Today qualified as Day Two of massive drag. Ugh.

Amazon Japan and DHL impressed me with “Next Day AM” shipment of a package. I was so impressed that it didn’t faze me when “AM” wound up being “early afternoon” (really, it’s still crazy: from Japan to my door in 24 hours!). Anyway, as a result of this speedy shipment I now have Angela’s Sora no Koe and Maaya Sakamoto’s Shounen Alice. (Marin got some manga, too—I’m not stupid enough to buy only two items from Japan.)

As a result of getting these CDs, I fired up iTunes and resynced my iPod for the first time in over a month. (The iPod is the only thing that keeps me sane at work most days, so it easily qualifies as one of my better purchases.) Only I got mildly ambitious—the only type of ambition one can have when one is dragging—and decided to go through my library and weed out songs I didn’t really need on my iPod, before syncing.

That’s why I’m up at 1:00 am. I weeded out songs for two and a half hours. Manalive.
