It's kind of like one of those puzzles where Jim, Joe and John are a baker, a butcher, and a candlestick maker and have red, blond and brown hair, and the butcher is not a redhead and Jim has brown hair, and you have to figure out who's who.

Those are puzzles? That people do for fun? I'm actually surprised because those are a type of question I've ever only run into on the analytical portion of the GREs (that's pretty much ALL the analytical section is). And I have nightmares about them.

In the nightmare my mom wants me to paint her house. But no green wall can be next to a red wall and no blue walls can be next to yellow walls but the hallway has to be orange and the living room has to be purple. And then she asks why I'm not married yet.

You should have Hec's CD very soon, LJ. I mailed it early this week. I'm so cheap - I should just spend the extra for priority.

Jon and Hayden Mixes for Me Next!! Woo hoo!

Boucher is French for butcher. I had a co-worker named Boulanger, which means baker. Don't know what candlestick maker is in French. The third guy in the office was Tomas Antona, the singer/songwriter from Alice Donut. Nice guy. Very tall.

Ayup -- I liked them a lot when I was a kid, though I haven't seen one in a while. I don't think I got any on the GRE, but the whole analytical section was kind of a blur of square roots and areas and angles for me.

No worries on Hec's CD, Tina. Good to know it's on its way. Plus, if it gets here today or tomorrow I can send it on with yours.

I used to love doing those logic puzzles too.

Hec - Has Hayden sent you my mix yet? I don't mean to put pressure on Hayden; I'm just curious.

Kate, the next two CDs are on their way to you today. I had to wait until payday!

I added moonlit to the list-o-liner-notes page.

I haven't received your mix via Hayden yet, Jon.

Hayden! Look, Auteurs tabs. You should do "Lenny Valentino" - great riff.

And to confirm DX's final ordering, I came home today and found a package from Halifax - it's from Sue! Track 6's title is my first name. Woo hoo! And just in time for VDay, Sue sent along a "Happy Stake in the Heart Day" valentine featuring our favorite slayer. Thanks, Sue!

Jon, my list and notes are here.

Me too. They're almost too easy these days when you can use a spreadsheet to help keep track of all the relationships.

Listening to Sue's mix - liking what I've heard so far. Just one question: How can the Weakerthans hate the city that's home to The Burton Cummings Theatre?

Just one question

OK, one more question, Sue. Were 19 and 20 accidentally switched or did you intentionally hit us with Madonna when we were expecting REM?
