Prezzies!

Today, I got another package from Amazon. (There are a total of four on their way, two from Amazon USA and two from Amazon UK.) It contained:
- Season 4 of "Angel" - possibly their best season, marked by the Rain of Fire, the return of Angelus and of Faith, and the Jasmine arc;
- a Skeeter Davis CD containing, among other things, "The End of the World" (her best-known single) plus covers of "Blueberry Hill", "Son of a Preacher Man", and "Angel of the Morning". (Or was she the first to record that last one? Answer: no.);
- Mr. Mister's "Welcome to the Real World", including "Kyrie" and "Broken Wings";
- John Barnes' Earth Made of Glass, the sequel to A Million Open Doors (which I reviewed a while ago); and
- Going Nucular: Language, Politics, and Culture in Confrontational Times by Geoffrey Nunberg, a regular on the American Dialect Society list.

Methinks I'll be occupied for the next while...

(A couple of days ago, I picked up CDs by Chicago and Boston as well; with the Carole King album that's coming in the next package, I'll be close to enough for another playlist.)
