[378] Требует наш народ одного: раздавите проклятую гадину

WHAT A DAY. I watched some cartoons and a couple episodes of Shogun and also completely rearranged my bedroom for the first time since moving in here, over five years ago! I am very, very tired, but in an accomplished sort of way, instead of a 'where did the day go?' sort of way like usual.

Still lots to do, of course. The place is kind of a disaster mess in the aftermath, but dealing with all that is what the weekend is for, while I continue washing all of my clothes.

Also ordered a new treadmill! The little cheapie one that I bought last year is on its way out, so I'm upgrading to something capable of changing the incline and also folding up when I'm not using it. Still a little cheapie that probably won't last very long, of course, if only because I really don't have the space for a proper one. Today's adventures proved it pretty conclusively!



Wikipedia Sez: Behaviour (released as Behavior in the United States) is the fourth studio album by the English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys, released on 22 October 1990 by Parlophone. A Japanese special edition included a bonus mini CD, exclusive artwork and printed lyrics in a white velvet-like box. (I want it)

Genre: Pop/Rock

Styles: Alternative Dance, Dance-Pop, Dance-Rock

Release Date: October 22nd, 1990

Prior Familiarity: Very low, but after pulling my first Pet Shop Boys just ten albums ago, I was very much looking forward to it.

What I Did While Listening: REARRANGED MY FUCKING BEDROOM. I seriously have not gotten that sweaty since finishing Couch to 5K. Moved my bed and desk and a set of shelves, with much nebulous tetris action and poor 'oh no, I don't know if i can do this' decisions made along the way. I don't know if another album would have gotten me through it with sanity intact.

Verdict: Not as good as Actually, but still an absolute banger of an album. SERIOUSLY, WHY DID I SLEEP ON THE PET SHOP BOYS FOR SO LONG???

Favourite Song: Gonna say So Hard, but I gotta give it another listen to be sure, there were quite a few standouts. Maybe I'll check out the Further Listening bonus disc too, while I'm at it.
