Ooh, Shiny Things, Ani DiFranco Style

When I got home from work Thursday, I saw that the mailbox was not closed all the way and that something reddish/magenta was sticking out of it a bit.
Opening the mailbox, I saw that there was a package in metallic red/magenta mailing paper that looked more liked wrapping paper for a wedding/shower gift; it was jammed in the mailbox, so I had to wrestle it out. My slight confusion turned to a smile when I saw the Righteous Babe Records return address sticker on the package, which turned out to be an advanced review copy of Ani DiFranco's new CD, "Red Letter Year."
This will certainly help what is looking like a blah Friday morning.
