Tae-bo uppercut

Friday, February 4, 2005 » music school update

As of yesterday at around 1:40 PM, I emerged from my second midterm in three hours. Since then, I've been enjoying being able to concern myself less with Jackson Pollock and Joel Schumacher and more with, uh, Jon Stewart and Rock Howard, I guess. I also got paid earlier in the week and don't expect any major academic projects for a while, so I expect several hundred more bullets are in order.

Other stuff going on: Origin Story is finally off to the printer, although it's going to take a little longer than expected since they're all bogged down with orders from over the holidays. At least I got the Website up on schedule. There may not be any content yet, but there is definitely something resembling a Website.

Also: The iPod that my brother donated to me appears to have finally died. It may just be that the software's crashed somehow and I just need to perform some magic recovery trick, but the battery on the thing is so old that I'm not incredibly hopeful. So, I'm actually considering buying a new one to replace it. I think I could definitely survive on 20GB (I've been doing fine with just 5 for over a year), but an extra $100 for double the capacity and the dock is tempting. I just need to decide on something ridiculous to have engraved.

Last thing: Speaking of iPoddery, does anyone know someone who received a tangible, working iPod out of that freeipods.com scam thing? I'm only asking because I just saw the same group has a new site up for a free Mac mini, which is not something I have a pressing need for at the moment, but I don't think I'd have any trouble finding something to do with a free one.
