And since there was a sale on, I got to pick another CD, and it was Sarah McLachlan&#8217;s <i>Freedom Sessions<\/i>. Not bad, eh? The Junkies album was recorded in a church, it seems, and it contains some haunting numbers, which sound awesome not just because of Margo Timmins ( What. A. Voice) but  the&#8230;ambience, yeah I think that&#8217;s it, the songs have this ambient, laidback gospel-countryish touch to them.  Haven&#8217;t listened to Sarah McLachlan much, but the songs are promising. Especially <i>Plenty<\/i>, a song that&#8217;s only vocals layered over one another.<\/p>\n<p><i>Lara Croft:Cradle of Life<\/i> sucked bigtime.<\/p>\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t go to sleep last night, and I got tired of playing the same mission in <i>GTA:Vice City<\/i> over and over again &#8211; yacht racing&#8217;s just too tough, boss &#8211; so I decided to go clean the toilet. Which was beginning to resemble a&#8230;er&#8230;.garden, with mineral deposits and all.  Oodles of enthusiasm and much hard work later, I dropped off to sleep, It was 3:20 AM. The commode and basin weren&#8217;t exactly gleaming, but it was clean! Come by and tell me how you like it. ;-)<\/p>\n<p>Woke up at 11:30, with <i>absolutely no interruptions<\/i>!!!! A modern-day miracle! Rishi made me breakfast at 12, as a token of gratitude. Possibly for not waking him up to indulge in my nocturnal  enterprises.<\/p>\n<p>Did the word &#8220;Frig&#8221; originate from Frigga, the Norse goddess of Love and Fertility ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So there was this Cowboy Junkies track playing on Radio Paradiso yesterday morning, and it was so good that I couldn&#8217;t resist myself and went ahead and bought the Trinity Session album by the Junkies.
