The Greatness Known As iTunes

About a year ago at this time, I was sitting at home freezing in my basement and now I'm sweating in my apartment. (Well, not today but give it about 6 weeks and that will start.) But the other thing that happened is I was just getting acquainted with iTunes. I don't even have an Ipod yet (although that would be great for someone to buy me at some point, just in case anyone would like to be charitable) iTunes is great because with the ever-changing landscape of music and TV, I can buy episodes of "The Office" or go ahead and buy certain songs that I like, including the incredibly "smart" lyrics of Gwen Stefani's "Breakin Up." Now the first time I heard this song I thought it was actually about someone breakin up with someone else. Instead after I plunked down 99 cents for the songs I quickly found out it was about not picking up reception on a cell phone, thankfully an only occasional problem in the apartment. Just look at the greatness.

"Come on, come on, I know you want to call me back."
"Hold up, I think I'm losing you."
"Tell me, can you hear me now."

Incredible writing talent right there. I do enjoy the synthesizer that accompany the piece which Gwen enjoys in varying amounts. I really do need an iPod though for music fun on those long road trips to Hershey. It could be Mansfield or Hershey. I've downloaded a ton of cool songs off of iTunes and there are also free podcasts which I will rarely listen to.

I think it rained here this morning but I don't know. I woke up at 7:30 am in a haze and saw the color through the blinds as a non-bright gray. I could also hear cars go through the water. I immediately went back to sleep after the middle-of-the-night pee break.

Been playing a lot of MLB 07: The Show lately as always as the Pirates and Indians continue to provide similar results to their real life counterparts. The Pirates are under .500 and the Indians have a slight lead over the Tigers and Jim Leyland. The Rocket/New Castle Thunder wire should greatly appreciate that plug about baseball and the Succos. In another sports note, if you know people that like Detroit sports teams, go ahead and call them the Sped Wings or the Peons! They will love you for it.

Election day was yesterday and I went and voted like a good civic citizen (give self pat on back.) There were lots of good local races for all those fun county row seats. In other news, I'm getting hoagies from the fun folks at church. At $2 a pop, who can complain with the price? I get to pick them up tomorrow night, probably after the Ridgway baseball game ends. There's an Elk County Spring Derby which will be Saturday, I think I'm gonna go and cover it. I went to one during the fair last year and it was definitely a good time.

OK, that's about it for now, time to do other stuff, maybe even clean the apartment. And yes, as a friendly reminder, post-it notes to the ladies can be greatly appreciated.
