the right music can really renew your energy when you’ve been working late nights for a few weeks - today’s saviour: Unwritten Law
Fireworks outside my office for the IDOL finale - nice pick me up for working late on a Sunday night
One of my favourite songs of all time: (Can’t You) Trip Like I Do - Crystal Method & Filter ..bad movie, but amazing soundtrack
do you have any great success with iTunes Genius? sometimes the playlist it comes up with is just odd.. and not like the seed song at all
i think my late nights have started to catch up with me - i feel like crap (looking forward to some early nights soon)
