Today I’m back at work after 11 days of holiday. I was just about ready to come back… I can only spend so much time away from routines before it starts to drive me crazy.

So I’m sitting at work today, but with some Christmas gifts to entertain me; right now I’m listening to (and quite enjoying) Jamie Cullum’s new album Catching Tales. It’s a nice mix of jazz and pop, very listenable. I also have listened through Switchfoot’s new album Nothing Is Sound, though it was a bit of a pain getting it onto my iPod with the copy protection Sony put in place on the CD. (Quick solution: rip the files with CDex, then import them into iTunes.)

Finally, the last bit of fun for now: Becky IM’d me from home a little while ago to let me know that my copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0/Premiere Elements 2.0 came from Amazon today. Oh, the fun I will have photo and video editing…
