pissing the day away
i woke up this morning at 9, when Sarah called me, and have been up ever since. it's 5:43pm and i haven't taken a shower. i haven't gone outside. all i've had to eat was some cinnamon graham crackers and peanut butter for breakfast and white cheddar popcorn for lunch. what's kept me preoccupied all day long...well, it may be more of a "what the hell did you do with your day"...you ask?
one word: iPod.
it took me forever to figure out why i wasn't able to download iTunes onto my computer, so that took a hot minute. then came the music. on various hard drives i, easily, have 40 gigs of music. anything you can imagine, i have. some of it's my own. some if it's stuff that other people have downloaded. a good amount of it i have out of sheer laziness. i go through these phases and am too lazy to redownload stuff, so i just keep it. i think if it was on the radio in the 80's, i have it.
i have shit i don't even like. i have everything from bluegrass to classical. plus, just in the last few years, living up here, i've gotten into a lot of indie bands. the thing about indie music is that everyone has a fucking band. that's all well and good for the little man to get a shot, but shit it takes up space. it also takes me a minute to get into certain groups. for instance, i've had Built to Spill for about a year. it wasn't until a couple of months ago that i really got into them. when i first heard them, i wasn't digging it. now? now, i have 4 albums and counting. i'm ravenous with it. which brings up another suck part of indie groups, since they've been around and underground forever, they have a shit load of albums. my god. Death Cab alone has about 6. so, i not only have to have the current music, but there's a backlog to delve into.
so, 3.9 Gb and 900 songs later, i still haven't put on my 80's shit or most of hip-hop or classical. 900 songs is just the beginning. how cool is the fall going to be laying on a blanket, sun worshipping with a cool breeze washing over me, and listening to every album A-Ha ever made?
i'm never going to have to pack another CD again!
all of this and we haven't even begun the dvd route.
nice.
