The rhythm of our conversation

A few more things I forgot to mention earlier, here.

Earlier, I went on the BBC website, as per usual. I discovered that Prince Harry has returned from Iraq. I never knew he was even out there. I got two news items out of one. It's like killing two birds with one stone, only I don't get a meal out of it.
Also on the BBC website was news of this guy who has thus far spent £47,000 I believe, on souping up his car. Here are the pictures. It's pretty hot, really. Still, with 29 speakers in there, you'd think he could have rounded it up to thirty, just for the sake of having an even number, right?

My dad surprised us somewhat this week by informing us that he would going on a business trip next week to Sicily. I say 'business trip' in the loosest sense of the phrase; for a start, he doesn't really know who he's going over there to meet, let alone what he'll be doing there, other than looking at oranges and lemons (I told him to be careful about getting his head chopped off). He knew about it a month ago, but hadn't really thought to go on it back then, as he thought it would be a waste of time, but then his boss told him to go, which is nice of him, really. Still, those are gonna be some lazy five days. Sicily is the island south of Italy, and when I visited Italy in February of last year, I went to Pompeii, which is in the south of the country, from where we could see the Bay of Naples, and the weather was gorgeous enough then, so slightly further south, and a month onward, he is gonna get some beautiful weather out there. I'm just gonna make sure he brings me back some limoncello.

That's all for now.

That dude has a nice car. And nice speakers. I want a better sound system in my room. Only a crappy 2.1 speaker system at the moment.

I'd buy Limoncello just for the bottle it's in. It's a cool bottle. xP

My sound system has five speakers, but I only use the two really big ones. I've not opened up the two wall-mounted ones, and I've no idea how to get the middle one to work.
On my computer, I have only two speakers, but they're old ones from our other computers, which I'll have to use until I can convince my mum to buy me brand new ones.
And that is a fairly cool bottle, but I'm sure its contents are far more interesting.
