Circadian Shift

I know, I know...

Screamingly late, but here's last week, represented by two mood boards.

Media consumption:

• Got the CD In Between Dreams by Jack Johnson after redeeming some AirMiles. I know, it's the sort of comfortably soothing tunage listened to by Volvo-driving suburbanites pushing 40, but I like it (even if it does mean that my age is showing -- Swedish sedan and dwelling in a subdivision notwithstanding).
• Read the book Songbook by Nick Hornby. It's a collection of essays about songs that have some significance to the author. Therefore: Essays (arguably my favourite literary format) + Music (one of my favourite things) + Hornby (one of my favourite authors) = Pretty Easy to Like, IMHO.

In other happenings, N and I went to Ottawa for the long weekend. The second board is double-sized, so click on the one you see below to launch the full-sized version in a pop-up window.

It was cold and rainy, which meant that it was no worse than if we had stayed in Toronto. Took in the National Gallery and the Museum of Civilization, and did a lot of walking around and basically taking it easy.

(Most of the pics on the board were taken by N; I took the one of the back of the Parliament Buildings, plus the two of the National Gallery, using N's camera.)
