In which what a difference a day makes.
Happy Sunday afternoon, y’all!
NLW graciously acted as banker for me yesterday so my uncashable check dilemma went away. Yay! (God DAMN I hate not having a fucking checking account!)
I went out last night and played Megatouch with Baby Girl at the Dead Cock, and we ended the evening with a pass through McD’s drive-thru. (HOW DO THEY MAKE IT TASTE SO GOOD!?!?) I blame it on the season: normally I wouldn’t stuff my face full of junk food and go to sleep, but it is autumn.
Today so far I’ve done little more than make chai, and then scrambled eggs with diced tomatoes and cheese, and listen to my Pandora stations and read Network Redux trouble tickets. If you haven’t played around with Pandora yet, please do so. Music Genome Project, my babies. So hot.
Speaking of tuneage, I HAVE GOT TO GET MY ITUNES LIBRARY SITUATION SORTED OUT. My library is on Bread’s laptop and I no longer have access to it… he never did loan me that laptop when I asked him to. Bah. And honestly, it’s probably not even “my” library any more because I think he’s been downloading songs and ripping CDs into it.
I might just have to rip my whole library off of my iPod — which should take, oh, A MERE FIVE HOURS OR SO — and go from there. I need to arrange for an external HDD so I don’t fill Truck’s laptop up with my data… I’ll guess I’ll just pull the hard drive out of my tower (which is still at the farm) and stick it in my USB external HD enclosure and use that. Portable data. No more of this big-life-changes-seperating-me-from-my-data bullshit.
Update: I did this and then used this to get my library and metadata off my iPod and into iTunes on the laptop. (Later I’ll copy it to some external media of some kind — though Truck’s laptop has plenty of unused space, and my iPod’s only a 20Gb and it’s not full — and that media I will backup ad infinitum and guard with my LIFE.)
Copying your MP3s off of your iPod onto a computer, then getting all the artwork and playlists and shit organized, takes FOR FUCKING EVER. Just sayin’.

ITunes should branch out into hostage taking, as they’ve got a way to make you suffer. I had to reimport everything when i moved the directory and it lost all the dates added, even though I used the original .xml index. Still it’s the best out there.
i’m gonna need you to explain this to me like you’re explaining it to a 2 year old. seriously.
