I’ve always had something against anything related to ipods. Whilst I stand by my opinion of ipods I was totally wrong about itunes. My sister loaded it onto my computer a while ago and it took me ages to get rid of it (which I did without even looking at its features) but today I had to download it in order to get a piece of music which I just had to have and I must say I’m very impressed.

I love the ‘smart’ playlists, as they save me a lot of time. I also like the fact that the songs don’t actually have to be in the itunes folder but can be scattered around my computer (which is their current state)

I’m also rather pleased with the itunes music store in terms of convenience (I just popped across the road to a shell station and got a music card) and ease of use.
On the negative side the music is rather a lot more than I think it should be so I’ll stick to using it only when I cannot find the music elsewhere.

On the 22nd of April I hurt my thumb. Colin was chasing me up the stairs trying to whoop me on the butt as you do and I went to defend myself and he accidentally bent back my thumb at a funny angle. My best bet at the time was that I had sprained it.
On the 23rd of April it was sore enough that he had to dress me… well you try doing up your fly without two opposable thumbs.
By the 24th of April I could dress myself but my thumb still hurt.
By the 30th it was sore at the extremes of mobility but not too much of a bother.

Unfortunately its stayed at that phase.

So now nearly a month after the injury I still haven’t regained full mobility… Is this a bad sign??

I’m young I’m supposed to heal faster than this!

Anyways its not an awful bother so I’ll put up with it but I’m going to be really cranky if it doesn’t get better soon. How am I supposed to play my Nintendo DS now!

This week is consulting week at uni otherwise known as STUVAC. So basically I have a week off uni to catch up on all of that stuff I should have been doing earlier. Generally for me this ends up being a bit of a holiday, generally spent watching tv, sleeping in and occasionally pretending to study and justifying why I can leave it until tomorrow.
So far this week (and yes I know there’s only been a day of it) I’ve been very busy, primarily cleaning the house but now that I can move around it without falling over and breaking my ankle I can get down to study which is what I intend to do today…

fun fun.

Hooray for me!
