1 down.... 4 to go....

a depressing title if there ever was one, yes 1st exam is done, finished and ermm... well thats all the good things about it, the less said the better me thinks. Still, i took tremendous joy in returning a stash of textbooks to the library today straight after the exam finished, so now my cupboard looks a little emptier.

so yes.. 4 to go.. next one thursday. Bring it on so to speak.

Still no merryweather post pavillion to report upon. Im now thinking this has to do with Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust as when ordering records off the internet i have a problem with ordering just the 1 record, £60 later i wish this problem did not exist. So yes im now blaming sigur ros for my non-arrival of animal collective.

Why?! well i upon hearing that Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust was being released on vinyl i straight away ordered it off amazon.co.uk. This was set to arrive before i broke up for uni before christmas, then in the last week of term a delay and delivery now expected in time for christmas. Delivery address changed and then just after christmas a second delay, now expected just before i return to Bath. Having returned to uni empty handed a week later i had an email about it being cancelled and my money refunded. Then it came to pre-ordering animal collective, and i noticed recordstore said that sigur ros was in stock so i obviously ordered i copy amongst other things. Out of curiousty i had a scout round on the internet for Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, how recordstore have it been despatched within 3-14 days im not quite sure. HMV say this record is out of stock, and Amazon.com says its not in stock til Jan 20th, and amazon.co.uk says sign up to know when this becomes available. Now i have no insider knowledge on the in and outs stocks n how these companies work, but the sigur ros site only links you to HMV and amazon and well if there not in stock there i some how doubt very much that recordstore have copies. So how this links to Merryweather post pavillion... I clicked send by courier as it was a lot cheaper, so that means waiting until all my orders are available for me to recieve all my orders. so yes its all sigur ros' fault or my lack of money to buy their limited ed. deluxe package, which looks ever so sexy, and then i would not be having this problem.

yes i do realise that most orders take 3-14 days to be dispatched and animal collective was released monday and today is tuesday im just a tad impatient when it comes to records n gigs n generally anything music related. However im a pretty patient person overall.

and another thing 24!!!!! oh my golly god! i forgot how much i love this show.
4 episodes in two days = heaven.
