St. Lawrence Market Sundays

A bit of a ritual for me is going to the St. Lawrence Antiques Market on Sunday mornings to get my vinyl fixings. This morning was no different, and I came back with three slabs of vinyl (well, four, because one of them was a double), that cost me a measly 14 bucks.

First up, and what I'm listening to right now, is Gordon Lightfoot's Gord's Gold. There were a few Lightfoot albums in the pile of vinyl that my parents brought up, and the album I got today is notable for having re-recordings of songs that Gord thought weren't up to snuff in the mid-'70s. I also picked up The Best of Blondie, which I had on vinyl once upon a time, but it had a skip in it, so I threw it out. I also picked up Chicago's 16, which is from their somewhat dismal '80s period when they were being produced by David "King of Sap" Foster, but I'm a bit of a completist, I guess. I love their older stuff. "25 or 6 to 4" was one of my favourite songs growing up, and I must have worn out the grooves on the 45 rpm record that my parents had (which has been bequeathed to me, but I have yet to listen to it.)

I'm going to watch the Jays game later this afternoon, and I'm happy to see them up 9-4 in the standings. Maybe they will have a good run this year at the championships if they can keep this up, and win the rubber match against the A's this afternoon. I should really buy a ticket to one of the games soon, as they're pretty cheap in the cheap seats. ($7 I think.) After that, I guess I will be hitting the gym for some running on the treadmill. Pretty quiet evening after that.

I'm a little aprehensive about tomorrow. I'm going to call up the MSN lady either tomorrow or Tuesday (to give her some bearings after being on vacation a week). Truth be told, I'm not sure if I made a good first impression, as I first of all indicated that I was interested in an editing job, as that kind of job is a full-time permenant gig, unlike the writing gigs, which seem to be all freelance. Hopefully, I'll be able to win her over.
