After spending hours trying to decipher the literary and cultural differences between Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen; James Joyce's "Eveline" and James Joyce's "Araby;" and commodification and serialization, my mind is ready for a rest.
Sounds like a perfect excuse for taking a break, sipping hot cocoa, and putting together a winter break playlist. Some are new to the iPod, others were last year's favorites, and a few are golden oldies (i.e. Hanson). I need an interesting mix to keep me amused for my two-hour trek home.
