Reasking: recommendation for what Vienna Teng cd to buy first (I have Warm Strangers mp3ified)?

I only just survived work. When I got up this morning I was so tired I felt like crying. And had to get up and walk around a few times at work to keep myself awake.

But another fortnight/pay period I've done my full hours. That's a month, four weeks in a row, of doing my full hours. I am superwoman :)

Thursday was funny. I don't normally work it, and I walked in around my old side and K looked at me strangely and said, "What are you doing here?" :)

I am just a tad excited about finding Barry Jones' autobiography. And annoyed I didn't know till I just saw it in the ABC cattledog. Costs a pretty penny though. A few years back I considered writing to Barry Jones and asking him to write his autobiography...or if he didn't want to do it, let me! Yes, I was younger and stupider...but I so wanted to hear his story.

And everybody reading this either has no idea who I'm talking about or can't stand him.

And I think my dvd player just exploded. There were these popping sounds coming from the direction of the tv/dvd/vcrs, I looked and couldn't find anything. More popping sounds. The tv turned on okay, the vcrs played okay, the dvd player turned on okay...but it smells. I've unplugged everything until dad can look at them in the morning. Damn dvd player, it's only just over a year old and has barely been used. I had to buy it to replace the previous one in which the power supply carked it. I only paid $60 for it, but still.

The popping sounds and smell last night were definitely from the dvd player. Dad pulled it apart and we found one of the capacitors in the power supply had literally popped its top. Another one was close to it.

Dad's going to replace them (with maybe bigger capacitors - he said they were working too close to their limits and there wouldn't be such problems with electrical appliances if they put in bigger capacitors (I reckon it's a conspiracy to make sure you have to replace them more often) - it may be what happened to my previous dvd player too) and it might still be useable.

My daddy is a clever daddy :)
