the CD from ‘The Christmas Album: A Tribute To Phil Spector’ was on repeatedly most of these days (see the playlist link above). That was a new fad CD released for Christmas 2003, which the Overgoddess had bought.

Approximately around this time, I was into Philip Pullman's ‘His Dark Materials’ Trilogy and was constantly reading it. I evidently read it all in late December 2003, because there is no mention of it in the January 2004 entries and the Christmas CD was only introduced in December 2003.
