a rather queer video clip via boing boing

had the most glorious, fantastic headache today. tormented me while i was sleeping. and miraculously continued to haunt me after i woke up.

one panadol extra didn't drive it away.

a three hour nap plus another panadol extra finally did the trick.

and hence i declined zf's invite to go catch world cup at clarke quay? (didn't really catch the location. was still reeling from the relief from pain i was actually experiencing.)

and i've come to the conclusion that it might be wise to consider grounding myself at least one day a week. where i spend the day entirely at home. sleeping. catching up on my blogs (managed to read quite a few in my bloglines today. whoopah!) watching my taped shows that i'd missed during the week. reading. basically just some time where i don't need to step out of the flat (preferably) or whereby i stray no more than 5km away from my place.

this way, i can maybe squeeze in my chores and still maintain some shred of sanity.

gosh, already i'm experiencing some hints of monday blues as i think about the work i've to finish on monday morning by lunch. sigh.

at least i'm going away to dive next weekend. sigh.

on another totally unrelated note, my new mp3 player comes with a rather irritating programme that i've to use to drop songs into the player.

it's a sony nw-e005f.

i bought it coz of
  • the price
  • the design
  • the fact that it's a flash-based player
  • that it has a fm tuner
i avoided creative players coz seriously they're quite ugly and they feel rather flimsy.

i avoided ipod coz they just didn't meet my requirements. i wanted a flash-based player with fm tuner capability. and the only flash-based player ipod manufactures is the shuffle. which
  1. doesn't have a lcd screen
  2. doesn't have much functions (including fm tuner, playlists)
  3. itunes never really captured me as it has captured the world. maybe it's coz my comp is rather low on ram. itunes just slows down my computer s o much whenever i run it. and that's why i'm still a winamp user. might switch to something else soon though. hmmm.. consider consider
anyway, so my nw-e005f is not one of those players where you can just drag and drop your mp3s into the player and start playing. likewise the case with ipods i think. so i should just live with the fact that i need to use sonicstage to drop songs in my player

but argh. but it's just so darn irritating that i've to fill in the track details again. did that once so they all look uniform in winamp when i open the playlist in winamp. and now i've to do it again?? argh. or else i can't even tell what songs i'm listening to. ack.

worse news, i can't drop the tracks i've uploaded from one comp to another comp? damnit.

but i've just discovered there's this function whereby the programme can generate random 30minutes long playlists for my listening pleasure.. hmmm..

aiyeee. i so need to play around with the programme and the player. i need more time to slack around. erhg.
