I have bought myself an iPod, it is a second hand square one (3rd generation apparently) but it arrived today and I am charging it up now as I type this. I have also ordered an FM gadget which will mean that I can listen to it in the car, which I am looking forward to. There are a variety of radio programmes which I like but which are on while I am working, so I am downloading the podcasts and will listen to them while I drive to and from work.
It is quite exciting.
It is a bit sad that it is exciting, because I ought to think more important things are exciting. I do think other things are exciting too, but at the moment I have a new toy, and do find it exciting.
Having spent all day in a meeting talking about the new computer system for the libraries with two of the company guys, I think getting excited about an iPod is OK really.
I am also pretty excited about my dinner (which is steak).
It doesn't actually take a lot to get me excited.
The question is whether or not this means I am superficial or whether it means I have a great zest for life is a good one, and one to which I have no answer.

Zest for life. I honestly do strongly believe that. It, to me, doesn't imply an absence of a deeper inner life, rather an ongoing ability to maintain a sense of wonder and delight in the world around you. Sort of the opposite of jaded and cynical.
But I may be biased. I too love my iPod and the CBC and BBC downloads I get.....
Which shows are you downloading?
Listen my life is complete with Monday night TV and a hot cross bun from Dorrington's so your I pod is positively intellectual. Check out Mark Kermode's film reviews on Radio 5. Brilliant fun!
Ooh by the way Kieran and Alice are home the weekend you are coming so it should be fun. Let's hope it doesn't SNOW!!!

I have downloaded the Newsquiz, Moneybox and Desert Island Discs so far. I am going to do some music tonight.
Lovely that K&A will be there! Add some more hot cross buns and we will be complete! I have Kate's copy of Cranium here, shall I bring it over?
We already have cranium but it needs some more playdough. Does Brian play Cranium???
