Remember Me?
Hello everyone, remember me?
What a week I seem to be in the middle of. I’ve had so much stuff to do with university, driving and various other personal things over the last few days that I’ve hardly spent any time online at all.
Anyway, first things first, let’s rant about what’s happening now at this very moment. It’s almost 2am and there’s a police helicopter flying around outside. Lots of light, lots of noise, not easy to sleep through. Ontop of that, I’ve been having trouble sleeping because of some nasty toothace during the past few nights, mostly due to wisdom teeth…painful little things.
Apart from the university stuff and the driving stuff, I’ve been sorting though lots of music for the party coming up this friday night. In total I need enough music to keep everyone happy for about 3 hours. That’s not as easy as it sounds. I think I’ve got enough music now to last that long, but obviously different people like different kinds of music, so there’s always going to be somebody unhappy with what’s playing. It’s very hard to please everyone. I’ve got lots of the music arranged into mini playlists now so as I can at various points set a list playing in AtomixMP3 and then leave the deck playing, giving me time to walk around enjoying the party. Usually I wouldn’t do that at a disco (unless I was feeling really lazy :P), but as this one is a farewell party mostly full of my own friends, I figure I’m allowed to on this occassion. 
Damn helicopter, it’s right above the house now.
Other events this week included a rather interesting day out on Saturday. Firstly, the wheel trim on the front left wheel fell off on a roundabout and was immediately hit by a lorry, therefore transforming it into several hundred gears. On the way home, the clutch decided to brake just as we joined the motorway. After coasting at 50mph for about 3/4 of a mile (hey, that’s actually quite impressive! :P) we came to a halt at the top of the exit ramp where we had to wait two hours for a recovery truck to arrive from a depot so close to where we had broken down that we could see it! To top things off, the place we had to sit to wait for the recovery vehicle came free with a dead animal, attracting swarms of flies around where we were waiting. I’d loved to have sat somewhere else, but leaving the car unattended in it’s current location was not exactly…advisable. On the upside, it didn’t rain all day! 
I expect to have a busy day tomorrow too. I have another driving lesson booked, I still have lots of party things to sort out, plus we should finally be ordering the parts for my brothers new computer tomorrow, meaning I’d better actually draw up a list of what those parts are. :S
Until next time…
