So, electronic cars. Great idea for reducing pollution. That is always a good thing. But I’m not sure what I think of this one. As soon as I saw it I immediately thought of the cars on Demolition Man (probably because I watched it last night. I had forgotten Sandra Bullock was in it). Okay, so cars should look good, but I’m not sure that I like the space-age look of the Alias.

I’ve been posting recently about things I’ve put onto the Ipod (like today). While this is all well and good, I am so not impressed with the Itunes store. I thought I’d have a nosey around to see if I could buy an album by a Japanese band I like called Triceratops. So, after looking through the UK Itunes store and being unable to locate it I noticed that I could browse Itunes stores in other countries. So I pulled up the Japanese Itunes, found the album, clicked ‘Buy now’. But guess what. I was denied! Yep, because you can only buy albums from your own country’s Itunes store. Ridiculous or what? I thought the whole point of the internet was to allow for ease of data transfer, good or bad. No, there are still restrictions. And I am mightily piddled off with that!

Principessa is, on the other hand, mightily happy with her new, working LeapPad. She has already decided that ‘Madagascar’ is her favourite interactive book. She even enjoys lugging the LeapPad, books and cartridges around in the backpack that I bought for it. I am very happy that she likes it all.

Well, I’m off for now. Going to watch the end of the Biathlon Men’s 10km Sprint.
