Christmas??

Friday, December 18th 2009

I've gotten completely sidetracked. My cd player is in the shop. It's a pain to play cd's on a computer so I'm not playing my usual holiday stuff. Since I saw the trailer for "Nine" I've been playing the 2003 cast recording with the fine voice of Antonio Banderas. Why in world was he not cast in the movie?

With the high quality seafood T. sells the suppliers are especially cautious and T. can’t afford to pay for everything up front or even store the quantities he usually sells at the holidays.
