iTunes, iPod and some Melancholia

iTunes 5 out there now for download. Am liking the playlist folders.

What of the ipod mini? Are they going for an all white line up? Like those pretty lollipop iMacs, the multicoloured mini's are gone from the Apple site, well for the present anyway. I prefer the look of the mini to this nano thing.(though I will be going to the Apple store soon to have a gander (oh the punnery)).
iPod pico next? some kind of 10GB little iPod? Cos there's a gap at the mo between 4 and 20 GB. For me 4 is too small and that 20GB is too big for my pocket. I feel perhaps some of these new bigger tiny drives will be featuing in a smaller iPod soon. I "feel" - make that I would really like.

I'm having a look at this timer thing. ("Designer's time clock")

The line in a Belle and Sebastian song "everyone she knew thought she was beautiful, only slightly mental". wonderful lyrics.

A year is nothing anymore. i am a young duck and i feel so old. I feel that I am waiting to live, in a queue and soon I will be dead standing in line. I don't know what I'm waiting for. Permission or something.

The nights are drawing in. It's reminding me of last year and that is sucking happiness from me. I remember when the long nights used to seem mysterious and exciting. Beautiful and cosy. Now they make me melancholy. Have you ever seen duck weep?

In the spring the lengthening days depress me; in late summer the shrinking daylight depresses me. today is the first day this summer I have really felt that winter is on the way. This should be a good thing, as I like Winter.
I don't think listening to Belle and Sebastian is helping. I'm going to try the Distillers.

Sometimes I think I'm stuck in the past.
