The week in brief review...

[silverthorne]

Ideas have started again in the old brain, now that the change over stress at work is mostly over.

Good and Bad at the same time--I've gotten 'small' enough to fit well into some old clothes I kept around...by the same token, I have to replace bras, some pants and half my scrubs with something smaller.

I have made the unhappy discovery that if I plug my Zune player into the laptop for a recharge and I've deleted the music library from said laptop, the Zune will randomly pick 50 songs to keep and erase the rest of its memory. Meaning I've been spending the last two nights of computer time reloading all the CD's, editing out songs I know I don't want to hear, retagging CD sets so they play all at once if I chose just that 'album' to play, and so forth. :/ I'm just glad I had the brains to burn all the Bon Jovi extras into their own hard copy CD before I cleared the laptop, or there would have been much anguished begging from me to you guys. Guess this means I need to get an independant charger for the Zune...and should go ahead and get that extra hard-drive for the music, since my collection thus far takes up 30% of the laptop's drive, and I kinda need that space for the memory-hogs known as my art programs.

I had four slices of pizza for lunch yesterday becuase our director bought us all a 'thank you' lunch. There has been and will be much swimming to rectify thia situation ASAP. Also, I liked Clue's 'buddah ball' solution...where's a good place to find the ball (My tummy is getting flatter, but I'm still wide-hipped. :( ).

And...that's it.

or not, Target is the best place.

Make sure you check the size though. Look for the 29 inch ball. While 25 sounds large enough, it's just a little bit to short.

Cool. Yeah, Walmart has some stuff (I got my mini-tramp there for those rainy/icy/please-don't-make-me-go-outside-mommy days), but I didn't recall seeing balls.

Hush, now.

*Makes note--29 inch. :) *

Thank you!

Can you manually set the Zune to not sync with the music library? I had to set my Nano to manual instead of automatic (which is the default! Why?!?) because every time I plugged it in it would start sucking random things from iTunes. I have far too many things in iTunes and far too little memory on the iPod for that to work well.

OTOH, I'd be afraid to plug the Zune back in, after all you went through last night.

You know, I never thought to check to see if that was an option...maybe I should. *g*

Eh, it's actually no big deal--I have everything on CD, either store bought or burned, anyway, including stuff I download from folks on the net (yes, even Dan's 'Phoenix' :) ). It's just the time it takes up to get everything on the hard drive, the editing, the deleting, blah blah blah. Just takes time that I could be using to write, play vid games, take a walk, etc. :)

But yeah, I'll check those default settings a little closer when I get home. Thanks!

I need to start burning some CDs. All my downloaded goodies are just sitting in iTunes, waiting to get lost in a crash :/

Soon we will have completed shelves with ALL KINDS OF SPACE for MORE CDs!! Bwahaha!

lol. :)

Yeah, know what you mean.

When I had found and lost Alan Parson's Project's 'Tales of Mystery and Imagination' five times in a row because of hard-drive issues, I learned fast to burn it as soon as I downloaded it if I could. I always have at least ten CD-R's on hand at any given time, just in case.

(PS--The shelves look good so far.)

Thanks! OMG I was so pleased when I got home yesterday and saw them. I can't wait to get them loaded back up with LPs and whatnot and see how it looks.
