Unwanted cds make great doorstops

my cd collection is dwindling by the minute. From a vast collection of mostly hip hop music I bought over the years, I have only a few cds left. Mainly because I still expect people to bring back the cds they "borrowed" from me. If I had to chuck out all the "free" cds I got in Hype and SL magazine and all those dvd-rs with so much underground hip-hop on them that they make my head hurt, I am left with a few original local hip-hop cds. There really wouldn't be anything else because that is the only kind of music I am prepared to buy. Partly because it's cheap and I find some gems but mostly because the cd's get shoved in my face and I have no choice but to buy. The latter case is mostly with people I know or their friends who put one on guilt trips for "always whining that that we make crap music and when we bring good music out, you refuse to buy". At this time, I am already making a mental note to keep my big mouth shut.The price we pay for friendship, around R70/80 bucks at street level. Anyway, so I went thru my "collection" and found a cd that I bought a while back but never got to listen to it because I didnt understand the language or because it sucked. I decided to give it a chance today and it stil sounds awful. I would give it away as a present but the hippies don't listen to anything but new age whoosh-shosh and I would feel bad giving it to any other person because I suspect they already have it. So I found another use for it (and others like it) I use them as doorstops or sell them. And they work wonders.

one last cup of coffee before I give it up completely..

Procrastinating would be the right word. But my spelling is not what it used to be so I tend to steer away from big words.Anyway, I have a problem with putting things off to the last minute. It was all well and good at varsity to finish off assignments the night before a due date but now that I am working for THE MAN, that doesn't cut it anymore. Well that and the fact that our power supply is not what it used to be. (read load shedding). Which reminded me that I hadn't had my coffeee yet. So I thought I'd give my bad habbit one last go before I give it up completely. There I was flicking thru my diary, "hmmm 5 stories by the 2nd of March, HA! that's more than enough time, especially since I have whole week and a few days to burn". So I chilled, made another cup of coffee, paced up and down the office for no reason other than to irritate those who actually had work to do and checked my diary again only to realise that I only had 3 days to get everything done, including interviews, research, pics and a trip to PTA at the weekend.... Did I mention that I am leaving in two days and have yet to book a flight or arrange a way out of the bundus to get to the airport. I know what you are thinking, I am thinking it too. Time for another cup of coffee. Anyway, the only reason I am able to do this now is that I was able to push some of my work but I still haven't booked my flight? and the fact that I live 2 hours from the airport? and I don't even own a bicycle let alone a car?...
