Nano and Little Miss Sunshine
First all of you should be proud of me. I ate leftovers from my fridge last night. If there is something you should know about me, it's that I have a problem wasting food in my fridge. I am notorious for getting take out (practically every day) and then having some left over, putting it in my fridge and then forgetting about it completely, watching it rot and then having to throw it away because of the stench. Many of you may be surprised at this personality trait. I have to tell you something though. It's not that I'm TRYING to waste food. It's just that I forget about it and then just happens right before my eyes. Well, you know how I mentioned yesterday that I went to Blockheads? Well---I had some left over chicken, rice and beans and....
I ATE THEM FOR DINNER LAST NIGHT!!!!
I was one of the few times I've actually followed through with this leftover thing. It was quite liberating. I did enjoy the savory flavor a day later. Jess, you were right, they were yummy. :)
Ok, now for the juicy stuff. Well, it's really not juicy at all in the traditional sense, but this has been an ongoing story line for the past few days and I feel the need to wrap things up today. I went to the Apple store during an extended lunch hour I took yesterday. And if by "extended lunch hour" I mean, I took a walk to the Apple store b/c we don't get a lunch hour. Anyway, with my hopes and dreams of the possibility of my iPod being saved, I walked down the spiral stairs and over to the "iPod bar" or whatever the fuck it's called. I walked up to one of those ladies with an iPod name tag around her neck and asked her about my iPod.
SL: Hi, my iPod has been acting pretty strange and I was wondering if you could fix it?
IPL (iPod Lady): Well, what seems to be the problem?
SL: Well, yesterday my iPod started to get really hot, like burning hot, I could barely hold it and then it wouldn't charge and the screen went all black when I went to try and plug it in. Oh also, my computer wouldn't recognize it in iTunes.
IPL: ...how long ago did you purchase it?
SL: About 2 years ago. January of 2005.
IPL: Well, did you buy extended warranty? (she actually used some Apple euphimism for this said warranty that I didn't understand)
SL: No.
IPL. Well, you are going to have to make a reservation to see a specialist. Let's look at the computer.
SL: Well I have to go to work, isn't there any way you can look at it? I mean, I just want to know if it is really broken or if I can get it repaired.
IPL: Ok, let me take a quick look.
SL: Thanks a lot.
***comes back 3 minutes later***
IPL: Well---your hard drive is pretty much fried.
SL: So it's broken? Can you fix it?
IPL: It will cost you $250 bucks.
SL: Guess I'm getting a nano. Thanks a lot.
So----I stood in line, got my cute new black nano and went on my way. :)
I went home and played with my new toy and ate my leftovers. I still can't figure out how to get playlists on my iPod. I had a bunch on my old one, but I really don't know how to transfer the old ones onto my new nano. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
Jess called me at like 8:30 and said she was still in the city and wanted to go see a movie. So---of course, we did. We decided on "Little Miss Sunshine". It was soooooooooo incredibly good! It really was. I'm pretty bad at writing movie reviews, but the acting is great. It's completely believeable and touching. I loved it and so glad I got to see it before it left theatres!
It was late when I got home, and so I passed out.
It was really hard to wake up this morning.
Again, let me please reiterate how bitchy and obnoxious some of the girls in my office are?! it's like---I really wouldn't be friends with them in college or high school. They all have this sense of entitlement and are so snobby. They are really fake and it makes me want to puke all over myself. The problem is that in the office the managers play favorites. The managers love those girls. It's like the more normal and nice you are, the less chance you have that the managers like you. It's so annoying. It think it has to do a lot with the business I'm in and the type of people it attracts. Thankfully, I am not one of those fake mean girls.
Love,
Lauren
P.S But the boys are cute. :)
