Just took me out a limb and I don't really know what I'm doing here . . .

So I'm in one of those 'clear things off of the To Do List so I can think straight' kind of moods and as a result I finally installed the new needle on my long-neglected turntable and I'm now listening to my vinyl copy of Rio. Because, you know, I had to test it properly and all, and what better way to test it than with the first record I ever bought for myself?

I feel like I'm tapping my adolescent self on the shoulder and saying "Look, really, it's going to turn out okay, I promise."

Today I took pleasure in hearing the proper version of Rio after so very, very long.

Today I learned that I do, in fact, have a key to the swimming pool at The Shire.
