It's kinda fun driving on ice. Admittedly, in a 4x4, and not my own vehicle. Otherwise I probably wouldn't go faster than 2mph. But seriously, there's a bit of a thrill to it. I've never had a really serious skid or slide, and I've always been able to counter any times I have felt the van start to go, but there will always be that part of me that thinks "You're Colin MacRae!!!". You know, apart from the fact he's dead. I just don't know the names of any other rally drivers. There is a serious thrill to it. Which is sort of a bad thing.

Yeah, so anyway, I actually finished work on time today, for the first time ever, on that round. Admittedly, there's like 50 people picking their mail up from the Post Office because they feel their drives are too dangerous for me to get up to, but it totally still counts. Oh, and I was meant to wash the van in that time. Which I did not.

I got a load of new tunes today, mostly John Mayer. Man, that dude makes some chilled out music!! There's a real Jack Johnson vibe to the guy.

I just saw a trailer for the new Alice in Wonderland movie. It looks pretty fantastic, surreal, and creepy. In the 5 seconds that Johnny Depp was in it, he looked brilliant. As to be expected. The soundtrack looks good too: Avril Lavigne, Owl City, Motion City Soundtrack, Mark Hoppus & Pete Wentz, All Time Low, Metro Station etc etc.

Also, the snow does seem to be, finally, melting. At last!! Hopefully I'll be able to go out running again soon!

I'll throw in an Owl City song today. I fell in love with this the moment I heard it. It's just sublime, and they are tipped to take the UK by storm in 2010.

Right, don't get me wrong. As a kid, I loved the snow. I have very fond memories of snow days and school being cancelled, of sledging down the awesome hill at Nathan's house, of trying to build the most amazing snowman. However, this past couple of weeks have been a bit of a snow overload.

There's at least a good 14 inches of snow, still lying, in my garden. Every morning my car has another white blanket covering it.

My job is perhaps one of the worst in the world, in this weather. It would of course help if the council made some sort of effort to clear the snow on the pavements, or at the very least, make some sort of clear route. This is apparently a no no. The snowy slush in car parks in the village is disgusting.

But whatever, nothing I can do about it, so I will shut up about it. Enjoy my photo of the snow, as seen from my bedroom window.

I tried to insert a chart of my most listened to artists of the past week, from Last.fm. But it doesn't seem to be working for some unknown reason. It woulda been kinda interesting!! This past week, I had some major cravings for some good old pop tracks from when I was like 14 or so. Back then my musical knowledge was nothing more than what MTV and the "Now Thats What I Call Music" CDs contained.


Thank God that changed.

Although there's nothing wrong with the occasional listen to 5ive, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, S Club 7, Boyzone and Robbie Williams. Right?
Right?!


Oh, and referring back to my first blog, I switched my phone back on today after a good day and a half of downtime. I tragically missed some calls from the Post Office. Which didn't open yesterday due to the owners travelling back from London, and their cover calling in sick. Oh dear, what a pity. Oh well, nevermind.


Shall I add another song to my playlist? I might as well. I guess it will have to be something retro and poppy. Everybody Get Up by 5ive? Yeah, I dare you not to love it.
