Idiot

As I mentioned in the previous post I was out for a few drinks last night with a friend. We meet up every month or two and have a fun time talking about film, music, books and life in general. One of the rituals of this is the making and swapping of mixtapes and more recently mix CD's.
It always takes me ages to make a mix so last time we met I was up till 1am or so putting together a really good 2CD comp only to find out I only had 1 CD-R. Irritating. This time I was well covered in that department, lots of CD-R's to hand. I had decided just to burn the comp from last time with a couple of changes but wanted to make another one with live tracks, demos and outtakes as something a bit different. Again I was up until 1am what with compiling, burning and writing of tracklists. What did I do? Left the discs in work. Damn! That was so annoying.

One of the drawbacks of shopping online is you miss the instant gratification of taking home the goods you've bought right there and then. As I've discovered over the last few days though, this is more than made up for by the anticipation of waiting for ordered goods to arrive.
This is especially the case if you're given a tracking number once your order has been dispatched. Much time can be spent checking the website to see where your package was last scanned. Time is also spent speculating what the course of action may be should your package arrive whilst there is no one at home vis a vis alternative pick up arrangements. It's great.
Well, actually no it's not. It's torture. I want my stuff NOW!
Thankfully yesterday I was put out of my misery. Of course I had chosen last night to go out for a few drinks with a friend after work so though my stuff was delivered in the afternoon I wasn't able to get at it until 11.30pm when I got home. It was worth the wait though, the Canon S2IS digital camera is lovely and shiny and has lots of buttons on it. Given the lateness of the hour that's about as much of a review as I can give it just now - apart from the fact that all the reviews were right, there's no way that lens cap is staying on.
