Holidays are good

robinturnerI've spent the whole day listening to music and LJ-ing. For someone with a degree in music and ten years' playing in a band, it's comparitively rare for me to actually put a CD in the player, rather than absent-mindedly tuning into VH1 or Mezzo while waiting for some other program to start. But, as I said in a previous post, listening to Şebnem Ferah's new album prompted me to go through a fair part of my Turkish rock collection today (after annoying the neighbours by playing Erdal Kızılçay's "Yallah" three times at high volume, I'm back with Şebnem). It's been a long time since I've got so into an album that I've played it through, played the tracks I liked again, played some other stuff, then went back and played the whole thing again.
I've also nearly caught up with reading my friends list, which got neglected during Grading Hell, and my post-grading excursion into Windows (aargh!) to indulge in some gaming.
Of course, the nagging feeeling that I should be doing something useful crept in from time to time, so I kept it at bay by cleaning the kitchen and bathroom floors and cleaning the balcony. Well, throwing a few buckets of water at it, anyway. I also ran the dishwasher, though I haven't got round to putting the dishes away. I remember when my wife and I were first debating whether to get a dishwasher (my posisiton on washing dishes was that you should let them pile up for a week, then put on some heavy metal and see how fast you could get through the pile). She mentioned that some people buy dishwashers then complain that it's such a chore having to unload them and put all the dishes back in the cupboard. "Come on, " I said, "Even I couldn't be that lazy!" Oh yes I can.
"Trik trak, trik trak, olur mu hiç çalışmamak?"
Olur. Hem de bal gibi olur.
