Friday Music 08-02-08
Yeah so I miss one Friday due to work (which is where I normally write all my rantings) being a nightmare and this week hasn't been any different! Sorry about this, normal service will be resumed as soon as possible. Anyway, as a result of all that I have been mainly listening to stories, we now have all of Terry Pratchett's books as MP3's and I recently discovered a download of some Roald Dahl stories from the Telegraph, of all places! They're pretty good too, the odd annoying song, but some of the favourites like Matilda and The BFG are there.
I am about halfway through Phillip Pullman's The Amber Spyglass, mentioned a few Fridays ago - which is my soundtrack to and from work.
As you can see below, we have finally built some CD shelves in the 'Play Room' in our new house and filled them up with our combined collections. We both put a LOT of CD's in the charity box and I am in the process of ripping another load - to be disposed of, once they are safe on a NAS (for the awesome Sonos system).
I install some tasty speakers (see pic, above) into our bedroom ceiling - the room will be almost completely wireless once our cupboards are built in and the bathroom also has a waterproof ceiling speaker connected to the bedroom system via a switch! Now we can pipe hideous noise into the bathroom while you're trying to have a quiet poo.
I try to sell a load of equipment too, like my tasty Line 6 Amp and my Yamaha SY77 Keyboard (it's a CLASSIC!) - but there are no takers as yet. I steel myself to attempt to sell them on Ebay, to get hideously abused and mentally destroyed by the awfulness of online bidding. Or something. Anyway, I'm writing all this in a rush before I finally escape this place for the weekend...
