SO MUCH FUNCategory: music
Girl Talk's latest album Feed the Animals is super awesome. I'm having so much fun listening to it today. (Remix/mashup/dj stuff)
It is available online, set-your-own-fee-or-free (like Radiohead's last):
Seriously best new thing I've listened to all year.
Track 12 from the album:

Quit SmokingCategory: life
I haven't smoked all week, except one on Monday morning. So far so good. Definitely have mood swings. Well more like a permanently shitty mood. Getting better today. Haven't killed anyone yet. Thanks for putting up with me James :)
As incentive to quit, I bought myself a ridiculously nice, but used so not too expensive, chair. Definitely worth the money considering I sit in it for like 2100 hours a year. The one I had before was so crappy and badly fitting I was starting to get pains and aches by the end of the work day. Yuck, not worth it. My body didn't come with a warranty.
I think without James' encouragement and my self-bribery I wouldn't have been able to quit. Feels pretty good!

Great job! You should be proud of yourself. By tomorrow you can be assured that the physical addiction is over. From that point on it is the emotional addiction. Just take it one urge at a time I say. It does pass without smoking so don't get discouraged.

Nice one bruv. Even if there is an occasional slip don't let it bother you for too long. That stuff is hard to quit cold turkey. Our grandfather did it though (he was diagnosed with diabetes at the time) so I've seen with my own eyes that it can be done. I admire people that try this, and I'm not a smoker. Keep it up!
