We stopped in Circuit City today. Didn’t buy anything, but took the opportunity to browse all of their overpriced merchandise (an example – Wipeout Fusion for the PS2 is $20 online, yet they were selling it for $50 – outrageous!). Electronic-related stuff makes me drool, as does music and movies. So even though we didn’t buy anything, it was still nice to look around. I saw a very sweet 19″ LCD monitor that I want. It’s less than what my current Sony 19″ cost a few years ago. I also was looking at a Sony computer that had some really nice flat speakers that kicked out some incredible sound. The music playing was by DJ Precision and was labeled as European Trance. Oh yea, I love that stuff so much. For the 10 days I spent in London I listened to their radio stations more than I have here in the past 10 years. Why? Because they have stations devoted to trance, techno, dance, etc. instead of just rock, alternative, boring-same-old-blink182-sounding-artists and country music here. But I digress.

\nI’ve never heard of this DJ but now I want to find some of his stuff because it was really good. Oh yea, that’s also how I learned about the newest Winamp which I must say I’ve been messing with all day today and really love. I loaded all my MP3s into the library and am having a fun time searching through all my music, not to mention the streaming radio stations online.<\/p>\n
I also got to actually hold a Canon 300D. Man, that plastic sure is lightweight and cheap feeling, but the camera has so many cool features and it focuses lightning fast compared to my Nikon. I really really want a digital SLR now more than before!<\/p>\n
We headed over to Tower Records after Circuit City since The Cure re-released a single of Pictures of You yesterday that I wanted. I was rather disappointed to find that Tower didn’t have it. Poo on them! I used to shop there all the time when I worked in the city but they are way overpriced (remember Musicland and the I-can’t-believe-it-still-exists overly-priced Coconuts).<\/p>\n
I could have died and gone to heaven in their Trance\/Dance section though. All those colourful covers beckoning to me. I could easily spend hundreds in that place. Instead I listened to a few feature cds and ended up adding the newest Paul Oakenfold album to my wishlist over at cduniverse.com when I got home. I don’t link to it here because I use it for my own purposes and don’t actually expect anyone to buy me something for nothing. Although it IS still my birthday. ;)<\/p>\n
Anyway … I am itching to buy some new music. I’ve got 300 cds and nothing to listen to. Kinda like the whole 200 channels and nothing to watch syndrome. I am so tempted to make my way over to Evil Clown<\/a> and sample a bunch of trance cds and then come back home and order them online for cheaper. *Sinister laugh*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We stopped in Circuit City today.
