Pretty movies, absorbing books

I am still working on "the portrait of a lady", it's taken me a long time, even though I'm completely taken up by it. I got out "I, Fatty" from the library but now have to return it unread, last night I was up until 2:35 am, even though I made a point of going to bed early, so I could get up early, to begin to adjust to the time difference before we get to the east coast.

bad bad bad.

I have to finish the cable tam by the time I get there, but I have ripped it three times now, and I still find I've crossed over a cable oddly here and there. And I still can't believe it will really come out big enough at all. This sideways construction really doesn't lend itself to future imaginings, and the dimensions given in the book don't really give me much hope either, even though I have extended them.

one size never fits me, nor will it fit my father, for whom it is intended.

in other news, the new computer has so far been set up rather painlessly. itunes is still a bitch, it went and forgot my entire library and all my playlists *AGAIN*, motherfuckingthingsihate. I got sent a link to something called anapod, which is supposed to make itunes talk to windows better. I wonder how much money I have spent on this goddamned ipod just to try and make it work... I have heard nothing about the lawsuit, and can't find mention of it on the apple site.
I want my twenty five dollar gift check to the apple store just so I can take a picture of myself burning it and send it to Steve jobs. What a shitty product the ipod is.

and I used to be a Mac gal all the way. The spellchecker won't pop up in it's little window.
I guess I must have something set on my browser that is denying it. Oh well. Doesn't matter, I'll most likely delete this in the morning.
