I like to shop…..let me re-phrase that….I like to go shopping, I like to have things…but I don’t like opening my purse. I love going to Zavvi- the music store that has taken over from Virgin Megastores, but I rarely buy anything (the last thing I bought in there was a dvd- Ned Kelly- the one with Heath Ledger- which cost me £3)(the fact that I can remember £3 indicates just how much of a miser I actually am). Zavvi is the place where I bought my OC boxsets (well, 3 of them anyway, I got Season 1 in Tesco), and these are undoubtedly some of the best buys of my life, (the fact that less that a year ago I paid £25 for each season and they now cost £16 aside) and I always think of that fateful day when I walk through the doors of the Foyleside branch of Zavvi. But right now I am a little peeved with the shop. I have a number of interests, all of which can be accessed from my sofa, bed or any other type of chair, and one of them is Country Music. In Zavvi, Country artists are found in the section named ‘Alternative’. Alternative??? Alternative to what?? Music stores are supposed to know something about music, so why not call a very much loved genre it’s proper name?? Yes, this is all irrelevant in the great scheme of things but I hate to think that in the age of ‘Techno’ ‘House’ or whatever else they are calling the latest branch of computer manufactured, soul-less dance music these days, more meaningful types of music are being ignored. And no, I’m not 72, I’m sixteen, half the people of my age group listen to that stuff but I don’t care- Keep her country, that’s what I say!
Ranting over, what am I getting up to these days? Well, I’m doing coursework- I can hardly contain the smile that’s spreading over my face as I think about it, and I’m doing coursework. I’m also doing normal homework, supposed to be studying, and becoming more and more addicted to msn. Social life??? You have got to be kidding!! The t.v consumption (that’s not really the right word) has decreased alot, it’s hard to get through an average of 5 hours a day when you have to go to school, but I’m making a pretty good stab at it at the weekend! I’ve also began reading The Deathly Hallows- the last Harry Potter book, and I really need to say that killing off Lupin, Tonks, Dobby, and especially Fred Weasly was a bit far. I’m not finished it yet, so I hope no-one else dies, because I just don’t know if I could accept it, it’s so sad!!
Yap later!!
