FIL #8

Posted on2 Comments

I just got finished reading one of the best books ever. I totally fell in love with Merle and his human-like personality.

Have you ever watched a movie and couldn’t stop thinking about it afterwards? For some reason, I Know Who Killed Me is one of those movies. And not because it was good, because it wasn’t. I think what bothers me is the lost potential. The plot was actually very interesting but the execution was terrible. There were unnecessary scenes and information that was glossed over too quickly. The acting was poor and there was too much gore. Yet it persists in the back of my mind. What a waste of an interesting idea.

Audio Raider is the easiest way to find MP3s without having to pay for them. Not that I advocate that.

If you like Scrubs, you have to check out Rate Your Doc. I particularly enjoyed J.D.’s profile so I voted for him.

I must have this ornament! I caught the last ten minutes of the original Rudolph awhile back and I couldn’t help but wonder why they decided that when his nose would light up it should make an awful screeching noise at the same time.

Sorry, that’s all I got this week. I’m sleepy!

I can never remember the acronym I was using so from now on this is going to be called FIL for Friday I’m In Love.

Lookit! I Spy is described as “must or bust reviews from two chic mamas”. They are brand-spanking new and giving away a $40 Starbucks giftcard if you pass along the good word, which I would do even without the incentive since I love product reviews done by real people.

How freakin’ cute is this bag? Does someone want to get me a little xmas present?

Have you ever heard of Tastefully Simple? I hadn’t until Wednesday when someone brought the most heavenly cracker/chip dip to work for a birthday celebration. Suddenly I could not stop going back for seconds, then thirds. Then after lunch I went back for fourths and it was all gone. I found out it’s one of their seasonings called Onion Onion. I ordered it today. Shipping is as much as the item but damn, that is the best dip I have ever had so it’s worth it. Now if only it would get here so I can eat it!

Cupcakes in Chicago boasts the best cupcakes anywhere but clearly they haven’t tried my yummy lemon cupcakes that everyone gobbled up on Wednesday. In any case, I need to visit this place soon. I also aspire to decorate my cupcakes with the cool swirly style that they do. I even bought a decorating kit.

FYI – moving forward I will be responding to most comments within the comments section itself instead of via e-mail. Therefore I have added an option to subscribe to comments so you know when I’ve replied. I figured perhaps this would encourage more discussion on the site. I’m by no means a comment whore but things are super quiet lately and I’m thinking perhaps new visitors are turned off and assume I ignore comments since they don’t see a response. In any case, we’ll see how it goes.

I admit, I’m not one who necessarily explores the full gamut of what software can do. I’ve been using the free version of Winamp for years and automatically upgrade whenever a new version comes out, so I’m not sure how long this nifty feature has been available, but today while preparing a DVD for Brother #2 of The Cure’s full body of work, I stumbled upon something called auto-tag. It’s really cool because it’s such a pain trying to edit the file info for each song individually and manually.

With auto-tag you load as many MP3s into the Playlist as you want and right-click and choose “send to auto-tag” and the program compares each file to a database and returns results. If they are accurate you can choose for the information to be updated accordingly. I love it! Most of The Cure’s albums were in the database, but I did manage to confuse it on a few things; mostly bootlegs.

Now I’ll be spending the next week updating all my MP3s. Damn, I have way too many! I know my brother will appreciate it when he loads the songs onto his iPod, though.
