so, I really like how imdb has been updating their site... they have been making little changes over the years, and it is becoming more and more impeccable. I especially like how they are dropping the thumbnails nexts to the cast for movies, very helpful and convenient...

so I played with itunes a lot yesterday - I have yet to use the $50 in gift cards to buy music, since I have to either move the wireless router closer to the office or I have to get a usb wireless cardthe problem... there are additional complications to doing either, so I'm just going to sit on it until I absolutely need to do it.

but I digress... Itunes is neat - I'm not sure when cd companies started dropping the album/track/artist names on the CD (I assumed there was some database that got downloaded in the background and when itunes recognized the serial or whatever of the cd, it would associate that information to the cd) - but whatever it's cool, because I can rip all 400+ CD's lorie and I have without having to worry about the names and stuff... so helpful... I'm 5 cd's in... 400+ to go...

btw - I bought the suite of clones (dvd, dvd mobile, any dvd) they are dead useful - I didn't bother with clone CD because really, why would you need to clone a cd nowadays? if you have the CD - rip it to itunes, drop it in a playlist and then burn it again. ooohhhh.... it might take a whole minute longer, big whup. :-P

anyhow, I basically spent a good three hours in front of my computer yesterday (pushing the limit of when I have to leave my house to catch my flight on time) ripping alias season 4, a number of cd's, and organizing the 4500+ mp3's on my computer... I'm pretty sure I have some clean up to do, because that whole consolidate mp3's thing - yeah, not so helpful for cleaning up the ones that it copied. plus I have my video and audio files on separate hard drives, so I have to figure out how best to work through that since itunes copies whatever I add to my library to the designated file (yes - I know that you can turn off that option, but I get paranoid that I might lose files so I figure, what the heck - just copy everything over and over)... space really isn't an issue considering I have about half a terabyte of space on my pc...

lorie has introduced me to avenue q... as far as being on the ball with musicals, I am not. I was waaaaay behind on the whole wicked thing, and apparently, avenue q was the one that beat wicked out for the best musical.

crazy.

anyhow, it's on my ipod now, along with a number of other ripped cd's which if viewed by others would probably put into question my masculinity. to quote my roommate's former roommate "I didn't know that ipod's came in gay"

now if I could only find a copy of the boy from oz, then my musicals would be rounded off...

ahem.

...watched the first half of the two part macgyver legend of the holy rose episode... i couldn't remember watching it when eric told me about it, but after seeing the first artifact, it all flooded back to me.

that macgyver is so clever. I don't think I would have been able to make a plane out of bamboo, garbage bags, duct tape, and a cement mixer... let alone in three to four hours...

well... I should go to work now.
