The Long-Expected Monday 

The long-awaited, and definitely needed, break has arrived. Or, will be arriving soon. Thank carrot. I can't wait to actually get home.

Using an external player (Winamp, in my case) has solved my Last.fm radio multi-tasking problems. The bandwidth usage is acceptable, too (~20 kB/s). Thus far, I'm very satisfied.

Also in the news... Started the sixth Kate Elliot's Crown of Stars book today. Between it and George R.R. Martin's Feast for Crows, I decided on the more simple one. The Feast will require me to re-read the first three books, and I don't feel up to it at the moment.
