Recreate Abandoned

For the first time in just-about-ever, I abandoned a post.

I don't usually do that. I may gratuitously edit it, I may cut out sections like they were candy, but I have never abandoned a whole post just because it wasn't working. I've saved it for reference, but I'm not going to publish it. It's mainly observations on how fast time travels now I'm older, but I'm not recreating it through lament, it's gone.

I'm about to sleep, but while Azumanga Daioh copies to my hard drive, I'm going to type.

I'm seeing Shun tomorrow, I'm helping him move in, and helping him get Carlos's stuff from one side of the street to the other. It's heavy though, so it needs work. And later tomorrow, Yoko needs a lift to the airport, so I'll take her in. It's the last time I'll see her until my trip. All this makes the past few days quite busy. I saw Dan today, and I paid of Julia for her ring. Which was a relief, she won't be hating me anymore. And Dan played an old radio show he was a star of, which was actually hilarious, and made me want to just Podcast with him. While I'm away I might Podcast via Skype, which would be cool. I'd like to have one going. It's a sort of more powerful internet presence than just a blog. And if it can be as funny as his then we'll certainly be a hit. Any suggestions for names would be appreciated. Comment Box below. For those of you who are not aware of Podcasts, they are basically downloadable radio broadcasts to be played on iPods at the listener's leisure. An a related note, I have finally found myself wanting to purchase an iPod. It has been a long time, but I might just want to get one if this BitTorrent stuff continues. I tell you, Apple has benefited from this illegal file trading more than anyone else.

After seeing Dan, and finding his computer still sucks, I went with Becky to see War of the Worlds. I didn't find it as compelling as reviewers had said, but the effects were stunning, and it was a very tense movie, and I enjoyed it. It wasn't Sin City (spot the Sin City reference earlier in the post). I might actually be seeing aforementioned brilliant film for a third time in the cinema, which would be the first time since I was 11 that I saw a film three times in the cinema (the last being Independence Day).

The music has been increasing in volume (as in amount, not decibels). I have without realising, amassed something like 1.4 GB in a few days. It took years to get a collection of hundreds of miscellaneous songs, but very few complete albums, and now in such a short time, I have complete albums with much better taste compared to the selections I made 5 years ago. The Azumanga Daioh DVD of all the episodes is almost complete. As it ejects, I shut down and sleep. I need to be up at 10AM to get things done. I think I can manage that.

DVD done. Aphex Twin download initialised. Time to sleep. Goodnight.
