Procrastination at its finest

I should be doing an essay. It's due in a week today. So, I've decided to start by updating my blog. My mum once said to me I could 'make a tune out of a wet fish'. And it's true to an extent - I have a natural ability to hear a sound that is repeating itself over and over (a squeak as a tumble dryer spins, for example) and immediately start making up beats and little rhymes that go in between each 'squeak' until I have some rudimentary tune. And it's the same with essays - I have a brilliant ways of finding new and imaginative ways of wasting time I could be spending researching online, finding quotes in books and planning. I will do some today, I've actually had a rather productive day so far. But I knew I needed to update here first as I didn't yesterday.

I reshuffled my MP3 today. This is a time-consuming and slow exercise that would not be necessary if I had an iPod. Essentially, I have about 25/26GB of music on my computer at home. When I want to reshuffle my MP3, I have to choose what songs from this collection I want to fit onto a 4GB player. All my Iron Maiden would fill half of it. And because everything has to be in alphabetical order, I have to delete every folder and put them on again, one after the other. Also, to avoid disappointment, I have to work out how big each folder is and then add them up so I can fit it all on. Yeah, it's laborous, but worth it in the end. However, having a 160GB iPod would cover it all in one shot, and would set me up for life more or less - my music collection is only gonna grow.

Did you have snow this weekend just gone? We did, but then it rained and washed it all away. Still, on the bright side, we've avoided all the chaos and disruption that other places have had. Disruption which led to rehearsal on Sunday being cancelled, not that it mattered to me as I wasn't needed. Instead, I was a guest on the Drama Soc Radio Show on a Sunday. I loved it, always loved being on the radio and it was great to sit with a few mates for two hours in a small booth and chat rubbish.

One last thign before I go and actually DO some work: everyone should get one of these.
