Blue" (YouTube) (also covered by The Thorns (last.fm))
• live version of "Tailspin" with the Sadies (artist website)
• short, poor-quality live snippet of the very pretty "All the Right Reasons" (YouTube)

[**] Decided not to attempt Acacia because the retrospective omniscient was grating on me. I hardly ever care about this stuff, what is my deal lately? Not that I have time to be reading now.

Clearly, the Best Dog in the World (Upper New York State Region) is a Might Huntress!

I'm glad the first set of Baby Worries have been dismissed. As you have no doubt noticed, there are always new Baby Worries ready to show up, including the cost of clothing, educating, and keeping up with the demands for the latest in electronics.
