There’s always something, isn’t there? Last time it was Big Brother stopping me from posting, this time it’s been organising the music for my other half’s birthday party. Don’t underestimate how hard it is to put together four and a half hours’ worth of music for a party, especially when someone else is dictating which songs they want. Once you’ve squeezed their initial nine-hour selection down to about six, you then have the arduous process of ditching a further twenty or so songs in order to get everything to fit into the allotted time. If I was to do it again (which I will be in a month’s time for her brother-in-law) I’d get a list of about twenty songs which absolutely must be played then whittle down the rest myself. Too long; too slow; GOD I HATE THAT FUCKING BAND; and so on.

Still, it all worked out in the end. And, best of all, everything was being played off my MP3 player so I was able to wander away and drink copious amounts of beer and spirits before making a spectacle of myself on the dancefloor. Result!
