I stopped writing. I stopped posting things on my lovely blog. But now I’ve decided to get back at it. To this end, I’ll be posting a mix of various things every Monday. Yes: just because of the alliteration. “Monday Mix” has a good ring to it! A “mixtape,” a master list, a massive infodump. At times, an actual list of things I’ve done or of ideas I’m thinking. Every Monday this year. Or so I intend.
Here’s my first Monday Mix–my current Top 25 songs from iTunes according to number of plays. It says something of my aesthetic, my interest, my aural love. It says something about me. I hope you enjoy.

Extra points for those who can discern a) my age, b) where I grew up, c) my religious affinity. Happy new year.
