Harpsichord!?!

This morning started off strangely as I awoke to find myself hardly able to move my arms or legs. Eventually I became mobile, but I spent the day aching for absolutely no reason. Other than that minor setback work was okay. Completely dead again I spent the day working through my section, charging up all the batteries to the cameras and camcorders. Whilst "testing" the cameras I discovered that I love the Panasonic G2: It's a great camera to use, and in the near future I want o see how the photos from it come out on the computer. The afternoon was largely taken up with setting up a 3D tv. Three of us were doing so, or perhaps me and another salesman setting it up whilst the day's manager was running around like a child on Christmas morning in expectation of watching monsters vs aliens 3D; the movie Samsung package with the BluRay player. Eventually we got everything working and anyone that groans at the mention of 3D tvs genuinely has to come into Currys and see it in person: it is brilliant. Anyone with two functioning eyes must be at least slightly impressed by it. One thing that overshadowed a lot of today was talk of the woman who put a cat in a bin. You know what I mean. Obviously it is really sick, and completely incomprehensible an act to do to a random cat right at its own house, BUT I do feel that its all been blown out of hand a bit. I mean, step back and consider the fact that the cat has suffered no harm, beyond possibly being a bit scared. But a crazy lady scaring a cat surely isn't the most heinous crime committed today. Itxaso made a point that a while ago a group of kids sellotaped fireworks to a cat. This made minor news; more an afterthought whereas this story made front page news. Again I don't begin to comprehend the woman's reasoning at the time but surely other people can see its a bit low level? Anyhoo, on to song of the day. Today is "on the path to fury" by Fairyland. One acceptable reason for it being chosen is its a great symphonic power metal song, but most importantly, if you skip to about the two minute mark you'll hear a harpsichord solo. A harpsichord solo. That is all there is to be said.
