Sleepypete's Pillow

Lol – even the Led Zep, Fleetwood Mac and Pink Floyd ? 🙂

Dreams by Fleetwood Mac is one of the tracks from their Rumours album. Yet Another Movie is from Pink Floyd’s relatively recent “A Momentary Lapse Of Reason” (80s Floyd) while “A Pillow Of Winds” is from their album Meddle, which was the one before Dark Side Of The Moon.

PS When I walk into HMV and Virgin Music, I barely know any of the artists on display now … And I’m 33 !

You must be a whole lot younger than I am, because I am not familiar with any of these! Michele told me to come and see the list!

I have the original Settlers 1 manual with the rest of my manuals 🙂 Complete with copy protection done with 3 icons on the top and bottom of each page …

Masters of Orion 2 gets me like that – it’s such a good strategy game that I keep on going back into it. I’m managing to restrict myself to just one Crushing Victory over the computer before having a break but that Crushing Victory takes like 2 days to play through 🙂

Settlers IV is probably a better game than Settlers II because it’s more free form (no roads) but there’s a sense of satisfaction that comes from knowing your ring-road system gets things moving well around your settlement.

Erm – my GeekStatementAlert just went off with that mention of ringroad systems !

I own Settlers II as well, so I know all about how that game literally snatches hours of your day/night away without you even realizing it.

I got to the point where I said “right no more! I have to do laundry and other chores that have been building up over the last couple of days.”

However, there is something strangely satisfactory about building up your village and army, and then watching as your huge army goes to kick the living daylights out of opposing villages armies lol.

Some of these were very freaky! LoL! A very eclectic mix 🙂

Thanks for the tip off about the nebuliser. I hope not to need it if these meds work.

I used to listen to albums off cds … But that meant I tended to listen to the same things over and over again. Got kinda boring …

I think I prefer the iTunes Party Shuffle method 🙂 It gives me good variation in what I’m listening to, plus the app lets me have an influence on what’s coming up next, unlike a normal Shuffle button.

And with almost 1500 tracks covering 4.2 days of music, there’s almost always something I’ve not listened to for ages 🙂 That’s 121 albums, all of which are cds I’ve imported in.

One slightly downer is that classical doesn’t really work on the laptop, which might change when I acquire one of those Airport Express widgets …

I doubt anyone would recognize what’s on my media player. Bizarre music indeed!

Love the variety in yours, though…sounds like a sonic party lurks in your ears!

This one’s brought to you courtesy of Michele, I saw this and just had to fire up iTunes to see what it would say about me :

Instructions:
1. Open your music library (iTunes, winamp, media player, iPod, whatever)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question below, type the song that’s playing
5. New question — press the next button
6. Don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool

Here goes ! I’m cheating a little with steps 2 to 5 though because I’m taking them from what iTunes Party Shuffle has lined up for me. But I usually listen to my music via Party Shuffle anyway … As per tradition, Youtube links provided where I could find then 🙂

If you join in on these one, drop us a line – but please also let Michele know too 😉 (link up top)

Yeah – Die Another Day was one of the few Bond films I’m not too bothered about.

Toys are fun but a film should really be about the characters primary, instead of the characters being secondary to the flashier toys …

I agree with you on Casino Royale and the revamping of Bond. After the Pierce Brosnan/Halle Barry one, I had sworn I wouldn’t watch another – but my husband convinced me to give this one a go – SO glad I did. I like Bond again!

-by the way, Michele sent me 🙂
