Yes, it's an excuse to show off my new icon, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] crag_du.

Myaarrr, it was a fine weekend and a fine1 last night, even if I didn't get to see Hero.
I am currently coding at the speed of light thanks to the superb collection of new psytrance CD's I picked up from the excellent Psychedelic Dream Temple in Camden on Saturday. Rah. What is it about this music? I really don't know sometimes, it's repetitive, it's samey (a lot of the time) but it just catches my brain and makes it flow.

Music is, it has often been observed, a drug. And my brain certainly reacts to the music I hear, mood swings and feelings kick up and down along with what I'm listening to. I can get myself more out of my head than on any other substance I've known (sugar included) with a song at the right moment in the right club, just loosing it and flowing with it all, maaaah, 'tis wonderous I tell you.

Mind you, the rest of the department here probably think I'm a tad (more) nuts, bopping my head along at a wild rate and bouncing in my chair as I code and type and tweak stuff. Who cares, not I. The scarey thing is I am, best I can work out now, probably the second most senior software engineer in the company. Yurk. This spells dooooomity doooooom, or more hopefully paaaaaaaayity paaaaaaaay. Roll on my next pay review, if I actually have a manager by then.

These new headphones pass their road test, now to try and convince myself not to buy/to buy some kind of mp3 player, again... not that I'll use it much... but it'll be shiney sooooo shiney. Or to start saving for that new computer that I dontreallyneedbutwantbecausebecausebecause.

Weeeeeeebles!

I know exactly what you mean about music, it has the potential to make you really meepy, or make you feel as if you are flying, make you hyper and excited, or just make you calm and nice warm blanky sort of way :)
I want an mp3 player too. The potential of having all my music on one shiny box to carry around makes me go *drooooool*
:)

mmmmmm shiney.

I don't think theres an MP3 player out there with room for all of my music, currently just about to sneak over the 10,000 files mark.

OoooOOOOO!

Well, strictly speaking I'm waiting. What I'd *really* like is a phone/camera/pda/MP3/games player with around 10 gig plus space on it for mp3's, it'll happen...

Me neither. I liked free films at Cineworld better before they sold out.

Apparently not everyone who had a ticket turned up, so if you waited upstairs you could have got in...
