Waste management..

Playlist
Yes – Best of (Jukebox Playlist)
Muse - Black Holes and Revelations
Various – Three Minutes or so (Jukebox Playlist)
Various – Songs selected from the CD collection

Read this and see if you think I wasted a day of my life today...

Spent around three hours maintaining this diary, compiling a new Yes playlist which would make a fine 3CD set, compiling and burning the first of a couple of various artist CDs for Meg the Black Cat’s ex-mum, Julia, and generally surfing around the net...

Made breakfast of coffee and toast...

Spent more time on the computer, ripping recent CDs to MP3s and transferring them to the jukebox, and generally surfing around the net...

While Anne was out at the Golf Club near her mum’s house watching the Hibs v Hearts game (Hearts scraped a 2-2 draw), I spent more time generally surfing around the net, brought my matrix of singles I’ve liked up to date (over the last year or so) by consulting websites which list weekly new releases and then watched the first two episodes of the new BBC 1 Saturday Night series, “Robin Hood” which was quite entertaining...

On Anne’s return, we watched two episodes of “Arrested Development” taped last Sunday (with two more to follow “live” later)...

During this glotzfest, we ordered, received and devoured a Chinese meal....

So that’s Indian takeaway on Friday night, French restaurant on Saturday night and Chinese takeaway on Sunday night – no wonder I look the way I do in this photo – but how come Anne retains her looks and figure...

Curse you God for making me this way (as Richard Herring might say)...

While Anne checked the various Hearts websites before tonight’s episode of “Coronation Street”, I caught some of a programme on Channel Four about the ideas behind the book “The Da Vinci Code” re the supposed conspiracy to remove the influence of women from all the great religions of the world. If nothing else, the documentary explained what all the fuss was surrounding Salman Rushdie’s “The Satanic Verses”...

After “Corrie”, Anne spent an hour on the web re Hearts again, while I chose a selection of CD tracks to entertain us...

Then, while Anne watched Jane Eyre I returned to the “Three Minutes or so” playlist I compiled today (by merely selecting all the tracks on the Jukebox which time at between 2:55 and 3:05 – 863 in total) and wrote this...

Later we’ll watch “Match of the Day 2” and more “Arrested Development”

So, is that a waste of a day?

Highlight of the Day : probably Robin Hood – though I’m not fully ensnared just yet
