play that jukebox melody
Upside: Finally bought myself a new stereo and have dragged myself, kicking and screaming and clutching at stackers, into the twenty-first century. But yes, as soon as it began, I was quite quite charmed by my very first ever iPod dock. And it's given me part of a wall back cos with the old stereo gone, the new iPod dock looks much better between my two CD racks rather than to one side. And yeah, new layout ftw!
It is shockingly small, though. But the sound is awesome. Truly awesome. And hah, took me a whole hour of lying in bed, listening and watching it play, to realise "um, my new stereo looks like boobies." Well, the speakers sort of curve out, you see, and the iPod sits neatly between them ... christ, no wonder I picked that one out of all the docks on offer. My brain, it has the sex on it. Clearly.
It's incredible though how my mood improved so fast. All of a sudden, my life looked like fun, chores looked worth doing, energy seemed worth expending, the studio looked so much lovelier again. Suddenly I was living The Life again. And oh yes, already I'm contemplating the way ahead for Arushka and anticipating NaNo in less than a month.
Downside: Quite distressed to check my friends page tonight and discover Joseph Gordon-Levitt's brother Dan has passed away. Whut?! HOW?! Why?! Omg, poor Joe. I know, my reaction's kinda ridiculous. But jesus, if you spend any time at all on hitrecord --- and I only spent a little before freaking out and going "okay, too close now, back away now, dri!" --- you'd know the significance of him. Oh man.
Funny how when people further away from the tragedy have the greater luxury of being able to express grief. Funny how that works.
