Ih: Day Two
Another day at home, but I'm improved enough that I'm confident that I'll go to work tomorrow.
Still geeked about my iPod, which should be here at the beginning of next week. I'm a little trepidatious, though, what with all the quirks and weirdness they can have, which I've been reading about on various places around the net. Anybody out there have their own iPod experiences that they'd like to share with me?
Calvin says he's going to hook up our other (tired, sad, under-technologized) PC to use as a music storage receptacle. I don't want to store all my music on my laptop hard drive, but I do want to store it somewhere in case the iPod crashes. If I have to re-transfer hundreds of CD's because something wonky happened, I'm going to be pissed.
I bought Cake's "Comfort Eagle" CD in anticipation of iPoddy goodness. Mostly for "Short Skirt/Long Jacket", which is one of my favorite songs by them. I wish they'd come out with a Hits CD, since not all of their songs go over well with me. I have "Fashion Nugget", on which my favorites are "Going the Distance", and "I Will Survive". "Prolonging the Magic" has "Never There" and "Walk On By", so I'll probably buy the CD just for those two songs. I haven't heard anything off of their latest album (I don't think), "Pressure Chief", but I'll probably buy that, too. Maybe the rest of the material will grow on me - certainly I know it takes more than one listen, with Cake, which is not the case for all artists.
I got a Ben Folds Five CD, too - "Whatever and Ever, Amen." I bought "Rocking the Suburbs" ages ago and love it to death, so it's weird that it took me this long to get another one. Maybe I'm afraid it'll not be as good as "Suburbs", and will reduce the band in my eyes? Feh, silliness.
We're holding dinner tonight until a bit after 9:00, which is when Marie gets home from work. Then we will grill up some T-bones and taters, and watch "Sideways" and/or "Spanglish". Since Marie's ex-boyfriend strikes a terrifying resemblance to Adam Sandler, we may go with "Sideways". She hasn't gone out with anyone who looks like Thomas Haden Church, so I think we'll be safe.
Calvin is outside puttering in the rapidly-greening back yard, with the misters on, drinking a beer. It sounds like a very appealing idea, so I think I'll join him!

I just wanted to say that the CD Whatever and Ever Amen is the one that made me a fan of Ben Folds Five. SO GOOD. Really. Let us know if you agree!
