Sorry, dudes

I haven't updated in almost three weeks now and that's bad. However, the first week I explained away already, and the rest of my reasons have to do with actually studying hard this quarter and for the remainder of my time here at this University, especially in light of the whole potential fifth-year thing. I can't afford that. Does this mean I won't be updating anymore? No. I probably will get back to the every-other-day basis updating schedule soon, it's just the beginning of the quarter seems to take the wind out of me more thoroughly than its remainder. Anyway, enough excuses.

To make up for it I'm going to post this huge megamix I assembled which is, in reality, completely arbitrary, but is nonetheless titled "The Best Of 2006 Part One". Well, I guess that's what it's titled - it doesn't really have a title. Anyway, the point is it's a 31-song mix that's meant to highlight some good material from the first half of this year based upon my estimates of what is good. 2006 has been a pretty dense year already, so I'd imagine more indulgent sprawling mixes can be expected from me and others.
