Crochet Tutorial - Puff Stitch -
i love this stitch. drawing through 7 loops is annoying, but i love it anyway.
ok, that website (catherine, go to it!!) decided i wanted fajitas. i’m switching to burritos, but i’m debating between chipotle and qdoba. chipotle is obvs better, but qdoba is right ouside my door. literally. i’m sitting laying be bed with tabs open for each, going back and forth looking at pictures from their menus. OH WINTER BEAK. the more that i think about it, the less that i even want a burrito, but i don’t know what i wantttttttttt. any suggestions?
laying in bed thinking about how i was hungry, i googled "what should i eat for dinner?"
being here is like a trip down memory lane. but your car flips over and you fly 200 feet out of the windshield. oy.
WHAT ARE YOU HURT?
OK. Thank you Betsy. Cause I saw this earlier and wanted to say something, but for some reason felt like an idiot doing so because it could be an inside metaphor for something or whatever. BUT! HOLY SHIT LIZ! This better have no happened to you! And if so, the last thing I’d be doing if that happened to me would be blogging. What’s happening?
extended metaphor?
So I had about 9,500 songs on my itunes last week. Jonee and I were supposed to swap music so I could score some of his awesome musical tastes. I probably should have checked how much space I had left on my computer.
As I moved all of his songs onto my itunes, I ran out of space. So here I am with 14,898 songs and no space left on my lap top. Not acceptable. So I move all my music to my external and decide to run my itunes off of there from now on.
As soon as I move everything (directories and all) I boot up itunes and not only are all my playlists deleted, but my podcasts and ringtones are also gone. Then I try to play a song and I get the “can’t locate file” error.. for all 14,000 songs…
So since I have time machine, I figure I’ll just restore from the previous week…. doesn’t work. I rip everything off my ipod, doesn’t work..
So now I’ve dragged all my music and all of Jonee’s music onto itunes and it’s duplicated each song twice, leaving me with a whopping 46,554 files in my itunes.
So my winter break is now dedicated to weeding through the thousands and thousands of songs to make sure that there aren’t any duplicates, the Genre, Artist, Title, Album information is all correct, and each album has album art.
Shoot me.
that..is something that would happen to me. that’s a bummer—good luck.
