Edisauris, I’m so sorry for the cat and like you even more than I do for being depressed.
The whole building was depressed! Well, the people in it, I mean. But as an animal lover, I'm sure you understand. (Hi, Sherlock!)
I was crying about this on the way home, even though I didn't get to know this cat. It just seemed so unfair. But my crappy day took a turn for the best, because just now, when I got home, there were two wonderful packages waiting for me!
The first was a new Raymond Scott compilation that an aquaintance has put together. I didn't even know he was working on this, but he produced the last two Scott albums, so it didn't surprise me. He is Raymond Scott's curator, and I LOVE Raymond Scott!
The second was beyond exciting! A big box o' books from Kritzerland, each one inscribed by our own BK and perfectly arranged in the order in which they are to be read. What a wonderful surprise to see that they had arrived here so quickly! (I think they were mailed on Saturday?) I didn't think I would have time to read much over the next week. I have to crank out this Mercer demo by tomorrow night in addition to my usual work on
The Closer, and Randy Newman will be in town this weekend, so there's a lot involved with that, but damn it, I WILL make time to start the first of the trilogy.
Bruce saves the day! (And the evening, too!) Yay!
