Hmm.

Been thinking about getting a 'spare' lightbox for a while now; I'm keeping my old one at Trinity to use while I practise, but bringing it home on weekends etc. is something of a pain. Also it's not as bright as the newer ones, and it's noisy (newer ones are silent), and the newest one can run from a battery which would be handy at times.

So. The model I want is the Litebook Elite.

I can buy it in Saskatchewan (at London Drugs of all places) for CAD$199.99, or on eBay for £149, or from Litebook for USD$279.

Um.

Yeah, guesswhat? I think I buy one in Canadia and bring it back with me.

ARGH

Why is there a WASP in the loft? Bloody big one, too.

*scared*

(no subject)

Class went really well.

I like learning this stuff. It tickles my brain! It stretches! I might go get that Schoenberg book out of the library to read over my trip to Canadia. Does that make me a hopeless swot? I don't care, you know.

( academic stuff, probably meaningless if you haven't got a strong theory background and not necessarily coherent if you have )

I'm feeling a little less happy about the improvisation class, which I find rather on the ill-defined side, and don't enjoy as much as I hoped I would. I'm considering whether it's worth trying to switch to conducting. I think the only sane way to do this would be to do some of the work the conducting class has already done while I'm away over Christmas; I'll at least talk to Student Services and find out what's involved. In the meantime I'll stick with the improv class for now and see whether things settle a bit.

And then I got a phonecall from my dad, lovely to chat with him, and then people arrived to help me with some packing. By that time I was starving and didn't do as much packing as I'd hoped but went to ASDA (ugh) for foods and free boxes, came back, ate foods, and eventually settled down to some packing in the living room. Result? 5 blue bags emptied, 3 boxes packed and labelled, 1 full-to-overflowing "to get rid of" box, 1 moderately full binbag. I think the next step is getting rid of the things in the "to get rid of" box (some are for eBay, some are for donation), then repeating the process with remaining bags. Then I get to start bagging the things in other parts of the house too.

And now it's late, I'm tired, and I'm off to bed.
