podcasting / mp3 player

Finally I get my first mp3 player! For soo long I have been gagging to get one and it is so good! Before the mp3, I had first of all a tape player (borrowed from the bro - excellent for my USA roadtrip, until the batteries ran out - but otherwise I didnt listen to it), the Minidisc (excellent for everything; great quality sound; atrocious battery life; skips when jogging, even walking sometimes). The iriver combines excellent battery life, 512 MB (enough for a couple of days heavy listening) storage, a radio, inear headphones, and a neck-strap. It is great when running or at work, easy to operate, the player supports ogg, mp3 and wmv. Music transfer is a piece of chocolate fudge cake. mmm.

Im new to podcasting, but am eager to find some good quality shit. bbc podcasting

!!!!!!!!! England Win THE ASHES !!!!!!!!!

England recapture the ashes after dramatically drawing the final game with sensational 152 from Peterson, rightly named man of the match. We were finally bowled out leaving Australia 4 balls (due to lack of light) to get 342 runs. Game drawn, series won. Thank you very much!!! Incredible.

The Last Days

Only twice ever have i 99% nodded off in the cinema, once in the middle of a 4-hour epic documentary on the french resistance during WWII and today. Today I was unfortunate to go and see "Last Days", dreary boring and not much going on. What a struggle to stay awake!

dog day noon

Flat out. Nine through seventy-three.
Quite busy. Running 3 times a week and playing badminton twice. It feels good! It's strange to find myself running, I was the world's biggest anti-running fiend, who mad/stupid enough in their unsane minds would ever even consider runnin? hehe! Me, baby! I've got three routes that I've done so far, between 3 and 4.6 miles. In a weeks time Im doing a charity running race, around the streets of Cambridge.
Not at all hungry. Why is this so? Am I in love? Am I ill? I look at the fridge, then nothing appeals to me. Just been food shopping, ate a coupla porkpies, a morsel of cake, bam no hunger for food. Mebee Im redefning my optimum shape.

Antony and the Johnsons' "I am a Bird Now" won the Mercury Music Prize 2005!!! It's an excellent album, and I definitely recommend you listen it out. Add the magic numbers to your mp3 list too!
