WOAH!

I'm blurbed on a website! Candy Covererd Books picked up my "Playing With Boys" review

(Sorry it took me so long to fix the link, because my mad html skillz? Simmered down to merely grouchy well before the tech bubble burst. It's so sad.)

It's pretty nifty to get a little recognition as a reviewer, I have to say. I suppose this should compell me to make a dent in the pile of pink covered books breeding under my desk, but no. I just finished Bill Bryson's "A Short History of Nearly Everything" and I've been picking up "Pride and Prejudice" and "Baggage" by Emily Barr here and there. I've also got a bug to re-read the Harry Potter series before the new book comes out in June.

In other news, I managed to fix my iPod without pressing it onto Adam and whining "fix it!" I always feel like a winner when I can sort out some technological nonsense without relying upon Mr. CS Degree. Anyway, iTunes wasn't recognizing iPoddy as an iPod. It was refusing to load purchased music. I was very put out. I bought Junior Senior's "Move Your Feet" without resorting to bit torrents and I wanted to listen to it at work, dagnabit!

Eventually it dawned on me I could probably update iPoddy's OS and problems would be solved. Simple solution, and I was right, but it's embarrasing to admit it took me four months to figure this out. At one point, I was considering trading in my Gateway laptop for a Mac Powerbook, just so iPoddy would work, it was that dire.

I'd still take a Powerbook over a Windows machine, but that's another story – one that makes Adam gnash his teeth in agony.
