Resolution Conclusions 2007

*Hey, I did this last year too! Maybe it’s turning into a “thing”?!* 1: Blitz “to do” and “to buy” lists Karen and I have a big “todo” list. It used to be a handwritten sheet of paper, pinned to the notice board, divided up into “things to do” and “things to buy”. Nowadays, it’s […]

What would you put in Room 101

[23rd october 2006]: http://pete.nu/blog/2006/10/recent-listening-time-again/ **The Information** by *Beck* I’m coming to the realisation that *Beck* was all about *Odelay* for me.
