snow!

it was snowing for about an hour this morning. the first snow of the season. definitely adds to the holiday ambience.

the other night i met up with sarah's design assistant at juicy couture who's in paris for a couple of weeks. it was kind of funny meeting up with her because we had no idea what each other looked like. when she called me to make plans, she had a spanish accent, and when ignorant jane went to find her at our meeting spot, the last person i thought to approach was a korean girl with a green scarf (what the girl over the phone said she would be wearing). after that was cleared up (mackenzie pointed out, "she's the only one here wearing a green scarf"), it turns out that she grew up in argentina and spanish is her first language. okay, i guess i wasn't that off, but the awkward-meeting-experience definitely taught me a lesson. anyway, she's super cool and it was nice exchanging backgrounds and ideas with her. maybe we'll meet up again before we both leave paris for the holidays.

i started a tradition a couple years ago to make my dad a CD entitled dad and the drums once a year with songs, in my opinion, that have amazing drum sequences he can play along to whenever he practices. this year i had a hard time finding music to put on the CD so i did some research online and found this website that lists the 100 Greatest Rock Drummers. this site is so funny because when you scroll down there's bulletin where you can post your opinion on how accurate the list is. and after reading some of the comments, i laughed imagining how cute it would be if my dad went online - he's never been - and chatted with other drummers. i thought of my bro as well because the list seems to agree with his favorites.
