Bad to the bone

Or not as the case may be.

I was up (relatively) bright and early to crack on with my OU work, submitting my TMA for T175 and completing half of this week's unit for M150. I'm easily on schedule and enjoying all of the optional activities and podcasts too. Nobody else has done the online component for M150 yet though, even though it was posted yesterday. I held off replying until today, but still no sign of life in the forum. I hope that the rest of my tutor group are still alive!

From 12 till 3 we tuned into the Adam and Dafydd show on Rhondda Radio via the magic of the internet. You may know Adam as @adamgilder from off of Twitter or via his excellent blog Provoking The Idea Dragon. Anyhoo, him and his mate Dafydd have got themselves a show and jolly good it was too. Some of the playlist was a little ... dated is probably the polite expression ... but they did slip a couple of good tracks in there when the station manager was looking the other way, not least some Green Day for Jan - hurrah! The best bits were the talky bits and mucking around between the records and their special guest interview with a ghost for Halloween made me laugh lots.

After that, I gave in to temptation and bought Rock Band for the iPhone, mainly because @thatrevchap told me too, and also because it is on sale this weekend for a bargainlicious £3.99. Good stuff, not least each track can be played as bass, lead guitar, drums or vocals with considerable differences to the game play in each case. Expect Facebook updates for my scores on this one.

Now, time for light, coffee and Gay Tony. I'll be playing Animal Crossing after 8:00 for KK Slider and also a visit from Jack Pumpkins (or whatever his name is) ...
