last year about this time, i went to target and bought what i can only call a jambox. it was $20 and generic and i bought it solely for shower-time listening. shortly into our relationship i began to wonder if said jambox was haunted. i began to wonder about the ghost in my jambox- why did it skip that one song on that one cd?? why did it skip that

as a summer project a few years ago, i took it upon myself to find and download the songs on my favorite mixed tapes and convert them to cd. it's nice and all but totally not the same as having an actual tape.

There must have been a disturbance in the force!
I can re-record the tape. No worries. In fact, I've picked up lots of ace stuff lately and was thinking it was probably time for a fresh cassette. In [i]FACT[/i], I've been thinking about getting a soundcard for my laptop so I can hook it up to my decks and record straight to CD. So many people now just don't do cassettes any more. I'd been thinking it was their loss, and they'd come round but there's no sign of them recanting.
So, how [i]are[/i] you getting along?

Normally, I try to average three articles a month. Over the next four weeks I have to complete seven articles, totalling around 10,000 words. God only knows how many phone calls and emails that represents. About a quintillion, I'd guess. I've been getting up at 7am and working till 10pm, then sleeping and doing it all over again. And I've been doing three or four hours a day at the weekend as well.
Until relatively recently, I quite enjoyed these periods of extreme hecticness. I like being under pressure. But it's been incessant, and I'm worried about how I'll cope if I get ill or something. It's not fun any more ( ... )
