Incessant Gibberish

I’m pretty down on Yahoo! lately and any products Y! so after I canceled my Geoshitty account, I thought I’d upload music to my Indie site… but it doesn’t work like that. I can upload it with the ftp client. I can put a link to the song in my blogs, but it has to be typed exactly as it is uploaded. Holy shyte! How the hell am I going to remember that? Anyway, I know there are a ton of music sites out there, but as I was stumbling around on the internet tonight, I came across a fabulous place called Anywhere.FM. It’s a player I can upload songs to that acts like a radio player. There are already 5,500,000 songs there but of course… I want my own. :) There’s a desktop loader you can download to upload an entire folder at a time, and the option to pop the music player out of the window. I think it’s just cool as can be, and there are several skins to pick from. Signing up was as easy as entering a user name one time and a password one time. That was it! No more info!!! KJ says check it out. http://anywhere.fm/snowlobster

Preston loved his laptop I bought for him (with Mother’s help). LOVED it. I loved it, too… especially when I was computerless while dog sitting last weekend. Here in Dallas I had several open connections to reach the internet, and I was hoping it would be that way for Preston in Texarkana, but no. There were 2 secure connections on the back porch at my parent’s house in a nice neighborhood. So! Like any good Mom, I loaded him up in the car and we headed to the Sprint store where I bought a laptop connect card. I had to add another line to my account, but since I’m a “Preferred Customer” it wasn’t a problem. (FOOLS!) Preston’s a happy boy, I’m a happy Mom and he has vowed to reimburse me for the $60 per month it’s going to cost to run the damn thing. Now I understand that he can connect through his cell phone? I hope not, I hope that’s not possible with the Katana phone he has now. A Blackberry I can understand. Since he’ll be starting college this time next year (even though he’s taken college classes in high school for 3 years), I figured it’d be a good idea to go ahead and buy the laptop now since I got such a good deal on it at Micro Center. I also got him an Epson printer/fax/copier, an anit-virus program called NOD32 that runs on half the power of Norton or McAfee, a carrying case, and the extended warranty. Mom already had a copy of MSOffice, so I installed that . No excuses now, right?

I’m copy and pasting some of my old blogs to this site. I figure I better get started doing that and try to do a few a day. I’m sure they won’t all be up here because well… I’ve changed, and things that disturbed me before aren’t so disturbing anymore. Most of them are crap anyway, but it’s a piece of my life that I don’t want to be totally trashed. I never thought I’d leave Y360, and now I look back and don’t see how come I stayed as long as I did except for the incredible friendships I made there. That will never die.

Tonight I’m just sitting around relaxing after having been gone away from home for so long. Copper was so tired after the 3 nights with Molly, Bandit & Tori and then the trip to and from Texarkana that he zonked out under the covers at 2pm on Monday afternoon. Finally at around 9:30 that night, I went and felt under the covers for him to see if his heart was still beating. He groaned a little puppy groan when I disturbed him, shifted his position and went right back to sleep. The dogs gave me the nicest gift today and a card with much appreciation in it. $$$ I’m supposed to dog sit again around Christmastime and well… that’s fine by me. :)
