grrrr
after three weeks without music while i work, being taken care of at the apple store, getting my replacement ipod, and charging it to full capacity, i sat down yesterday and this morning to go through all of my music. i organized and sorted everything. i deleted some stuff i never listened to anyway, prepared some new stuff i really want to hear, and just now went to update my ipod.
i get a note saying that i need to format the new one, so i follow the prompts to do just that, and get a notice that it "can't mount ipod." apple online support documents say that this means that my Windows is not installed on the C drive, which i can guarantee is not the case, considering that C is the only drive i have other than my cd drive.
frankly, this is pissing me off. i was really looking forward to having some music today. my broadcast got shut down due to slow upload times again yesterday, and even though i don't know why that matters since i never have more than four listeners anymore, it bummed me out. and now this, and i am running late for work, the stupid ipod is doing nothing even though i am trying to process the restore again, and i have to leave.
sometimes it feels like the universe is trying to tell me, "dont bother lorin, you and music are now mutually exclusive, all of your other responsibilities make it a no-go for you."
update: jah isaac is going to hang out with his grandaddy (my dad) tomorrow while i take my ipod and my laptop up to talk to a mac genius and get this figured out. my attitude is one of resignation at the point, about nearly everything. unfortunately, the oppressive heat, the leak in my kitchen that is about to make my ceiling collapse, and the generally unacceptable structural state of this house that we live in, all have me down at the moment.
we have to move. that means money to move, and more rent per month, probably sooner than we will be prepared. we have been putting it off because our rent is obscenely low and that enables us to have more time, with our son and for music (supposedly). the kitchen leak has me worried and disgusted. time to do something.
