Your latest purchases, cont.

Getting ready to run out and grab a little takeout lunch. Don't really feel like cooking anything this afternoon. I just have to decide which restaurant to go to.
 
I just ordered this cross stitch chart:

One of my dad's favorite movies (mine, too). I hope I can finish it before his birthday!
 
Well, technically I ordered/bought it a while ago but my fibre-optic connection finally got activated today. It's only FTTC but once the connection settles down over the next week, I should get about 75/25 download/upload speeds according to the connection checker the engineer used. Already I'm getting about 50/15. Coming from about 2.5/0.5, the improvement is wonderful. Admittedly, the only benefit I notice is when watching streaming video in HD as I'm a fairly typical user that doesn't do anything else particularly speed-intensive, but it's still nice to be able to watch in HD. No more buffering icon. :)
 
^ I've been meaning to do the shopping since Monday and haven't found the time. I'm not quite sure how I'm still finding stuff to eat, actually. I really can't remember putting in half the stuff I've found in the freezer...
 
maybe...

I'll admit, More Than You Think You Are has been a stable on my Ipod since i bought it really... fantastic album :D

Think i'll wait until you get it, so you can let me know if it's worth it or not lol

OK, got the album and have listened to the whole thing. On the whole, a good album but not as good as "Mad Season" or "More Than You Think You Are." "North" has a slightly more "dance club-ish" sound to it. My favorite songs are Parade, English Town and Sleeping at the Wheel, which are, I think, more introspective & melodic. Put Your Hands Up and Our Song are VERY catchy, but a bit too dance-club style--but I will admit that Our Song is very catchy; it might be one of those songs I like better after hearing it a few more times. Overall, a good album at least three songs are going straight to my MP3 player, but it's still not my favorite MB20 album to date.

My two cents.
