well, I'm pissed off. As anyone who's known me for any length of time will know, I've been an ardent anti-smoker for years. It's just horrible, and smelly, and disgusting.

Have spend the last couple of days off and on, ripping all of A and I's cds to mp3. We have 1670 songs, 5 days worth of music and 9.74 gigabites. Amazingly 333 of these songs are mind (what a nice round number!) Who knew I had so much music? I think I've found music I'd forgotten about ( Read more... )

well, I've been to the doctor's this morning, and I have a viral infection of the glands in my face, which may or may not be mumps. They've taken a swab, but those results don't come back for a week ( Read more... )
