Hello everyone, and welcome back to Keeping Up With Cristobal!


On Valentine's Day this year, I met up with my girlfriend (a lavender relationship because I'm queer) Franny at Starbucks. We had a nice conversation with our drinks in hand. After that, we stopped by the thrift store, where I got two blankets.

The first blanket is a designer blanket from the Wags and Whiskers line. It has cute cats, and it has an autumnal theme to it.

The second blanket looked interesting. Probably a retail brand from either Marshalls or TJ Maxx.

I found a good piece of physical media at the thrift store as well. It's a CD of Barbra Streisand's A Christmas Album. I also have a cassette of that album.

I then took Franny to Let's Boogie Records and Tapes; and on our way there, we saw two small dogs, one of them being a chihuahua (Cute!).

We made it to the store, and I got three things.

I got two cassettes at Let's Boogie. The first is The Nutcracker. I kinda own a compilation CD featuring some of the composed pieces from that, but I wanted the album itself.

The second one is the soundtrack to Gone with the Wind. Problematic book and film? Yes. But, I just came for the music.

Ah, the Yusuf/Cat Stevens LP of Mona Bone Jakon. I did get to listen to it on my record player for the first time, and it was marvelous!

So, this has been my haul on Valentine's Day.


That's it for Keeping Up With Cristobal. Thank you so much for reading, and I'll catch you guys in the next one. Later!
