“You played it for her, you can play it for me.”

There’s about a billion things in my head that I keep wanting to get out, so I’m going to do a couple at a time.

This weekend’s move will start at 11 AM, and we’ll meet at my current apartment. Tomorrow is a packing/get water and gas turned on/grocery shopping day, and I should have the whole place packed by the end of the day. If you need directions, or the address or some such, just drop me a phone call or a comment here.

I desperately need to shave my face.

traded me a sweet shiny black computer case for my portable CD/MP3 CD player the last time he was down, but I totally forgot to get it to him. It’s sent out with delivery confirmation and tracking, so it best get to him in one piece.

Remember that cassette tape MP3 player that I’ve been gushing about? This one? Well, I finally spent part of my Micro Center gift card on SD cards for it, and it… has issues. It spazzes out with anything longer than a four-minute song on MP3 when it comes to pausing and resuming. It ejects from my car’s tape player with an E11 error – broken tape. So, it’s basically useless to me. I ordered the thing back around my birthday, in early May, and so I figured I was stuck with it. No harm in trying to return it, though, right?

I e-mailed ThinkGeek with the situation, quoted this spot from the ad:

You will have no problems listening to hours of your favorite songs via the built-in SD card slot, and you can easily change to different songs if you have multiple SD Cards.

and got an email back the next day with a shipping label, RMA number, and apologies. So, I’ve packaged it up, labeled it, and sent it back. They’re going to give me a full refund. I think I’ll end up with a microSD-expandable Sansa player, because I want to be just like . I mean, c’mon. Don’t you?
