MOOP!

The problem with me losing things in this house is that there are too many damn suspects.

My headphones are gone. Was it one of the cats, going "Oo, headphones. They look like a new toy!" Was it one of the siblings, going "Oo, headphones. I lost mine, I'll just take these!" Was it, well, me going "Oo, headphones. I'll put them here so I don't forget about them."

In other news, Dan4th rocks. He rocks so much that I'm stealing his meme! (Well, okay, technically I'm stealing it from CrystalPyramid, but Dan posted it too. So nyah.)

Everyone has things they post about. Everyone has things they don't post about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't mention often, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc."

(Though, like Dan, I really don't have things I DON'T post about. Challenge me!)

*throws things against the wall. No, not anything specific, just things.*

So, I have a dock-thing for my ipod that functions as an alarm clock or a set of speakers. This is a good thing. Since I don't have Seren to play music for me (which I prefer as said clockbase is across the room and I am lazy) I tossed my ipod in there and let it play musics.

It was doing fine, and then, Jacqulynn (my ipod) froze. Fine, reset, whatever. More music time.

She froze again. Six or seven songs along, just spontaneous "hi, I'm no longer playing music" Different song and everything. Currently, I am listening to her with my headphones, to see if she's going to randomly freeze again.

At this point, my first response would normally be to desperately back up all the music and photos on her. Oh, wait. Fuckity fuck, yo. If she freezes again, I am going to turn her off and not touch her until I've gotten the pictures off of her. (music too, if I can swing it, but that's less important)

This has not been a good week for me and electronics.

ETA: At least *something* is behaving --I had been trying to figure out a way to label all the mail I get from assorted groups and things at school as "Lesley", but the way labels work, I had to create a seperate label for each e-mail. Which sucks. So, on a whim, I tried filtering just "@lesley.edu" and it worked like a charm. Yay gmail!

Good ideas shattered! Evil. EVIL I SAY!

Or, in other words, my totally spift-tastic idea of having a big "stay up late and read Harry Potter" party (See previous entry) has been totally smashed up by Bad Timing, namely that I'll be in/going towards Maine the night it comes out.

Damn these camps that make it so I have no siblings all summer! No wait, I take that back. But damn my inability to plan parties for days I'm actually here.

(((Although, this does leave us with the alternitive of postponing it for a few days* (hahahah, like anyone won't have read the book by then) or simply handing the whole party over to someone else (Sir Hectadecagram?) and having them host it. Thoughts?)))

*Double advantage of the postponement theory is that we can start at a rational hour, like six, instead of a "everyone's starting to fall asleep anyways" like one.

Don't you hate it when you accidentally close out a window where you had a half written LJ entry?

Dammit.
