Standing On Boxes

Ah… the Good Eats Thursday double feature. The Sugar episode followed by the Honey episode (Not really the names of the episodes.) The infamous “Bee puppet” episode…

It is possible to have too many episodes of a show on during the week. Too much AB for me. We’ve almost reached saturation here. Though not as bad as the Emeril overdosing they subject us to.

Only one new G.E. episode a week.

It suddenly occurred to me this morning why I’ve had (and am having) problems with my fic The Apprentice. It’s not the plot but the approach. It is, at the most basic level, a buddy fic (with road trip fic overtones) but I’ve been writing only one of the characters – essentially just the road trip part of it. The parts that really work are the parts where the focus is on both of the main characters. Need to fix things.

Updating info about characters and stories in my Red Raider AU. It really needs a complete redo. Some day.

Want an iPod Shuffle?

My local CompUSA has a waiting list for the Shuffle (and the Mac Mini). Best Buy, on the other hand, has plenty.

Notes:

1. You have to let it charge for 4 hours the first time you plug it in. The charging light turned green after 2 hours.
2. My older iBook only has USB 1.1 so copying music to it takes a while.
3. I need to re-import/redo many of my MP3s on my iBook. The bit rate is too high -I can’t fit a lot of music on my new Shuffle. It’ll also save me space on my iBook.
4. Not a fan of the ‘ear bud’ headphones that come with it. Need to get something else.
