Contrary to above impressions I actually didn’t turn into an emo kid last night crying in a corner. 🙂 I had a good day and I hope everyone else did too. Reflected on how happy I was for such meaningful long term friendships, ate some comfort food, caught up with work, watched the OC and danced around to my awesome mixtape. 🙂

AND while accidentally playing that Shins track while a Hot Chip record was on the radio at the same time, I think I somehow created an awesome mashup! 🙂 Anyone fancy this mix and I’ll upload it 🙂
