And it’s not like I really feel like sitting down and doing something ‘useful’ right now. So I’m going to settle for the next best thing – listening to some good music, learning some new graphical techniques and maybe coding a little. Because even if these things aren’t directly useful, I’m hoping I can get in the mood to do something. If not, I’m still learning.

I’ve (re-)discovered Last.fm recently. And I’m wondering why in the hell I stopped using it. Although, using three music programs concurrently seems a bit excessive. I have to ask myself a couple of questions before sitting down to listen to music:

• Do I know what I want to listen to? Yes – go to next question. No – Last.fm
• Do I own what I want to listen to? Yes – iTunes. No – Check Spotify for it.
• Is it on Spotify? Yes – Spotify. No – YouTube and get frustrated at having to physically change tracks every 3-4 minutes.

So, listening to random things on Last.fm at the moment. Which is always good. And I’m learning how to make realistic-looking planets using photoshop. Which may lead to a celestial-type desktop background at some point, if I can actually make any of it look decent.

And at some point tonight, I intend to start messing with some stuff in Flash. It’s been a while since I did any ActionScript, so I think a recap can do no harm. Also, I really need to print off CSS3 and HTML5 cheat-sheets. No idea where I’m going to stick them, but they’re useful things to have knocking around.

Epic D&D session tomorrow (supposed to be about three hours, good times) so I’ll have to finalise my character backstory tonight. Looking forward to finally using my smexy transparent dice. Ah, the geekiness.
