vanillafluffyI'm at the Fur Factory. Mb is cooking dinner, which smells terrific, although I'm at the "so hungry I'm nauseous" stage and trying to restrain myself from eating everything in sight before it's done.
We went to the food bank this morning, came back to her place. I managed to watch a couple hours of the stuff I've DVR'ed and needed a nap; I was nodding off on the couch, which was NOT comfortable. Then we went out and Mb bought a shelf unit for her pantry, which I'll be assembling after dinner. Also met an adorable schnoodle (schnauzer-poodle) service dog at WalMart. Too cute!
Tomorrow is supposed to rain fish. Off and on rain again on Wednesday, and then! Supposedly Thursday/the weekend is going to be clear and in the 70s. That would be awesome.
At some point in the next few days, I need to collect coupons from the C's (they get the Sunday paper and are saving theirs for me) and over to J's to retrieve my iPod. Therein lies a tale: When I got said iPod, I tried to use it on the library wi-fi and it got stuck on one screen and I couldn't get rid of it. Since J is experienced in iTech, I took it over there and she fixed that very quickly.
Since she's got wireless there, I figured I'd go to the App Store and snag a few free games to pass the time. Trouble was. everything I tried to download kept telling me I needed operating system 4.1-blah-blah-blah. J checked. My iPod was running 2.2-something. And 5.1-whatever was just released....
That's where things started going terribly wrong. Trying to upgrade the OS ended up wiping the whole harddrive, turning my magic brick into a plain old brick. There was NOTHING left. No tunes, no notes, no timers, nothing.
J has had it all weekend, and finally got an OS installed this morning. All the music is gone, which is somewhat annoying, but fixable. And at least it ensures that I won't have a recurrence of the Tom Leherer earworm that plagued me last week (in a disturbing mashup with "It's a Small World" and Patsy Cline crooning, "Crazy...".)
J inherited Susie's computer, like I inherited her iPod, and I know my way around Susie's Acquisition on iTunes, because I utilized it a lot while I was schnauzer sitting. I know it's not ALL her stuff. And that's good, because she had an arseload of things I'd never listen to, and a bunch of stuff that perplexed me. Such as, I really like Jim Croce, but how the hell can you NOT have "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" or "Time in a Bottle"?! Or CCR and not have "Bad Moon Rising"?! Baffling, but fixable.
.I need to clear the table, dinner's fixing to be ready, thank heavens! TTFN.
