I downloaded and installed iTunes this afternoon and I have to say, not only do I feel corrupted, I actually feel let down. It rips CDs really slow, 4.4x vs. 12+x on MusicMatch. Fortunately it does have the option to rip and eject on CD Insert which is nice since I have a second computer at my feet that I can just do all my ripping on while I’m actually doing work. MusicMatch has been being a bitch lately, so I’m kind of shopping around for something new. I’m back to QCD right now, but MusicMatch just has some features that no one else on the planet has. I’m going to miss those features until I can get together the $60 to actually buy MusicMatch again. My lab staff meeting is in ten minutes, then it’s back to the house for our bi-weekly movie night. I’m excited, I like having people over and being able to share my movies is a really cool excuse to get people over to my house.
I really need to start looking into the whole D&D alternate setting thing again. I still have all my ideas, I just need to get to writing them down again so other people can read them so I can actually start the game so people can come over to the house to play D&D so I can actually be running a game again. Now that I’m pretty sure I won’t have to be running Vampire, I can concentrate back on my D&D game.
Damn, I gotta go pee before this meeting.

I had two dreams the night before last (Wednesday night) that I kept meaning to talk a little about. Neither one was necesarilly nightmarish, but I wouldn’t classify either one as a good dream. The first was a work dream. There are a lot of politics about the web page here at work. I’m pretty much the only one who maintains it, but we’re on a temporary web page that’s only up until the “real” web page is finished (the real web page that’s been in progress for over two years). As a result, I don’t put a lot of time or effort into it, it is my lowest priority item, after all. I want to make a new one, even if it’s a new interim page, but I don’t feel that my work would truly be appreciated by the people who need to appreciate it, and I’ve been told, in no uncertain terms, to hold off on making a web page until I’m actually compensated beyond my normal pay. I’m more than willing to agree to this. Eventually, the “real” site will be done. Anyway, I’ve strayed away from the dream thing. I dreamt that another, worse, web page was created and I was forced to put it up in place of our current interim web site and no matter how much I argued, I was not allowed to alter this new one at all. It was not only frustrating, but a slap in the face because not only did they pay yet a third person to create this shitty page, but then they force me to put in in place. Fuck.
Dream two was a car dream. I don’t remember too many details about it, mostly I remember I took my new car and backed it into a pond by accident. From there, there was a lot of running around trying to figure out how to get it out of the pond and on the road because we were on a road trip and had just stopped at my Grandparent’s house for the night.
Oh, and I had another car dream last night too, but damned if I even remember what that one was.

Shit, I was all about writing something this morning, now I can’t remember what the hell I was going to write about. I have 2 minutes before the lab opens, I’ll probably remember what I was wanting to write as soon as I don’t have time to write again.
