New stuff is mine.
Well, about two months ago, it was my birthday. I got, mainly, a lot of cash- which has been since sitting in my bank, furthering the capitalist system- though not by much, it's the Co-op Bank. Still, such reasonable use of my money angered me, so yesterday I bought a new MP3 player.
It's a Creative Zen 16GB- this is quite a good make, and I didn't want to get an iPod because, well, they're pretty costly and I'm on Ubuntu anyway so no iTunes for me. Zens work by using MTP, which is Media Transfer Protocol- it's designed for Windows, but, of course, it works with Linux. The player, a screen protector, a case, and a totally unrelated book all sum to £127- a very nice deal. They should all arrive in about a week- pretty decent.
The book is "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell", which is a book I keep seeing referred to as being good, my kind of thing, so I went ahead and bought it.
Should get another book soon- "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", which a friend has ordered off Amazon for me as a late birthday present. Recommended to me by Sean, I am quite looking forward to reading it as it sounds very interesting.
Hee! New stuff! Woo!
Additionally, Summer is coming and Woodcraft events with them. Verre verre excited.
